Spiritual Meaning Of Seeing A Golden Eagle:
It is about solitude
“In quietness and trust is your strength.” – Isaiah 30:15
Many of you may not know, the golden eagle passes most part of its life as a solitary bird (outside of the pair bonding during nesting).
Unlike other birds that fly in groups, the golden eagle flies solo through the skies with a regal sense of confidence.
The eagle’s way of life is a profound one.
The golden eagle has taught me to be okay alone and reflecting on my actions in a spiritual way.
On my own personal journey, solitude is now a holy ground.
It has become this private retreat I step into to meet myself.
In all of the spiritual work that I have done over these years, it has been so evident once again how much people resist being alone because they equate solitude with loneliness.
But the golden eagle shows me how I can thrive in solitude.
When I am by myself, my inner voice becomes louder and more definitive as it directs me down paths that could go unnoticed in the noise.
The golden eagle, with his flight soaring from here; entices me to meet my solitude, to seek comfort in stillness and claim my might alone.
Perspective
“Where there is no vision, the people perish.” – Proverbs 29:18
The golden eagle sees what most do not, its prey from up to two miles away.
I personally like to see this on more of a spiritual level.
Whenever I look at the world through eagle vision, it gives up on trivialities and short-termism.
I realize how quickly I can become mired in the details of my life and completely lose track that there might be a bigger meaning.
What the golden eagle helps me to transcend.
It adds clarity, stops me from responding too quickly to small matters by adopting the eagle visionary perspective.
I strive to “fly” like the eagle, higher and with an intentional purpose on how I will navigate through my life.
It is about earthly limitations
“They shall mount up with wings like eagles.” – Isaiah 40:31
The golden eagle is a sign of transcendence.
It is a sign that I’m always able to be higher than my earthly limitations.
When I see the eagle flying up above, the world seems to be at its feet and it floats in a realm without limits.
In a number of ways, the golden eagle is an intermediary between Heaven and Earth.
The eagle flying so high, looking down upon miles and miles of land shows me that I also can be above limitations.
There are limitations everywhere in life: fears, doubts, money…
You get it but these only have any power over us, in the material world.
I attune myself to my divine nature and enter the space of infinite potential when nobody but me has any say.
Then all earthly limitations die.
I have come to learn that the way in which I overcome these boundaries, is knowing that all my self-worthiness does not lie within what goes on externally.
I am a spiritual being — that honours my source of origin before everything else.
The eagle’s flight shows me that I can walk on the earth, but not crawl here.
I can move beyond my challenges and find that higher place-the spiritual energies of the universe.
Patience
“The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance.” – Proverbs 21:5
The golden eagle does not hunt its prey like other predators that are fast.
Patience is a huge aspect of it,. In my spiritual path i have discovered that patience is something I also require.
Patience gives room to growth. Everything is in divine timing.
The golden eagle does not move in a hurry.
When I push or rush, it messes up the natural flow of life.
I have to trust in the timing of life a little more and allow things come as they should.
It is about guardianship
“He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you will find refuge.” – Psalm 91:4
As we know from history, the eagle has been like a spiritual protector.
The golden eagle has been looked upon by many ancient cultures as a messenger from the gods, keeping an eye out for humanity.
I also meditate upon the eagle, which to me represents spiritual guardianship.
The eagle reassures me to know that this shield is there for when I am feeling particularly unsure.
I call in this energy which acts as my support and protection, just like the eagle holds his territory.
Determination
“Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you.” – Proverbs 4:25
The focus and determination of the eagnle have always been a source of inspiration to me.
It never looks away, once it targets on something.
This way of showing up is a spiritual teaching to commit and stick unrelentingly to my path without being pulled off by distractions.
In so much noise and distraction, it can be challenging to see the forest through the trees.
But then I envision the eagle`s eyes & how it sits back to consume faith, I remember that my focus should be on things of purpose: God interest, soul searcher or goals in life.
If I am keeping focus on what is true about myself and God then nothing can hold from me from my purpouse.
It is about freedom
“For freedom Christ has set us free.” – Galatians 5:1
The eagle is a symbol of freedom at its best. The bird has the ability to get above earthly limitations.
Real freedom is about breaking free of any limitation and doing so can start with anything.
I discovered that freedom, to be grounded and connected in my body — could only come after getting aware of who I am.
When I see the eagle, I realize that freedom really means LOOSING my mind and emotions from bondage.
That is when I feel like the eagle, flying high above and free from everything that use to hold me down.
It is about the winds of change
“To everything, there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.” – Ecclesiastes 3:1
One of my mentors has said that the golden eagle is known for its power and grace which it uses effortlessly to fly.
It doesn’t fight the wind, but uses it as a way to glide higher.
I am learning to let my spiritual roots hold steady against the mighty winds of change.
This is enabling me not only survive, but thrive through life transitions.
When I release my resistance to change and instead flow with it, life takes me beyond where I could have ever imagined.
Wisdom
“Ask the former generation and find out what their ancestors learned.” – Job 8:8
The golden eagle is n seen as a symbol of ancestral wisdom.
It represents the past, and with it all its knowledge.
I think about how an eagle flies high above to see a lot of the land his ancestors once saw.
And in my spiritual practice, I try to connect with this ancestral wisdom and gather the information that has been passed down generations.
The eagle tells me I am supported by ancient wisdom.
And by connecting with this power, I feel understood on my way.
