blackbird
Hearing or seeing a blackbird is believed to signify a thin veil between the human and spirit worlds. This makes it an ideal time to listen for messages from the great mystery. The blackbird calls us to slow down, step back, and let the story of the universe unfold as he sings his song.
The blackbird is a significant symbol for those on a spiritual path. It reminds us to trust that each day and each choice will be fruitful, providing us with deeper insight into the mystery of our existence and the paths we choose to take.
During a one-on-one equine session, a Blackbird landed nearby just as we were coming to the end. One of the horses noticed and approached the bird, which remained still as they shared a gaze exchange lasting several seconds—an extraordinary moment that felt suspended in time. This magical experience, rich with significance, inspired me to write this blog. In our fast-paced lives, we often overlook the powerful messages surrounding us.

When you release the pressure you place on yourself and embrace a slower pace, you connect with what nourishes your sacred soul. In doing so, you awaken to the call of your spirit and discover your purpose within this grand, beautiful mystery. One day, when the time is right—and you are ready- all will be revealed, and you will start to feel at home.
How We Can Work With The Message of the Blackbird:
When we face challenges in life, such as complex relationships, limiting beliefs about money, and overwhelming emotions like fear and anger, it may feel as if change is impossible. We often become accustomed to our struggles and resort to distractions to block out these thoughts, yet nothing shifts. This happens because we must first unravel the unhealthy patterns that keep us confined. We cling to the good and avoid the bad, yet this approach usually leads us nowhere. True transformation arises from within; we can change our inner landscapes by starting these steps. However, you must be at the point where you are ready to begin your commitment to yourself:
Allow Yourself to Feel
Repressed emotions hold immense power; discovering a nurturing space to experience them can lead to profound healing. Years ago, I found a mentor who provided a neutral yet loving environment that allowed my feelings to surface and be expressed. This transformative experience left me feeling held, heard, and not dismissed or "fixed." I found a place where I finally felt acknowledged.
Is it time to embrace your emotions and tune into their presence within your body? When the moment is right, creating space to heed their messages can uncover profound truths about your inner world, empowering you to make the changes necessary to live a vibrant and authentic life that feels genuinely right.
Accept How You Feel
I learnt that whatever you are feeling is valid. Self-criticism and denial offer no value and hinder your well-being. Embrace compassion towards yourself, offering Comfort and understanding. Treat yourself as you would a frightened five-year-old child.
Shift Your Focus
When you feel ready to explore why life isn't aligning with your expectations or why things seem increasingly challenging, engaging in healthy and comforting activities is crucial. Introduce gentle movement into your routine to help release pent-up emotions.
Avoid pressuring yourself to complete unnecessary tasks. Allow yourself to 'be' and give your body, mind, and spirit a chance to 'reboot' and rest. Participate in activities that nourish and ground you. For example, I enjoy writing, sipping cacao while listening to the trees, reading about everything magical, and taking walks. You might prefer working out, organising your space, or spending time in nature. Choose whatever makes you feel good. Even if you feel stuck, a simple shake of your arms can help release uncomfortable feelings.
Release, Surrender and Take Comfort
True magic unfolds when you're ready to release the old and surrender to the moment. Finding places where you feel supported and cared for is essential. Sitting under a beloved tree or in a cherished park or garden can bring you Comfort in both magical and everyday ways when you take the time to slow down.
If you're ready to embark on a transformative journey and move past feelings of being stuck and confused, explore our one-on-one equine sessions, cacao ceremonies, and shamanic healing sessions. You will be guided in creating your sacred space, elevating your energy, and focusing your intent to release burdens.
