Blue Heron & Egret
Meaning, Messages & Magic
Blue Heron & Egret symbolize being
Blue Heron asks you to look inside and nurture all aspects of yourself. Embrace your “flaws”, uniqueness, and feelings of shame with self-love. Once you love your whole self and find your inner peace, you’ll be able to bring peace to others, spreading healing throughout the world.
Breath deep, stand in each moment, feel the full spectrum of emotions, and lead with your heart.
Blue Herons walk slowly or stand still for long periods of time when waiting to catch fish, trusting that what they need will come to them at the right time. What areas of your life could you bring more patience to? Sharpen your awareness so you’re ready whenever “it” arrives.
Blue Herons’ uniquely s-shaped necks allow them to stand at a distance and strike quickly at prey. Use this to your advantage. You don’t need to be right in the middle of everything. You can have quick access to things/desires seemingly out of nowhere. Lean on your keen observation and intuition to know the best time to strike.

I want to hear about your Blue Heron experiences. What stories or dreams have you had? Please share and join in the conversation below!
I am in my mid 70’s . My manager/friend was terminated 6 weeks ago. It has devastated me as it was a both personal & work related relationship that has been one off the best of my life. Today was the first day we have had a meet up. Much gossip & stress has surrounded her leaving. As we walked and talked and sat on a bench around a pond. I observed a Blue Heron which flew over us. In looking up the meaning it has given me the first real peace I have had in weeks. Even more so, I see you are from Asheville, so are my Grandchildren, teenagers. Who lost their mother months ago. I have been unable to significantly give appropriate support to them, & I am hoping this experience will give me peace to give to them, who need it more.
