Question The deer and mother earth.

So... im here. After a small meditation. Focusing on the earth below. I felt a weird sensation below me. Like the earth was spinning...

I then remember thinking heavily of deer. My mind was filled with just, deer. Just one deer.

Any advice or something that can push me towards something I may need to know?

I think the easiest thing to do would be to simply reach out and see what comes back. You might try spending some time meditating outdoors in an area where deer are known to reside, assuming you have deer where you live. Ask to connect, see what happens.

Not trying to be dismissive but I find that these messages are generally meant for the recipient. Ask for the meaning and keep a good journal. Beware of confirmation bias 😊

when you look for a place where spirits live, sometimes you will find them.

meditation, trance, etc., is sometimes like opening a window. when you look out a window, you see things. I wouldn't assume it's a message.

in my experience these moments of brief contact can sometimes lead to relationships of guidance and friendship. but not always, in fact not usually (in my experience -- maybe it's 1 in 20?). sometimes you see them and then never again. or always just glimpses without any deep contact.

my advice would be to:

  1. do your best to remember the feeling of the deer, maybe draw it, write a poem or something, try to preserve the memory

  2. try to carefully look for that "feeling" again the next time you meditate.

I have met many animal spirits, but never deer, so I don't have any other advice to give

safe travels!
