Animal Totem Blend: Hawk
Hawks awaken our visionary power and guide us to our life purpose. It is the messenger bird, and wherever it shows up, pay attention—there is a message coming! Hawks have the keenest vision of all raptors and are masters of locating prey from both a still, as well as, soaring position. Keep this in mind as you pursue your goals—use your vision to zero in on exactly what you want and do not be afraid to change your perspective from soaring to stillness to examine situations. This bird represents a greater intensity of energy at play within your life. It reflects an intensity of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual forces. Hawk is the catalyst, stimulating hope and new ideas and guides you to be open to new endeavors as well as teach others to be open to the new!
