Hawk Medicine

The Power Of Perspective

Hawks have the power to soar high above the earth, giving them a

perspective previously only available to the inhabitants of the heavens above.

Because of this, people from various cultures throughout history have seen them

as messengers of spirit, bringing wisdom from the heavens and the value of their

higher vision down to earth. From their vantage point, riding on the wind and

sunlight, they remind us today that there is a bigger picture to be seen. When

we get bogged down with the details of what is right in front of us, hawks help

us remember that we are part of a larger plan and that everything fits together

beautifully and perfectly. Once in this expanded frame of mind, we can harness

their reputation as visionaries, using their keen eyesight to focus on the exact

spot that truly needs our attention. With inspiration and focus on our goal,

hawks teach us how to interpret and then follow our personal vision.

Hawks were thought to be able to look directly into the sun and see what

is not visible to the rest of us. Using our spiritual vision, we too can look

deeply into the inner light that guides us, seeing clearly what is not visible

unless sought: our personal truth glowing within us. With that knowledge, we,

like the hawk, can confidently ride the winds of chance, moving as one with the

flow of whirling energy. This ability is what inspired the Egyptians to make

hawks the hieroglyphic symbol for the wind.

The hawk's ability to live on land but visit the sky is a good reminder

for us all. They remind us that their strength and survival comes from communing

regularly with the spirit and bringing the guidance received into earthly

affairs. Soaring in the province of the heavenly bodies of the sun, the stars,

and the wind that moves the clouds reminds us to consider a larger perspective,

one that inspires us to move through the world we inhabit with strength,

certainty, and grace.
