Its been a while since I have noticed the birds, but for the last two days I have seen a Jay. Its a western Jay so not as blue as the magnificent Blue Jays, but its definitely a Jay.

Is it time to set new goals? Keep them in your sight while you make small steps to completion.

Jay’s gifts include understanding how to use power wisely, warning, courage, ability to check on future trouble spots, power of presence (being in the eternal now), fearlessness, resourcefulness, adaptability.

Both the blue jay and the stellar jay are esteemed for stealing food off campers and also nesting materials form other birds – after these have laboriously gathered the necessary materials. This aside, jays have far more important qualities – they are bold and fearless and hold the power of presence.

When in the act of stealing, both the blue and stellar jay make a huge racket – in fact this always works in their favour because the louder they are, the more helter-skelter the situation seems. This energy distortion becomes the jays victory song.

Jay’s show us how to use personal power correctly and effectively, reminding us to pay attention and to not allow ourselves to be put in a situation where power is misused against us. If this is your power animal, bear this in mind.

The bright blue crest atop the blue jays head, connects it to the sky, reminding you true power must be applied in a balanced and honourable fashion. Jays are tremendously resourceful, which may symbolise a need inside of you to learn adaptability for survival with the as less effort possible.

The fearless jay’s are able to gang up and drive away hawks and owls – they know how to play the game of life and come out on top.

Jays symbolise huge talent, however, this talent must be developed and used correctly. If jay has flown into your life, this may be a signal that you are coming into a time where you can begin to help the inherent wisdom that lies within you (within us all!) to mature.

If Jay has flown into your life;

Jay teaches lessons of adaptation to any situations and learning quickly with a high intelligence. He gives access to memories long forgotten and shows how to assimilate them into awareness. He demonstrates risk taking, seizing opportunities and discovering new avenues for exploration. He will show the power of intelligenceand fortitude balanced with discreet silence and utmost patience in timing. Bold and inquisitive this bird has a penchant for investigating, adapting and learning new ideas and concepts. His creative intelligence uncovers sacred interconnections with all things. Mental growth aids spiritual growth. The energy centers of the head may become activated due to the increase of new spiritual knowledge.

If Jay is your Animal Totem;

You know when to stand tall and be seen and when to lay low and become invisible. You easily link with the spirit realm without getting lost in it. You rarely become flighty or nervous and easily stay grounded.

If Jay has flown to you in your Dreams;

To see a blue-jay in your dream indicates that you are over-confident and being too arrogant. Alternatively, a blue-jay may be trying to call attention to something which you have overlooked.

If it was a Steller’s Jay – pay attention to dream time as traveling, journeying and body sensations which will give new insights. Connect with Mother Earth. This type of bird also demonstrates that anything of value, spiritual growth and relationships takes work. It is daily activation of internal resources, let this creature show how it is done. Knowledge is collected so future wisdom comes to light. Is it time to set new goals? Envision it and pick the pieces into small ones to completion. He supports strong communication abilities often with sharp jabs. Exercise judgment, care, and diplomacy. The opposite may be true as well. Is it time to be forthright to finally “crack” the issue open? Steller’s Jay shows that a balanced diet is needed. The time period for this bird’s lessons starts manifesting within 17 days. His medicine culminates quickly 18 days later. In one month, emotional and spiritual maturity is noticeable and bonds are strengthened. Lessons now have a life span of nine years or more. This is very long-lasting transformative time.
