Another great lesson from the Great Blue Heron

Another great lesson from the Great Blue Heron

Peace
As with all of the Creature Beings of the Earth Mother, the coloring of the Great Blue Heron’s feathers is significant, as each color carries with it special attributes unique to that Creature.

Blue in nature is connection to Father Sky and also represents Peace and Tranquility.

In Esoteric thought, deep blue is also the color of the sixth chakra which corresponds to the third eye. Hence, insight and psychic vision are also emphasized here.

Although the Great Blue Heron is by nature a predominantly solitary bird, during mating season, Herons will gather in clusters to nest and raise young in what are called colonies. It is remarkable to witness the peace and harmony that abounds in these colonies, and is a testimony to the ability of a highly independent creature to adapt to communal life.

Just as the Blue Heron must find within herself the ability to live in cooperative peace with other members of the colony, so does the two-legged beside whom Heron fly enter the Earthwalk with the theme of Peace.

This may either be a natural state of Being for one with this bird as a Primary Totem, or in the instance where Great Blue Heron has surfaced as either a Messenger or Lesson Totem, the Lesson then becomes about finding Inner Peace and Tranquility.

If Great Blue Heron is one of the Primary Totems, then, throughout life much interest will be focused in establishing and maintaining Peace.

Initially however, this quest for harmony may manifest as the Blue Heron Soul attempting to direct Others to such a state, preliminarily failing to recognize that Peace must first come from Within.

Consider the following quote by the renowned Sioux Holy Man, Black Elk:

"The first peace, which is the most important, is that which comes within the souls of the people when they realize their relationship, their oneness with the Universe and all its powers, and when they realize that at the center of the universe dwells the Great Spirit, and that this center is really everywhere, it is within each of us."

When Blue Heron soul finds that Peace within the Self, then the lesson gained in the journey will be shared as a means of guiding Others to finding that same Peace within. We call this Conditions of Deliverance!

It is also true that when in peaceful attunement and harmony with Self, the two-legged beside whom Blue Heron flies will also emit a powerful and profound tranquil vibration that will effect all around them...thusly, inspiring burgeoning souls to come into balance and harmony with One and All....priceless Gift to give indeed!
