The Element of life
Air gives us the breath of life! It is the most important element necessary for life and the first thing we take in when we are born. The air in our breath grounds us and gives us focus and helps all things continue to grow.
\\ Eagle \\
The totem of sacred and powerful connection
The Eagle is a healing spirit. It is said that this bird spends its life flying high, both above and below the earth and so has a strong connection between heaven and earth. Because of this, it is known to be one of the most sacred and powerful totems.
The eagle has the obligation and a responsibility to integrate your mind, body and spirit and in times of change, rebirth, or renewal, the eagle helps guide us.
