One of the main aspects of Heron's medicines is self-reflection. It's about going beyond the surface,
beyond appearances, to realize your true nature, your true state of being.
When Heron inspires us to
dip our head into the water, water isn’t just a metaphor for emotions, nor is
it limited to our subconscious. Many people fear that that’s as far as they’ll
get, stuck in a swirling eddy of every uncomfortable emotion they’ve ever had,
but that’s the ego’s, the mind’s preoccupation.
Below all is your true nature.
Water's surface is like a
mirror for the many reflections of ourselves, but when we look at the surface
of who we imagine ourselves to be, it's not necessarily our individual, authentic
Selves we're perceiving. We pick up things from other people (and spirits). Taking
just your formative years in this life, for example; how many habits do you
think (/ or feel) you've picked up from the people around you? What of other
people’s perspectives have you adopted?
It begs the question: Is it
yours? Is it You?
If you can see that you
might have adopted behaviours, what about opinions? judgements? 'ways of being
in the world'? beliefs? For further mysteries in that regard, consider that
you've also carried reflections over from past
lives.
In the Grand Divine Design
of it all, everyone that comes into our experience is ultimately a part of
ourselves, and part of our journey is to work through what karma we've accrued
with them, on our path to realizing ourselves as essential Light.
If you’re reading this,
you’re ready to move in a new direction, to discover things about yourself and
your lifedream, what’s hidden below
the surface of what the perceptions you’ve adopted have presented to you. Take
the opportunity to see through the veil. If you feel you need help with it, connect with a healer or seer.
It doesn’t have to be me; just go with whoever presents and resonates with you (and
don’t worry; there is no wrong choice – as Spirit would have it, we always
receive the exact medicine we need). You’ll experience a renewal in your
relationships with others, yes, but most importantly, in your relationship with
your Self.
