Sitting in the hot springs pool on the banks of the Rio Grande, I watched a blue heron standing on the water’s edge. So still. So patient.
Heron’s Message
Heron reminded me that you can be of both (or many) worlds and can obtain and maintain balance, stillness and patience within.
And with heron’s message, I energetically pulled back so I could observe (perhaps with more objectivity?) and ponder (I love that word).
I’ve had to learn patience – both for myself and with others. For me, I’ve always like instant gratification…to see some sort of results immediately.
Hubby, the strategist, is in for the long run to achieve the goal…and dare I say satisfaction of achievement. He has patience.
Patience towards others was a bit harder for me. Having the ability to FarSee (of the statistician ability), I could See where someone was headed and used to try to “help” redirect them…or maybe I was trying to rescue them.
I did eventually learn that I can offer insights, but people usually need to experience things for themselves to learn from it.
Each individual is on their own journey to have their own experiences – regardless if I foresee it becoming a tumultuous leg of their journey. This includes those who choose to stay in 3D.
As we have a foot in two or more dimensions, or worlds, and we continue working on raising our frequency or vibration, others are welcome to work on following suit.
Stand in Two Worlds
I left the hot spring pools and went to play tourist for a bit. I returned to the pools many hours later when dusk had arrived. I saw, perhaps twenty feet further downstream, the heron once again — or perhaps still — at the water’s edge.
Another symbolic message heron brings is that transitions in life may require one to stand in two worlds.
Many of us are experiencing this part of heron’s message on a larger scale – being of two worlds. We were born into the chaotic physical realm of the third dimension – yet a large portion of us are now standing in either two or more worlds: 3rd and 4th Dimension; 4th and 5th Dimension; or 3rd, 4th and 5th Dimension. Some of us are walking even more than that.
As we raise our vibration to remove ourselves from 3D, we should remember heron’s message to maintain balance, stillness and patience.
To me, this also means being still and having patience for those on their own journeys; to not try to rescue them; to work on not judging others and where they are on their journey. This, to me, means we can lend a hand (within your means and boundaries) when they ask. In other words, maintain your boundaries and don’t fall back into the 3D drama and chaotic energies.
And finally, when heron finally achieved his goal (catching fish for dinner), he lifted and soared upstream, joyously announcing his success for reaching his goal.
Perhaps we can all learn a bit from heron.
