What Is Your Bluebirds' Song?

When I lived back East for a few years, I was fortunate to have Bluebirds nesting in my own backyard. This was my first encounter with my much-loved birds. Here is a journal entry I wrote at the time.

How do you access your greatest potential? Do you have a vision of your authentic self?

I looked out the window this morning and was greeted by an amazing sight: four or more beautiful Bluebirds playing in my backyard! They lined up at the feeder, darted from tree to tree, and even hung in midair, flapping their bright blue wings. It looked like a scene straight out of a Disney movie. I half expected Snow White to step out from behind the trees. It was a magical moment. While this might seem magical to anyone who saw it outside their window, for me, there’s more to the story. You need to understand The Bluebirds' Song.

How The Story Began

“The Bluebirds' Song" is a story I wrote that describes my journey of personal transformation that began with a Peak Experience through music. In its essence, it's about leaving the safety and security of your comfort zone to venture into the unknown. It's also about the painful process of change and the strength and support of friendship. Bluebirds have come to symbolize my most authentic self and highest potential. I can't tell you how many times Bluebirds have appeared in my life since then to inspire me. Sometimes, like today, they appear physically and profoundly; other times, they show up on a flag or in a song at just the right moment. Having a symbol or metaphor to connect with your source of inspiration and power can be exciting and helps keep life magical.

How Do You Access Your True Nature?

My question for you is: What is your bluebird's song? How do you access your greatest potential? Do you have a vision of your authentic self? Do you have a name, a metaphor, or a powerful symbol to help you access that part of yourself whenever you need it?

I invite you to spend time getting to know this part of yourself better. You can do this by spending time in nature, keeping a journal, taking quiet moments to meditate, and connecting with your inner spirit. I encourage you to find your own symbol or name that brings this part of yourself to life! If you nurture it, you'll be amazed at how much guidance and support you can receive when you least expect it. I would love to hear from anyone with stories of magical moments that helped them stay connected to their True Nature.

Your challenge is to start listening to what holds you back from that connection. Just notice, without arguing or struggling. Once you can recognize the pigeon voice (or ego), you gain the power to make conscious choices about whether to believe it.
