Using your imagination, see in your minds eye your Golden Eagle flying towards the Medicine Wheel. How does your Golden Eagle look? Is your Golden Eagle healthy and happy, or do you see an upset, scruffy looking bird? Ask the Golden Eagle in your mind: How are you? How are you feeling? Listen and feel the response. Ask the Golden Eagle to enter the Medicine Wheel, so that the Golden Eagle stands in front of you to accept hands on healing, colour therapy, love and whatever else they need to feel happy and healthy. You will become more intuitive as to what they need as you learn more about caring for your Power Animals.

When the Golden Eagle is healthy and happy they will bring to the Medicine Wheel their love, wisdom and healing.

The Sacred Space

Creator at the Centre

When you are ready, stand in the Center, call to the spirit of Creator (God, Great Mystery, Great spirit, Nature, the Universe...). This is the connection point to all of creation. The Creator Power Animal is different for everyone and not necessarily one of the 36 Power Animals from the Native American Medicine Wheel. The animal represents you and how you feel about Great Spirit, which is in everything. It's very interesting to see which animal turns up, wait and see what type of animal turns up. Using your imagination, see in your minds eye your Creator Power Animal coming to the Medicine Wheel. How do they look? Is the Creator Power Animal smiling and happy, big, small, thin or fat? Is it one that flies (Condor, Bat, Butterfly, Robin...), or one that swims (Rainbow Trout, Shark, Penguin, Walrus...), or one of the four legged (Horse, Stag, Jaguar, Lynx...) or one of the six or more legged (Spider, Beetle, Crab, Octopus...) or one that crawl (Snake, Earth Worm, Snail...)? Is the animal pleased to see you or moody and unhappy? Ask the Creator Power Animal in your mind: How are you? How are you feeling? Listen and feel the response. Ask The Creator Power Animal to enter the Medicine Wheel to accept healing, love and whatever they need to feel happy and healthy.

The Creator Power Animal represents your Connection to self, your inner spirit, your connection to all that exists. Ask to be connected to Great Spirit. Honour and give thanks for your life, your family and friends. To make you a 'Great Spirit' so you can help yourself and others find happiness.
