Sandhill Crane – BALANCE
Sandhill Crane, with Butterfly delicately balanced upon its beak, invites you to engage in the enchanting and exquisite dance of life.
While it’s most magical to see a Sandhill Crane flying high above, they spend most of their time on the ground. Sandhill Crane asks whether you are lost too much in thought and need to spend some time grounded. It reminds you that balance is required in order to move through your days with grace, focus, and clarity.
As a mother, Sandhill Crane is quite protective of her young; however, she only rears them for their first year of life, after which they are left to thrive on their own.
If you find yourself feeling uncertain or rattled about your future, it’s time to partake of Sandhill Crane’s medicine and nurture the part of you unsure about stepping out into the world on your own.
