Eagle helps you to see beyond the mundane levels of visible existence, for Eagle as a power animal is your connection with your soul Self – your Higher Self.
In American Indian cosmology the eagle “flies closest to the sun,” meaning the illuminating light of the Great Spirit. Therefore, Eagle as a power animal brings enlightenment, which is a sudden flash of illumination of seeing into spiritual truth which hitherto were obscured of unknown.
