Kestrel Two Feet

This past week has been difficult for me. I have not felt well emotionally, physically, or spiritually. In an attempt to reset and heal myself, I decided to revisit my old meditation spot and had an amazing visit.

Today I was joined by a chickadee during my meditation. The first message it had for me was to get rid of my crap. You can imagine how it relayed that message. I then noticed it had something in its beak. I first thought this was a message about adding something to my life. But after watching him flit from branch to branch, I realized that the something was actually stuck to his beak. I felt that this message was trying to tell me about how I am “stuck”. I’m not sure of the exact block it was trying to convey. This will require more meditation through the week.

After journaling my experience today, I decided to research more about the chickadee. Many people recognize this bird by the black cap on its head. The cap symbolizes the higher mind, and the thinking process. While the black color represents mystery. The two together reflects the ability of the chickadee to help one uncover the mysteries and secrets of the mind. The chickadee can help one uncover a higher truth.

There are also seven kinds of chickadees. A number which has much significance in the spiritual world. Seven corresponds to the number of chakras, major planets, and rays of power. Many consider the number seven to be lucky and will incorporate it into their lives as much as possible.

I feel especially blessed and grateful to have received a visit from the chickadee spirit today. And I hope I can honor its message.
