Spiritual Meaning of Seeing a Red-Headed Woodpecker

Today I will talk about the spiritual meaning of seeing a red-headed woodpecker.

My niece the other day was excited to share with me what she learned in school. In particular, she was sharing with me how great a woodpecker is.

 “Woodpeckers are abundant in Southeast Asia and South America,” she said. My niece added that what makes woodpeckers special is the fact they mostly spend their lives on trees. 

Unlike other birds that fly or migrate, woodpeckers spiral up in the trunks eating insects.

“Do you have a favorite?” I asked her. She said she liked how a red-headed woodpecker looked in the picture and wished that she could see it in person. 

I can’t help but smile when I remember this conversation now. I can’t brush off my little niece’s enthusiasm about a red-headed woodpecker and thought I might as well reflect on this and use this bird as an inspiration for this post.

Red-Headed Woodpecker Spiritual Meaning

A.red-headed woodpecker has a deep spiritual meaning, that is a strong reminder to focus on the present.

Sadly, too many people spend so much time worrying about the future or thinking about the past. 

The red-headed woodpecker is a reminder from the universe to focus on what you have now.

You can heed this message by:

• Refusing to spend many hours analyzing the past and berating yourself for your past decisions or actions.
• Focusing on the tasks in front of you, and setting aside some time to worry about tomorrow and the next few days and weeks.
• Keep the good people in your present circles rather than chasing those who were part of your past and are not inclined to keep close relationships with you now.
• Praying about the future to the heavens so you can focus on what you have rather than spend too much time imagining what will happen to you or your life in the next few years.
