The Aerial View I often have the pleasure of watching hawks soaring in the sky, seeming to circle endlessly as their keen eyes search the earth below for prey. Like the earthbound predators, the big cats, a hawk is patient, and as a cat's slow, careful stalking seems almost a moving meditation, so the hawk's circling is an aerial dance.
Similar relationships exist between tiger's eye and hawk's eye.
Such a perspective is especially valuable when we feel as if we are thoroughly entangled in problems, choices, or a generally confused situation. When we can detach ourselves from the emotional turmoil which envelops our situations we are able to discover solutions. Imagine yourself flying higher and higher until the events of your life are far below. Now call upon another meaning of hawk's eye, that which is related to the symbolism of the hawk as the messenger of the gods. Ask for insight and a deepening of your aerial perspective.
