Totem Animal of the Month ~ HERON ~
Herons stand silently in shallow water patiently studying fish, frogs, and crayfish movements. In one quick movement herons plunge their heads into the water and catch their prey. These birds will resolutely defend their feeding territories from other herons.
These birds are opportunist eaters who'll eat practically anything small enough to swallow. When nesting, herons create crude nests in trees out of sticks. If the nest doesn't collapse in winter, they'll reuse the same nest only making necessary repairs.
Heron's slow, deliberate manner produces a ceremonial aura and displays the harmonious natural flow of being ourselves.

Heron's slow, deliberate manner produces a ceremonial aura and displays the harmonious natural flow of being ourselves.
Heron teaches us how to become comfortable in uncertain situations where we need to watch for an opportunity to arise and quickly grasp it. It calls us to take courage and follow our true path, which will be discovered through exploring our inner selves, and finding what draws us to action.
As with the Angel of the Month, the message from the animal kingdom is quite appropriate. What this is telling me based on the energies at the moment, and the message from the angels, is that by being patient and still, we will be able to calmly and deliberately catch the opportunies as the arise to the surface.
We have been waiting patiently and planting our seeds. As long as we stand still until the right moment comes, which we will know it without question when it comes, providing that we are in our stillness. We then will be able to do exactly as the Heron does and grab the opportunty with all of our soul and take flight with it.
That moment is nearly upon us, but if we make our move even a moment too soon or too late, we will miss it and have to try again. Have no fear though, because more opportunities will come, and once we've had more practice, that moment will come for us to take that leap of faith and fly.
The Angels and the energy of the Heron say that we cannot fail in this process, whether your goal is personal & spiritual growth, improving your health, to find your soulmate, or to find your life purpose and live successfully in that purpose.
We have all come so far, and have laid the groundwork for this inevitable success. Enjoy it. You deserve it!
