Eagle Medicine

Eagle medicine is the connection to the Great Spirit. Eagle soars high above the land and thus is closer to the heavens that man can be. Send your prayers to Eagle, and he will rise above the chaos to meet Great Spirit and return, with a vision for you.

You too must take flight. It is time for you to soar to great heights. You must have a willingness to face the extremes, to push yourself to your limits. Through facing these challenges you will undergo a great spiritual initiation and reach a new zenith of your self growth. It is time to go beyond your dreams.

If eagle has come into your life it is a reminder that it is time to reconnect with the universe and your reasons for being here. What is your path and how are you contributing to the Greater Good? If you are not clear, connect with the eagle, ask him to aid your contact with the Great Spirit. He will bring you answers and then, like eagle, set your eyes on the target and take flight.

In your spiritual pursuits, you must still remember to stay grounded and connected to the Earth. Eagle's strong talons ensures he has a strong grasp wherever he lands. You too must not get lost up in your head with your spiritual pursuits.

Panda Medicine

The panda teaches gentle strength. Although they have the power to attack a human, they rarely do unless they are provoked. You can be strong without flaunting or proving your abilities to the world. If a panda has presented itself before you, now is the time to combine your gentleness with strength. Focus on the project with your full attention to avoid problems.

If the panda is bringing you a message about a particular event then know that the early stages will be difficult. When a panda cub is first born it is only three to four ounces, making it's mother nearly a thousand times larger. Initially the mother must help the newborn eat, stay warm and defecate. Life is not easy for a panda in the beginning. This message reflects the beginning of an event or task you have ahead of you. Know though that you can prevail. The panda, although often birthing twins will reject one, leaving it to die. The ability to focus will help you in this event. You too must focus on one path and not get distracted by another less important one.

For those whom panda is a totem, so too is bamboo. Like the panda, bamboo resembles strength but is extremely flexible. It is valued in many Asian countries where it is used for all sorts of things, from being a delicacy to scaffolding. Strength does not have to mean stubbornness. Show flexibility while not breaking from your core principles.

Wolf Medicine

Wolf now calls the wilderness and remote areas his home, but this was not always the case. His once vast footprints stretched from through Asia, Africa, Europe and North America. Covering such an immense territory it is no wonder Wolf has been part of so many myths and stories around the world.

Although wolf lives in a pack, it is not uncommon for him to leave to hunt solo. In this time he can cover great distances looking for food. This gives wolf the power of the pathfinder. He has the stamina to go the distance and listen to his inner voice and follow his own person truth. Wolf teaches you to do the same.

Although confident alone, wolf is also a highly sociable animal. Wolf will howl to reassemble the pack and to advise others where he is and when he has found food. I still vividly remember being stopped in my tracks one chilly winter evening as I heard a pack of Arctic wolves howling for each other. The evocatively haunting sound seemed to resonate with my inner being. It felt like wolf was not only calling to his pack but calling to everyone who would listen. I sensed that wolf had wisdom to share with us all. Are you ready to hear wolf’s call?

Let the spirit of wolf resonate with you. Trust your inner teacher to guide you on your path when you are alone, just as wolf does. However he also knows when there is strength in numbers. Be open to the teachers that come into your life. Listen to other peoples words, analyse situations, embrace challenges and see what they are trying to teach you.

Giraffe Medicine

I had the chance to feed one of the giraffe's at Perth Zoo

Rolling savannas, open grasslands and vast woodlands in Africa are home to the world’s tallest animal, graceful Giraffe. Her long and supportive legs allow her slender, elongated neck to access the highest twigs and leaves. She is assured a plentiful diet since she can feast on foliage higher than available to the rest of the ground dwelling animals.

Giraffe’s most notable features are her brown and camel spotted coat and her elongated neck. Her coat ensures she can hide despite her colossal size; however her neck is her most important feature. Her graceful neck allows her to view the plains from a prime vantage point. No other animal can sneak up on Giraffe for she will long have seen them coming and be prepared. For Giraffe there are no surprises. Her prowess in the bush ensures she is currently assessed as “least concern” overall from a conservation perspective*. However, we must note the West African and Rothschild subspecies are “endangered”.

Giraffe wishes to teach you to use your abilities to look ahead so that you may plan and be prepared. Physically, you should ensure you are paying attention to that which is beyond your own nose – see the bigger picture. Who have I affected today? What outcome do my actions have on others? Spiritually, tune into your innate intuition and envisage your future. Am I happy, fulfilled and prepared for tomorrow? The next five years? What will allow me to manifest my ideal future?
Tuning into the energies of Giraffe will allow you to sense what is coming and what is over the horizon. For only when you have surveyed your life, contemplated your actions and planned for your future then you can “stick out your neck” and take calculated risks.

Remember, the only time Giraffe is at risk is when lowering her head to drink. Let us learn not to lose sight of the bigger picture, for both ourselves and the greater good. Losing vision and connection to Great Spirit opens you up to the possibility of becoming vulnerable to failure or attack.

If a giraffe has appeared to you recently, it may be trying to pass on a message related to the above information. It may appear in reality, dreams, pictures, conversations or any other form.
