Kuan Yin

Kuan Yin has a level of empathy for human emotion that goes beyond any other. She doesn't simply sympathize, She feels what humans feel. Joy and sorrow both, She immerses Herself in human emotion, and that allows Her to understand.

She is generous to those who sacrifice for others with no thought of recompense. She is often seen holding the branch of a weeping willow, symbolizing her connection to the earth through shed tears.

While Kuan Yin is not a warrior goddess in the traditional sense; when She intervenes, Her actions tend to be gentle and palliative, but make no mistake and do not think of Her as a weak goddess, because when She does get involved, She will open doors, hearts and minds, and She will shield those who have pleased Her, which is no small gift!

The faeries remind us that Kuan Yin, while traditionally associated with sorrow and suffering, does take great joy in many things, and the uplifting and healthy passion for dance, formal or simply joyous expression, is always pleasing to Her. And it makes you feel better too! Let you joy be visible in your movements, in your actions. It will bring even more joy into your life.
