| 1 Eagle Spirit - Contrary |
Fly high,
Touch Great Spirit.
Share your medicine,
Touch me, honour me,
So that I may know you too.
Contrary:
If you have pulled Eagle in the reverse, you have forgotten your power and connectedness to the Great Spirit. You may have failed to recognize the light that is always available for those who seek illumination. Heal your broken wings with love. Loving yourself as you are loved by the Great Spirit is the lesson which the contrary Eagle brings.
On some level, Eagle is telling you to seek higher ground on which to build your nest. The nest is the home of the heart and cannot remain in a swamp. If your nest is in a swamp, this may be connected to your belief that your wings are clipped by an impossibility in your present status.
Eagle's nest is high in the mountains, where the air is clean and the movement free. It may be your time for a Vision Quest so that you can commune with the Great Spirit. Fasting and praying will surely bring an answer. Seek lofty ideals, and illumination will be close at hand.
Overview:
Eagle helps you to see beyond the mundane levels of visible existence, for Eagle as a power animal is your connection with your soul Self - your High Self. Eagle can help you to reach for the sky while still keeping your feet firmly on the ground, and thus combine lofty ideals with practical reality. Eagle can show you that principles and
actions are equally expressions of the spirit.
In American Indian cosmology the eagle "flies closest to the sun," meaning the illuminating light of the Great Spirit.
Therefore, Eagle as a power animal brings enlightenment, which is a sudden flash of illumination of seeing into spiritual truth which hitherto were obscured of unknown. Fly like an Eagle. Connect with spirit. Feel the freedom found in Oneness. Let your spirit soar.
