An owl is one of those elusive creatures that not many people pay attention to, as they tend to stay away from us and daylight environments. However, if you delve much deeper into owls and their behaviors, you can certainly learn to implement many of their traits into your own life and possibly soar in the energetic skies as owls do.
Let’s start with the many traits these extraordinary birds exhibit.
Owls are great at adapting to their environments, helping them feel at home no matter where they may go geographically.
Owls have acute senses and are one of the most skilled hunters in the animal kingdom. Not only is their sight keen to find even the slightest movement or color change, but their hearing can pick up the most minute sound and know exactly where to zero in.
Owls can be stealth flyers as they fly silently through the night. Many times, their prey never even see or hear them approach.
Owls can be very still for hours at a time giving them a chance to position themselves in subtle ways to get a literal 360-degree view of any area.
In the spirit world Owls are revered to be:
knowledgeable and have great wisdom,
have stellar intuition,
ready to “own” being truthful,
vigilant and aware of their surroundings,
release the past, old burdens and face your fears to move forward,
fearless,
transformational,
protective.
Some people believe if you hear the hoot of an owl that this is a clear sign warning you of change or possible danger.
Now imagine if you could take both the traits and spiritual guidance from the owl, how different your life will be.
Imagine if you were fearless and simply moved through the fear with awareness and ease.
Picture how different your life would be if you allowed yourself to be immersed within your surroundings and learned to let your prejudices and limitations melt away allowing you to adapt.
Think of how much you would learn if you took the time to simply observe your surroundings by listening to the sounds and taking the time to really see everything around you, becoming ever more ready to be truthful with yourself.
If you could expand your willingness to see more to gain a 360 view of the world, can you imagine how different (and increasingly useful) your perspective would be?
To truly get the most from the owl spirit, I believe it’s about being observant, trusting in your gut, and transforming your life based on the lessons brought to you by the universe. Be willing to look in the shadows of your unconscious and clear out any old baggage. By letting go of the “what if” fears, you have the freedom to fly through life much like the owl, silently observing while gaining much wisdom along the way.
Here’s to the journey of life.
