FROM A CHICKEN TO AN EAGLE
Are you living your life as a chicken or an eagle? This is a good question to ask yourself. I want to tell you a story to help you understand why it's important to go deep inside and ask yourself this question.
There's a book written by Jerry Fankhauser called “From A Chicken To An Eagle.” It's a story about a naturalist who was passing by a farm and inquired of the owner why it was that an eagle, the king of all birds, should be confined to live in the barnyard with the chickens.
The owner said he'd been feeding it chicken feed and trained it to be a chicken, and it never learned to fly. It behaves as chickens behave, so it is no longer an eagle.
The naturalist insisted that it has the heart of an eagle and can surely be taught to fly. Both men agreed to find out whether this was possible. So, the naturalist took the eagle in his arms and said, “You belong to the sky, stretch forth your wings and fly.”
The eagle however was confused; he did not know who he was. Seeing the chickens eating their food, he jumped down to be with them again.
The naturalist took the eagle, on the following day, up on the roof of the house and urged him again, saying, “You are an eagle, stretch forth your wings and fly.” But the eagle was afraid of his unknown self and the world and jumped down once more for the chicken food.
On the third day the naturalist rose early and took the eagle out of the barnyard to a high mountain. There he held the king of birds high above him and encouraged him again, saying, “You are an eagle, stretch forth your wings now and fly.”
The eagle looked back towards the barnyard and up to the sky. Still he did not fly. Then the naturalist lifted him straight towards the sun, and it happened that the eagle began to tremble; slowly he stretched his wings. At last, with a triumphant cry he soared the sky.
This is a story about accepting a perception about ourselves that is false. That we really are an eagle with the potential to soar. But, we find ourselves in the chicken yard feeling safe and fearful, and with no sense of life, purpose or direction.
The chicken philosophy tells us we have a hidden closet inside ourselves, and if someone sees who and what we really are they will run away.
From the accumulation of painful experiences of being stuck and feeling hopeless, we can make a conscious choice to see ourselves through a different lens.
As the eagle begins to unfold inside of us, we may remember the chicken yard with nostalgia and find ourselves revisiting it many times as we continue to correct our perceptions. But we now know that we will not continue to lead the life of a chicken, because we have seen and experienced ourselves as who we really are...an Eagle!
If you are living your life as a chicken, groveling for food, health, prosperity, and love perhaps you have blocks, vows, agreements, beliefs about yourself you have accepted, that is blocking you from living your life as an eagle.
These beliefs and blocks can easily be shifted, cleared, resolved and healed, therefore clearing your path to living and being who you really are...an Eagle!
If you desire to soar as an eagle, you would benefit from a healing session. I am always here to help.
