Daily Angel Oracle Card, from the Earth Magic Oracle Card deck by Stephen D Farmer: Eagle ~ Communion

Eagle ~ Communion: “Here the man and the eagle make contact through their eyes and spirits. The man has performed a ceremonial calling to Eagle Brother, who now comes to him as a familiar friend. It is an intimate relationship between human being and feathered being, one of both spirit and flesh. Yet it is ultimately this deep spiritual kinship that connects them, formed from their recognition of the sacredness of this bond.

Eagle Spirit is often associated with highest and noblest, encouraging us to let our spirits soar. Through this communion, we know that we can touch the sky. We know that we can be more than just two-legged creatures clinging to the ground. We are intimately related to all of Live on the planet, and it is through communing with any expression of Life that we realize how vitally connected we all are.

Whenever you experience a heartfelt communion with some physical expression of Life – plant, animal, human, or anything else – it is only then that you can truly feel how your life force is similar to the life force that is all around you. It is only a matter of the differences in form. An essence is articulated into the physical world in a multitude of ways that is the same in everything and everyone, although it manifests in various shapes and characteristics. This essence is Spirit emanating from the core of all things.

Communion with Nature is essential for you now. Take some time to do an open-eyed meditation with any nearby animal or plant.

Relax your body as much as possible, breathe, consciously, and keep your attention of the life form you are communing with. After a few moments, you will notice a sense of the boundaries dissolving, a melding of the “I” and “Thou.” You may even receive messages or impressions as you find yourself in the flow of unspoken communication.”*

We have such a profound and powerfully spiritual connection with our Earth Mother, Gaia, and all her amazing and beautiful creatures, plants and minerals. Taking time to connect with these beings is a healing and deeply spiritual experience that should hold priority in our everyday lives, yet unfortunately, it is often one of the first things to go when our busy schedules don’t allow for relaxing in nature.

For me, getting our sweet little family dog was a catalyst to spending some much needed time outside daily; rain or shine, forest, park, beach, lake or garden. Every walk is a gift, every bird, every mossy rock and every glorious tree is appreciated. I get to see the sun shine, amazing cloud formations, rainbows after a storm, wind whipping through the tree tops, mists over the lake and at night, spectacular constellations amongst various phases of the moon. I feel so blessed and consciously take the time to send my gratitude to the Divine!

Often during these daily walks I will feel as if I am in meditation, and in reading this card, I now see and understand the connection between meditation and communion. It’s reaching a new level of consciousness through the spiritual connection we have with everything in our Universe. Make some time for yourself to go and connect. Plant yourself in the now; see, feel and hear the beauty all around you and know that you are an integral part of it all, and you too are blessed.
