Eagle
The keeper of clear heights
Nature of the eagle
The eagle lives in the vastness of the sky. It circles high above the land and sees what lies hidden below: paths, connections, patterns. In many indigenous cultures it carries people's prayers to the Great Spirit. It is the messenger between heaven and earth – clear, upright, incorruptible.
Inner attitude
The eagle is in no hurry. It lets itself be carried by the thermals instead of fighting the wind. Only when it sees clearly does it set off to fly – but then completely. Its attitude is collected attention.
The essential qualities
- far-sighted
- truthful
- courageous
- collected
- free
It does not let itself be distracted by trifles.
Meaning
The eagle appears when you are too close to something to understand it. It invites you to rise up and look at the whole. From above it becomes clear what really matters – and what you may let go of.
Voice of the being
«Rise up. Breathe. See the whole – and then walk your path with a clear gaze.»
Encounter & working together
You meet the eagle under the open sky: at a high place, in the wind, with a wide view. Close your eyes and imagine you are soaring above your life. What do you see from there?
Pay attention to
- where you lose yourself in details
- where you don't want to see the truth
- where a step back would give you clarity
The eagle works when you are ready to widen your view.
Essence
From the vastness I see what is essential.
