Spirit Animal - Eagle

When an eagle appears, you are on notice to be courageous and stretch your limits. Do not accept the status quo, but rather reach higher and become more than you believe you are capable of. Look at things from a new, higher perspective. Be patient with the present; know that the future holds possibilities that you may not yet be able to see. You are about to take flight.

Native Indians saw the Eagle as a symbol for great strength, leadership and vision., and the eagle has been used as a 'banner' by many of the great empires throughout history, from Babylon to Egypt, through to Rome and even the United States. In the ancient Aztec tradition, the chief god would tell his people to settle at a place where they find an eagle perched on a cactus eating a snake, and this place is now Mexico City. The God Zeus changed into the form of the eagle to assist himself to control thunder and lightning. The eagle was a strong emblem in the Roman Empire. It may not be coincidence that such different cultures across thousands of years have adopted the same symbol.
The eagle is said to be chief over all the winged creatures, and conveys the powers and messages of the spirit. The Eagle is man's connection to the divine because it flies higher than any other bird. The Eagle brings the message of renewed life because it is associated with the east winds - the direction of spring, dawn and rebirth.

If you are going through a hard time, eagle not only signals a new beginning, but provides you with the stamina and resilience to endure the difficulties. If eagle has appeared, it heralds that freedom and courage is there for you to look ahead. If you have the Eagle as a Spirit Animal, you are seen as visionaries, and those who are willing to push the limits of self-discovery and personal freedom.
When Eagle appears to you it means that you are being put on notice, as it will appear to push you to reach higher and become more than you think you are capable of.

The lesson that the Eagle can teach you is that you must have the courage to relinquish stale and comfortable habits and beliefs to soar into unknown realms and new realities - continually expanding your view. Now is the time to take full responsibility for your life and be prepared for instant destiny. As your spiritual awareness increases, the positive and negative ramifications will become more immediate and have greater force.

Ask for eagle help when:
  •  The details of day-to-day living have you feeling weighed down and you have lost sight of the larger perspective.
  • You are faced with a number of tough choices regarding work, relationships or life transitions.
  •  You feel you are expending way too much energy to get the job done.

Access eagle's power by…
  • Being patient. Know that this animal spirit guide does not come easily or immediately.
  • Each evening, recording a list of 10 things for which you are grateful that happened that day. Do this every night for at least 21 days.
  • Go to an area where you can observe all that is below - the top of a tall building, a hilltop - and take in as much as you can. Take several slow, deep breaths as you do.
