Flect is a divine reflection, a master of shape shifting, and a symbol of limitless freedom and possibilities. 

Flect is a powerful being who brings together whimsy and surprise, intention and integration, thoughtfulness and desire, letting go and letting be. They bring the message to always remember that even though we may appear separate, we all really are connected.   

Flect reminds you to stand with your feet firmly rooted in the ground, and when the winds of change come blowing, bend so you won't break. They bring the message that change is inevitable—growth is a choice. And that you are not obligated to be the same person you were 5 years ago, 5 months ago, 5 days ago, or even 5 minutes ago. Just as the butterfly replied to the caterpillar's comment, "You've changed", "We're supposed to."

Flect's medicine is that of self-awareness, self-acceptance, self-confidence and self-love. They remind you that noticing the beauty in another is not the absence of your own, and the things you notice in others also exist within you. They remind you that everyone you meet is a mirror and reflects back to you aspects of yourself; sometimes aspects you admire and sometimes shadow aspects ego fails to allow you to acknowledge. 

Flect gives you the courage to shine the light of your consciousness on the hidden aspects of yourself as a way to dissipate the darkness and invite and live in more love.   

Flect reminds you that you are adaptable, capable and a force for good. The energy you put out into the world is returned to you ten fold. They want you to remember that the more you have, the more you have to share with others. The positive and the negative both exist—you get to choose which one you focus on. 

Flect says: I see you. (POV: Avatar)

Every Mis Sombras Guide reveals itself over time. These are a few of the symbols that have emerged:

connection - unity, reciprocity, generosity, shared humanity

reflection - self-awareness, recognition, mirroring, interconnectedness

grounded - stability, presence, inner foundation, strength

smile - joyful, coy, playful, calm, fluid, happy

W - identity, beginning, typography, passion, whimsy, resourcefulness, we (togetherness)

Flect may find you when change is asking you to loosen your grip on an outdated version of yourself. You may be discovering qualities within yourself you hadn't previously recognized, seeing yourself reflected through your relationships, or realizing that something you once believed about who you are no longer fits. Flect invites you to meet that awareness without judgment. You are allowed to change your mind, change your direction, change your patterns, and change your relationship with yourself. Stay rooted enough to know yourself and flexible enough to keep becoming.

Embody Flect by:

• allowing yourself to change without apologizing for who you were before
• noticing what your reactions to others reveals about you
• celebrating beauty in someone else without diminishing your own
• meeting hidden or uncomfortable parts of yourself with curiosity instead of rejection
• staying grounded in your values while remaining flexible in your identity
• choosing where you place your attention and what energy you contribute
• letting what you have become something you can share

What am I ready to recognize, accept, or change about myself now that I couldn't see before?
