Pull Back and Redirect Your Life Force with Lizard Medicine ~
Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest:
9. The Lizard is very pragmatic about self-preservation and deftly instructs us on how to quickly let go of whatever is threatening our safety or personal integrity.
Do you need to let go of a dream that’s turned into a nightmare?
Are you overly invested in an abusive person, institution or ideology?
If so, what can you do?
Healing Action: Separate from obligations and allegiances that connect you with falsehood. Drop life destructive plans or relationships in favor of life affirming ones.
A Lizard’s Tale
The lizard is a master of adaptation.
She can change her color to blend
into her environment.
She can stand remarkably still
and run remarkably fast.
If her enemies grab her by the tail,
she simply lets it go
and grows a new one.
She knows that life is a dream
and she is the dreamer.
She cannot control her circumstances,
but she can control how she reacts to them.
Listen to her sage advice:
“It is better to lose your tail than to lose your life.
You can always grow a new one.”

Further Exploration into Lizard Medicine:
Any experience in life or the dreamtime requires an investment of energy, time, space and/or attention. If you’re having trouble with an experience, the best, most peaceful way to handle it is to cut off the investment from your end.
You may think you’re fine, yet the Lizard is here to warn you that you’re deceiving yourself in a fundamental way. Others are trying to hold you to standards or expectations that are harmful to your health and wellbeing. It’s time, maybe even past time, to chase down the possibilities and make corrections. Befriend the Lizard and ask her Circle:
- Are you being overly naive about certain people, establishments or belief systems and not seeing them as they truly are behaving?
- Are you being taken advantage of by others by doing their work for them or trying to make up for their indiscretions? Do you have your Free Will?
- Are you tying yourself down to duty and obligation? What is the purpose in doing that?
- Are you confused about what the true meaning of love and friendship is?
- What does your intuition tell you about what’s really going on in this situation?
- Be honest with yourself, what is the real reason you’re feeling obligated?
Look at the Circle again to help you know what to do about your situation:
- Accept the damage and the truth of your situation.
- Make a plan for letting go.
- Know what you must do to follow through.
Once you deal with the changes you must make, you will realize that letting go is often a blessing in disguise.
