This week I was reminded of what it was like to view the world from a hawk’s eye view. every morning this week there was a hawk that waited outside my home and twice in the morning and twice in the afternoon he flew with me and my daughters as we walked up the street to the bus stop. He sat in a tree across from us and watched us as we waited for the bus. And once my daughters were on the bus he flew back down the street with me. I’ve always had a fascination with the Hawks as they started to show up when my grandmother passed away when I was 15. There always seems to be a hawk when we have a family reunion, a few years back I was in a not so healthy relationship and six families of hawks took up residence in my backyard for two years. it was loud and overwhelming but I didn’t want to recognize the real reasons that they were there. I didn’t really come to realize until just this week what the hawks really mean in my life.
You may be asking what is a hawk to do with parenting? and as it turns out plenty. We have a one hawk spotting a day rule in my family. Thia rule was placed on me by my children a few years back when hawks just seem to be showing up out of nowhere. In the most random places in the most interesting times. I looked up what Hawk energy means before and never really found much on it. But this week since the hawk was guiding me up and down the street with my children I figured I’d give it another look and see. and here’s what I found.
“Hawks are visionaries and messengers. As a totem they help to open the higher chakras so that we may hear and see the visions and messages that Spirit and the Universe are always sending our way. There is never a moment when the Universe is not trying to get a message through to us but we are so often too busy or unaware of what it is we need to be watching for! Hawk helps us to not only be aware that we are receiving a message but how to interpret them. The realm of symbols is also the realm of Hawk for Hawk is able to soar high above the earth to soar on the breath of Spirit, to commune with Spirit and thus understand through the intuitive level what the message means and with their keen eyesight, how to implement it once they return to earth through seeing the broader picture below.
Many of the messages Hawk may bring are about freeing yourself of thoughts and beliefs that are limiting your ability to soar above your life and gain a greater perspective. If one remains earthbound, then the possibilities of life are limited! It is this ability to soar high above to catch a glimpse of the bigger picture that is one of the aspects of Hawk medicine that makes it so valuable: If one is undergoing a difficult passage to know that just over the next hill is freedom and liberation if one keeps going can be a Godsend in supporting the person to keep moving forward! Likewise, if the path is not appropriate, Hawk Medicine can alert one to this and point out a far more favorable path.
Hawk medicine unites Heaven and Earth. Because of their ability to soar, they are able to reach up to the heavens to extract needed information and bring it back to earth. Much of this information is also very practical for use on a daily basis! It is not only higher concepts or ideas that are relayed, but also information we need to make our material or mundane lives more prosperous and fulfilling. For those who have difficulty attracting financial well being due to false or negative beliefs about money and success, Hawk can help to understand the true spiritual intent and purpose behind money and guide one in establishing new beliefs that are more joyful and abundant in nature.
Hawk can alert us to those times when we should NOT take action because we do not yet have all the information we need. For example, someone is thinking of about becoming involved in a relationship, personal or business, yet they get the feeling that something is “not quite right”. This needs to be heeded and Hawk sent forth to gather the appropriate information to help the person make the best choice. Sometimes the person finds that Hawk was telling them to steer clear for very good reasons.
One of the greatest gifts a Hawk medicine person can give the world is their visions of a better and brighter future. Visionaries are always ahead of their time and it’s not easy seeing what others are not ready to see. Often these people are not honored and recognized for their work and efforts until long after they have crossed over. And yet their work lives on to touch and enrich the lives of people the world over! Honor the Hawk people you meet in your life. Encourage them to soar so they may bring their visions and messages back to earth that all may benefit. If you are a Hawk person yourself, understand that Spirit can you an especial task to hold the energy of what could be, of potentials that are waiting to be envisioned and thus expressed through the mass consciousness. Seek out other Hawk people who can support you in your life and never allow others to cause you to lose sight of what is really important to you! Trust in the messages that Spirit entrusts to your special care and know that the expression of your visions will bring blessings not only to you, but also to all others!”
As a parent and a co-parenting coach I was awe in reading about the Hawks and even more importantly the Hawk medicine person. I often times find myself in thoughts and in feeling energy for others that I’m soaring above that I can see things in know things for their life and the direction they should be going, before they can see it. Sometimes this is the news that hangs around my neck and often times in my coaching is a gift that the aides and offering a light to the path that sets them free. for the first time in a long time I can see that this ability I have which oftentimes feels like a burden if used properly is a gift. If you’re reading this and you can relate you probably find the same comfort that I found which is I’m not alone. opportunity as parents to not only teach our children how to connect with God, the universe or whatever your spiritual belief is and what I have found since I’ve been apparent for the last 11 years and been working with children is that they often times in so many meaningful and deep ways teach us how to view our lives from the hawks eye view.
As a parent, often times we see things from a Hawk’s eye view. we have either learned a lesson from experience, or we can see things that are dangerous, harmful, or not the right direction for our children and so we want to guide them in the right direction. Sometimes his parents we think we see it from a hawk’s eye view and try to force our children to do it our way of course if we think about that and we know in our hearts that really isn’t a hawks eye view and more a desire to control.
This week I’ve been working very diligently on a new project of licensing instructors to teach my conscious coparenting course. There have been delays technical difficulties getting the website set up and anything and everything you can imagine. I believe that the hawk showed up this week to let me know I was on the right path. This particular hawk I believe was a spirit guide opening my heart chakra allowing me to soar above my work and really understand that their teachings of the conscious co-parenting Institute is coming out into the world in a really big way. The men and women who have already signed up for the licensing program or extraordinary human beings ready to take the co-parenting principles and skills and easy to implement techniques out into their communities with pride, passion, and purpose.
As as I soar above looking at my life from a hawks eye view. I am nervous, excited, at times overwhelms, but I feel very focused, purposeful, and driven. I am grateful for the Hawks in my life and for the spirit guides for whom they represent. I am grateful that the hot sub in my life during times of turmoil and strife, and in times where my purpose and passion are on the forefront in their presence is a continued reminder of the driving force and desire to bring positive change in the world. for hot start daily reminder for me to keep moving, moving, and moving in the direction of creating positive change for divorced families globally.
There were some delays with getting my licensing program launched and I was beginning to get frustrated but now I know that there were some things I still needed before it could take off. I am watching the licensing program next week for a couple of days and the following week for a couple of days. If you’re interested in learning more feel free to contact me at 888 – 379 -7279.
Thank you to those of you who have already signed up who feel driven by the same purpose and passion as myself. I’m excited to teach you and to guide you into your purpose and passion driven life.
Create a great day!
