From Laura Bowen’s “Dreamtime Reading Cards”
Eagle encourages you to look at situations from a higher perspective. It is hard to see all sides of a situation when you are in the middle of it…it is helpful to stand back and view the situation from a different perspective – looking at where you have come from and where you are headed, rather than just looking at what is happening in the present moment…
…The eagle’s strength and ability to focus in on things allows it to take charge of situations and soar above those who try to inhabit or control it. This is a time when you need to rise above the situation you find yourself in, look to the past and to the future you wish to create – and just really observe what is happening around you for awhile.
You may gain a new perspective with your Eagle-eye view. Seeing the whole forest instead of the tree or obstacle in front of you makes it easier to plan your choices in the future – and it also helps you to realise that the problem in front of you is small compared to the entire view of things.
When you are flying high in the air, your house, your problems, your life diminish into the distance as you see – other houses, and realise that others are enmeshed in their problems and their lives much as you are.
Letting Eagle lift you up to a place of clarity is a great gift.
