Zen Moment - Bird Angel Soaring Above Me!

This morning while taking a few moments to meditate on my back patio hammock, a tropical looking multicolored bird came soaring toward me, and I felt the air shift it was so close to my face. It was quite the awakening, and struck me as a very spiritual ZEN serendipitous occurrence. My mood was not the best at that moment, and it changed my perspective for my day immediately. I think the bird was a type of Tanager. Here's a picture of the bird I believe came soaring over my head this morning! Thanks for the ZEN VISIT and uplifting my mood for the day, it was Perfect Divine Timing!

I googled the animal totem for bird to see what it meant on a spiritual level. I found these perfect quotes for my day about the symbolism of all birds on the website: 
Spirit Animal Totems 

You have the ability to confront your fears. Once you do you will wonder what you were afraid of in the first place!

-Cassowary

Look at the situation from a different perspective.

-Hawk

You are more powerful than you think you are. Believe and have faith!

-Raven

Reading the quote about the Raven reminded me of this photo I took a few years ago. Click on photo if interested in purchasing a print.

I discovered a wonderful interpretation on the meaning of birds soaring and chirping into your space on Thought.com, here is an excerpt by: Whitney Hopler

Birds have inspired human beings throughout history with their ability to rise above the Earth. Something about birds soaring through the air stirs our souls, motivating us to rise above our earthly concerns and learn more about a greater world beyond our Earth: the spiritual realm. Birds and angels share a special bond, as well, since both symbolize the beauty of spiritual growth and angels sometimes even choose to appear with wings, like birds.

People sometimes see birds appear before them to deliver some type of spiritual messages. They may encounter angels manifesting in the form of a bird, see images of a beloved bird who has died and now they believe is acting as a spirit guide to them, or catch sight of bird images that symbolize something God wants to communicate to them (known as animal totems). Or, they may receive extraordinary inspiration from God simply through their ordinary interactions with the birds in their lives.

If you're open to receiving spiritual messages through birds, here's how God may use them to send messages to you:

Angels Appearing as Birds

Angels are associated with birds more than any other type of animal because angels who appear to humans in their heavenly glory sometimes feature wings. Wings symbolize both the spiritual covering of God's care for people and the freedom and empowerment people gain from spiritual growth.

Sometimes, angels may even appear in the physical form of earthly birds, if doing so can help them best convey the messages God has given them to deliver to people.
