Eagle In the Native American tradition, Eagle is the most sacred of birds: it is the one that flies the highest, in order to reach Grandfather Sun, Great Spirit. Eagle feathers also hold potency, and are given in honor of acts of courage. They are sacred tools used for blessings, prayers, and cleansing the aura. However some Eagles are now declining species and are protected: except for certain tribal people, therefore, it is illegal to own Eagle feathers.
Native people have always found profound teaching in the creatures that surround them, and medicine people can communicate with the spirits of the creatures who help them in many ways. Because of its strength and ability to soar, plus its acute vision, Eagle is connected with the Creator, Great Spirit. Eagle medicine lifts us into the realm of spirit, brings us illumination, insight, and clear vision concerning our life and the path ahead-visible from those heights.
Eagle vision can see the truth of our own heart, and can also see into the hearts of others. Eagle helps us to look clearly at our own shadow and brings insight, guiding us to make changes or find healing.
The great strength and fearlessness of Eagle brings courage to face life's challenges. Eagle rides the winds, reminding us that we, too, can spread our wings and find freedom. We can ride above narrow, restricting situations as soon as we find the courage to deal with them.
Eagle also brings freedon from any inhibiting ideas we may have about who we truly are. If we have only identified with our "larger self," is a being connected with light and all things.
