“Who would have thought, that a flyaway budgie could have such wonderful teachings and profound healing effects on my unsuspecting, bird loving client, Peter?” Upon meeting and getting to know ‘Flash Gordon’, or ‘Flash’ as he sometimes likes to be called, during the course of our sessions, it is a question I keep asking myself.
Flash just appeared one day out of nowhere, at one of Peters many bird feeders. At this time, Peter was struggling with the emotional demons of fear, anxiety, and depression and was having a difficult time pulling himself out from under their grasp.
It appears that Flash took this as the perfect window of opportunity to wend his way in to Peter’s heart and slowly start to work his unique budgie magic, on his soul. By showing up as a neon green budgie, whose natural home is in the jungle, there was not much of a chance that this being’s light could be missed. Flash needed Peter to notice him, and he did.
Being the wonderful healer and teacher that Flash is, it was not long before Peter looked forward to his regular visits and began to learn what he was here to share. One of the things that I find interesting is that Flash initially showed himself to Peter in ways that he could relate to. He showed his scientific approach to learning important new things like how to land on particular perches so that he could reach the premium food that he wanted, he also showed great compassion and love while studying the blind eyes of an elderly grackle. These are qualities that caught Peter’s attention simply because they are qualities he possessed himself so they resonated well within him.
As time went on there were many instances that Peter expressed his fears for Flash’s safety to me, whether they be due to visits by a resident hawk, or inclement weather, etc. Each and every time Flash pumped himself up like the powerful warrior type being that he is, and told me there was nothing to worry about. Flash even exhibited the instincts of a wild bird, even though it was obvious that he had been tame at some point. It seemed he could telepathically tap into his wild companions, and absorb what he needed from them, as required.
Through the course of our consults it became apparent that Flash was fearless, strong, confident, and wise, all attributes that he urged Peter to adopt. Flash helped him see that a life lived without worries and fears, perhaps lived even a little on the edge, could bring pure joy and bliss. Flash continued to share the absolute delight he experienced in his freedom, and made it very clear that he had no interest in coming back inside, no matter what the circumstances. I felt Peter on the precipice of opening his own wings and taking flight himself. It seemed that his heart had been residing in the spiritual, emotional and ethereal realms while his head still had a foothold in all the scientific training he’d had. Flash was showing him that once he let his heart lead, that he would be able to spread his own wings and soar.
Flash is off on his own journey right now to avoid the harshest elements of winter, but continues to oversee Peter’s transformation and growth in spirit. Weekly I see Peter glimpsing light, joy and empowerment and I sense Flash smiling down on him.
