Animal Totems With The Eagle's Nest

Greetings H20, and Eagle's Nest Family,

ANIMAL TOTEMS with The Eagle’s nest on The H20 Network Oct 23, 2011

This week on The Eagle’s Nest, we spoke about our animal totems. These totems are so helpful in our lives and are guidelines and signs from Mother Nature. When we listen to nature we can learn information that can assist us in our life. We receive these messages through visions, dreams, meditations and their physical existence. The indigenous people of this land had learned to live not just in harmony but to grow and thrived together. We can learn everything about our animal totems such as how they mate, their life cycle and the attack and defense actions. There is so much to learn all we have to do is open ourselves up to the experience. During the show we spoke about the hummingbird, owl, wolf and eagle, but there are many, many more animals to discover.

Hummingbird

Hummingbirds represent tireless joy and the sweetness of life. I absolutely love hummingbirds!! Their beautiful color always brings a smile to my face. At my sunflower house, in the kitchen window I had a flowering plant and the hummingbird would flock there each morning. I remember waking up exhausted from work, a young child, school and life in general.  I would wake up to see the hummingbirds buzzing about full of happiness and joy. Hummingbirds come into your life at a time of high transition and change. If you have ever looked at a hummingbird they move almost effortlessly zipping along the way. They can change direction without any notice and can actually fly backwards. I try to make my motions just as easy and unassuming. As I am making a thousand and one moves I would love for my efforts to seem almost effortlessly. The overall message that hummingbirds carry is that you need to find joy in your life and that you can accomplish that which seems impossible. Lately everything in my life has seemed impossible but a positive path as always appeared. My hummingbird reminds me to find joy in all situations and that there is no impossible in my life.

Owl

The owl is one of my totems and has always been an important part of my spiritual development. The owl is the symbol of the feminine, the moon, and the night. The owl is associated with higher wisdom, clairvoyance and astral projection because of the eyes. An owl’s eyes can appear to see through any shields or lies that others tell. When this beautiful totem first appeared in my life I needed to more self reflection. I needed to spend more time seeing the truth about myself and my situation. When an owl suddenly shows up in your life you need to evaluate if your depth perception to see if you are looking at things correctly.

  
Eagle

Momma Khadijah shared with everyone the very powerful energy of Eagle medicine. The eagle has represented spirit, healing and creation for many cultures throughout time. Even our United States government uses this strong, proud bird as a symbol for the spirit of this land. Eagles represent such a high level of spirituality, creativity and strength that the MothaEagle Ministries program was created around. Eagle medicine is used at all of the MothaEagle events for the healing attributes and the strength needed to accomplish what we are charged to do. Momma Khadijah shared many stories of all the stunning examples of eagle medicine and animal totems that she has experienced in her spiritual journey.

Wolf

Chief Efuntola shared her touching story about her experience with her totem, a white wolf. This wolf has an ancestral connection with her and her family lineage. It is a beautiful connection between the long standing relationship her spiritual family and the animal kingdom have experienced over generations. Chief shared with us the dual relationship this animal totem has had with her since birth and the protector role he has maintained in her life.

This was a must listen to show with lots and lots of information to share. I encourage everyone to look around them, do you a number of horse statues around you? Or is it a bear? I knew a sister that owned rabbits in every form you could have a rabbit. The rabbits where ceramic figurines, wood craving, crystal pieces, paintings, jewelry, everything. I remember saying to her “do you like rabbits?” She replied “oh they are ok”. I looked around there had to be at least 20 rabbits in the very room we were sitting in! “Just ok?” When I showed her how many rabbits where in the room she began to think a little more about it. When we started to research rabbit energy it became very clear as to why she was drawn to the rabbit. Start to observe in your life, you may be surprised.
