I wrote about our little pigeon who came to be with us at lunch the other day. She literally sat there for nearly an HOUR – definitely out of the ordinary – and definitely worth looking up to see what the energy of pigeon brings.

I always encourage clients to talk to the messenger…to connect to the being who has been sent to you by God. As I did this with our little one, I felt so safe. So protected. So guarded. It felt like motherly energy. Mother’s love. Her energy made me feel happy, and safe.

I came home and this is what I found…and, wow, is that the type of energy I felt!

Pigeons originally lived on the wild cliff faces of the European and Asian seacoasts.  Used by the Chinese for hundreds of years to send messages they also carried money exchange rates between banks in Canton and Hong Kong. Pigeons have been used extensively for delivering messages in times of war. Early navigators took pigeons to sea in hopes that, if they became lost the pigeon would show them the way to land.  Pigeons can fly for 550 miles in one day and can travel in bursts of speed up to 60 knots. They teach  us how to preservere and keep our focus on the goal at hand.

This amazing bird holds the qualities of home, security and maternal instincts.  Those with this totem often experience unsettling childhood’s and will be challenged continually to acquire a solid secure foundation in all areas of their lives. The pigeon assists us in finding the stability of home that has been lost.

No matter where pigeon ends up or how it gets there, it knows the way home.  The Pigeons gift to us is the ability to accomplish.  They do not get lost because they are in tune with the natural ways of earth, and are always aware of their goals. They use all their senses equally and navigate their lives in a balanced way.  If Pigeon comes to you, it is asking you to keep your sights and sensitivities clearly set on where you want to be, and start moving.  Even if you don’t know exactly how to get there, by following your inner guidance you can find your way.
