Navigating Symbolic Guidance on the Journey of Self-Discovery"

Receiving guidance and support - symbolically is part of the tapestry of life.?

In times before the arrival of technology, symbolic events and happenings would be considered messages to warn or to give guidance.?

And it is still very relevant today, however, with such busy lives and being focused on achieving more in a world of materialism and having more rather than being fulfilled with what you have.

It is time to start witnessing the guidance and warnings the universe gives you.

Why awareness of the messages the universe is sending you is vital

Imagine you are driving along a narrow country road relatively fast.

When you notice a wood pigeon sitting precisely where it is likely to be run over, it knows you are driving towards it, yet it makes no attempt to fly off.?

What would you do??

Keep going, hoping that it will fly off before you hit it.

Or?

Would you brake to avoid it??

You only have seconds to decide to keep going or brake hard.?Which is often the case in life. Split-second decisions that can and do affect your mental, emotional and physical state forever.

As an animal lover, I braked hard. Had I had to, it was safe for me to do so. And because I always send a request out to the universe before I start driving to ensure I am unharmed whilst travelling and that I cause no harm.?

What was so surprising and funny was that less than 5 minutes later, the same situation occurred.?

Another wood pigeon was waiting for me.?

"Okay, what's going on?" Was my thought after I laughingly avoided the second bird.?

Being curious provides clarity.

Naturally curious, as the universe tends to send me symbolic messages to let me know what I need to know. I searched the internet for the spiritual meaning of wood pigeons.?

And found the following:?

?? The Egyptians recognized them as?representations of fertility, good fortune, and longevity.

?? Pigeons helped save lives during wars and played a master role in civilization and our world today.

?? Those practising Hinduism consider them to embody the God of Death, representing redemption and transformation.?

?? In ancient Greek and Roman mythology, pigeons are comparable to the Goddess of Love, Pleasure, Passion, and Beauty.

?? In Christianity, the pigeon represents peace, kindness, healing, divine blessings, and happiness.


As a spirit animal, pigeons can represent...

? Positivity, even when everything is chaotic. Generous and forgiving.

? Determined and persistent, and ready for a challenge.

?Hardworking, gentle, and a contributing force in the world, in?

??combination with unprecedented loyalty

? With a heart of gold, always be there for anyone in need.


The pigeon's spirit stands for healing, enabling you to be kind to yourself, let go, accept, and move forward.


It symbolizes the ability to fly towards the aspects of life that will give you the freedom to live in harmony with others — guiding you out of a life of solitude and helping to motivate with support and love.?

Everyone faces turbulence during life on earth, facing hardships, emotional unbalance, and challenges.

However, to sum it all up.?

The spiritual meaning of the pigeons is loyalty, perseverance, kindness, growth in wisdom and insight, harmony, nurturing, survival skills, beauty, heart, and the ability to live a sound, serene life.

Who would have thought that driving along a country road would lead to such revelations about life??

Keep an eye out for unusual or reoccurring situations and events.

This is why it is wise to be aware of unusual or reoccurring events, as they may hold hidden messages to help you live a fulfilled life.?

I am grateful for the guidance those two wood pigeons have given me as confirmation that I have reached the end of my healing journey. I am ready to start the next phase of my life.?


Accepting your power, live life as YOU!

We all have our own uniqueness, life journey, and the path we want to follow with passion and purpose.?

It becomes easier to do so when you are no longer fearful or retain beliefs and emotions that disempower you from being YOU!

Karen Bashford I did not know that about pigeons; although I am aware of other spirit animals though I have a few but I love hearing about pigeons I really do. And I love how they appeared on the road to you. I love how they are so revered as far too many people so not appreciate them. I just love this Karen ??
