fish

[Jitendra Hy-do-u-no-us?]

We seek meaning in all our encounters and predictaments. Yesterday I had an interesting thing happen to me. A man with two boys walked by me and asked if I had seen any fish. Perhaps it was not just him that was looking but he was answering to an inner call in myself.

Fish: symbol of Religion, Change, Movement, Life
Several religions have used the fish to symbolize life, spiritual change and motion: Fish were considered sacred to the Greeks and Romans. The first Christians represented trinity by three fishes. The icthus is used today as a symbol for christian community. Fish is also one of the eight sacred symbols of the Buddha. Throughout history fish have been associated with religion and worship.

The fish moves freely through water - a symbol of life which is honored in many cultures. Water is constantly flowing and the fish totem is an excellent teacher of transitions through life.

The flowing energy of the fish can also be applied to money matters - since money can be viewed as energy that should always flow freely. The fish can be a helper at times of movement and change in both financial and spiritual situations.
