OSTRICH

Becoming Grounded

Ostrich helps you take ethereal knowledge
and apply it to everyday, practical life.  However, make sure that you take
the time to digest this knowledge
thoroughly before using it. 

Ostrich can help you link to the spirit realm
 without getting lost in it. 
Meditating on its large, well-planted feet
will help you ground yourself to the Earth;
especially if you feel that you are
becoming a little flaky or flighty.
