EGRET (HERON) 

The heron spirit presence in your life enables you to function very well in both the worlds of fantasy and reality. This bird prefers to hunt in the magical hours at twilight.

Also, it can oscillate between hunting in the waters and on land. According to some Native American folklore, this shows liminality.

Liminality is a word that describes ability to perform well in a space that is neither here, nor there.

From this, you can learn very precious lessons. You are not your environment. You are not even your own body.

You exist in liminality, suspended without time or place.

Granted, this may sound a little scary. What it means is that you need to take care of your entire world.

You are because everything else is. Make it your agenda to create peace and harmony with your surroundings.

Take care of the NOW. When the heron spirit animal comes into your life, it helps you to come to terms with this concept.

It helps you to maintain a calm, fluid lifestyle.

If a Snowy Egret shows up Patience, patience, patience - you will soon get your reward. This is a time to rely more on yourself than on others to provide what you need. Although it is useful to be aware of what you are feeling, it’s better to rely on your intelligence and wit in this situation. Keep your head above water so you can see what’s going on around you. Go under the surface of your feelings and allow whatever emotions are there to flow through you easily and without inhibition.

• You desire some level of independence
• You need a fighting spirit
• You are facing many tough tests
• You desire to craft your own path
• You want to get back your sense of balance
