Peacock Presence

Peacocks are deeply mysterious and prized in mystic spirituality and the heart. Their feathers are able to carry heart and other forms of spiritual energy. For this reason, many ancient and modern spiritual teachers make a wand of peacock feathers and touch others with their blessing as the fabric of these feathers have the ability to carry spiritual energy.

The eyes of the feathers represent the spiritual eye and heart. They represent what is deep inside us all: ever new bliss, peace and love within these centers of meditation.

The peacock is the symbol of Saraswati the goddess of wisdom, creativity, humanities, science of all kinds, education, architecture, speech, articulation and all related subjects. ---and is thus considered deeply sacred.

However, many would not agree when they wake up to the sound of a peacock in the morning! However, even that shrill wake up sound symbolizes that our creativity needs to awaken from its slumber inside us.

Saraswati's energy is located at the tip of the tongue, known as the "Vak Nadhi" and subtly descends down the center of the spine to the fifth (throat) second chakra, the seat of creativity. The speech centers of the brain as well as some of the cranial nerves are subtly connected to the tongue and second chakra.

Supremely fortunate are those who awaken these centers. When one does one accesses unlimited creativity and ability to fully express one's personal power.

Those who are blocked have trouble and difficulties expressing who they are, and are stifled by not knowing their inner power. They suffer from severe Self esteem issues.

The peacock is the subtle symbol of this energy of Saraswati that ascends and descends through our bodies.

Its blue and green iridescent colors symbolize the colors experienced within the throat chakra and the heart in deep meditation---which are vehicles of expression of all aspects of creativity and our own inner power.
