Okay, so I’ve been seeing a lot of ostrich imagery lately, and it got me thinking about the ostrich spiritual meaning. I decided to dive in and see what I could find, and maybe even do a little experimenting of my own.
My Ostrich Journey
First, I did what anyone would do – I hit the internet. I started looking up “ostrich symbolism” and “ostrich spiritual meaning”. I read through a bunch of articles, some more helpful than others. I jotted down some key ideas that kept popping up:
- Grounding: Ostriches can’t fly, so they’re super connected to the earth.
- Survival: They’re tough birds that can handle harsh environments.
- Protection: That whole “burying their head in the sand” thing (even though it’s a myth!) made me think about protection and boundaries.
- Hidden Truths: It is also associate with uncovering what’s been ignored.
Armed with this basic understanding, I decided to try a few things myself to see if I could connect with this ostrich energy.
I started with a simple grounding meditation. I sat outside on the grass, closed my eyes, and imagined myself as an ostrich. I focused on my feet on the ground, feeling the earth’s energy, and just breathed. It sounds silly, but it actually felt pretty good! I felt really calm and centered afterward.
Next, I decided to tackle a task I’d been avoiding. I figured, if ostriches are all about survival, maybe I could channel some of that energy. I finally cleaned out my ridiculously messy closet. It wasn’t fun, but I pushed through, and it felt amazing to have it done. Maybe there’s something to this whole ostrich thing after all.
The “protection” aspect was interesting. The following day, I have been thinking all day about the ostrich, then I tried setting some clear boundaries with a friend who’s been a bit draining lately. I just politely said “no” to something I didn’t want to do, and it felt empowering. Small steps, I guess, but it’s a start. I do feel that saying “no” to something I don’t want really brings me a power.
Last but not least, I spent time with uncover the truth. I always complain about things go wrong, so I tried to list out the things I can do to improve the situation. Then I realised the key of a good result is not about others, it’s about me!
So, that’s my little ostrich experiment. I’m not sure if I’m a changed person or anything, but it was a fun way to explore some different ideas and maybe even learn a little something about myself. I think I’ll keep the ostrich in mind, especially when I need to feel grounded or get through something tough.
