Lynx
The keeper of secrets
Nature of the lynx
The lynx is the largest wild cat in Europe and lives in seclusion in the forests of the Jura and the Alps. With its tufted ears it hears the faintest sounds, with its eyes it sees far into the twilight. The old ones said its gaze could see through walls. It seldom shows itself – and whoever meets it remembers it for a lifetime.
Inner attitude
The lynx doesn't need to speak in order to know. It observes patiently and acts at the right moment. It guards what is entrusted to it.
The essential qualities
- perceptive
- discreet
- patient
- independent
- watchful
It sees what others overlook.
Meaning
The lynx appears when you perceive more than you admit to yourself. It invites you to trust your perception – and not to say everything straight away. And it reminds you that some knowledge ripens in silence.
Voice of the being
«Be silent, look – and recognise. What you see in silence is truer than any loud word.»
Encounter & working together
You meet the lynx in quiet forests where hardly anyone goes. Sit completely still for a while and count what you perceive – sounds, movements, smells.
Pay attention to
- where you sense more than you say
- where silence protects you
- where your gaze goes deeper than that of others
The lynx works when you are ready to trust your own perception.
Essence
I see quietly and recognise clearly.
