Meaningful Hawk

I noticed you do not have a page on hawk symbolism on your website, and I would like to know more about this beautiful and powerful creature. To me, the hawk symbolizes power. When i see the hawk, my heart races faster, so it makes me think of excitement and a passion for freedom.

I am unsure if it makes sense to identify human feelings to wild creatures, but when I meditate with the hawk, the impressions I feel from this bird are so real. It is hard for me to deny these experiences. I have also had dreams of this bird, and when i make a strict rule to write down these dreams of the hawk and really discipline myself to consider what the hawk in my life means, that is when this really clear impression of freedom, strength, power and expansiveness hits me. Have you had similar experiences?

Here is a bit I've written about potential Hawk Symbolism (it's on my blog), Avia.

hawk symbolism NEW
by: Asmara

I was sitting one cold January morning with four other women friends when a hawk perched on the fence about ten feet from the kitchen window. The hawk stayed there for over two hours facing the window where we were gathered drinking coffee and helping each other deal with life. We called a shaman friend of ours to find the meaning of the hawk, we were told the hawk symbolized feminine streingth, freedom from unnessesary clutter, and cleansing. I now see a hawk whenever I am facing a difficult day and am in need of the reminder of feminine streingth. It helps me draw on my inner streingth before facing any outward difficulties. I also see the hawk just before I am to meet a female friend and it always bolsters me to be ready to help them with their problems.

hawk symbolizes NEW
by: waymaker

The hawk symbolizes many things. Hawks are one of the most intriguing/mystical birds of prey. They are the messengers/visionaries of the air. Most hawks have an owl counterpart. The areas[environment] your personal hawk is found in. Can relate to the types of energy you are/will be working in, in your life. When a hawk shows up in your life, pay attention. There is a message coming. I personally have a developing relationship with the red tail hawk. It helps me express my phychism and vision. I use it to help develop astral plane, new flights. It is my tool to help working with my Kundalini and its energys. This is just some examples of my "hawk medicine". Hope it helps you some how.

Specific hawk NEW
by: Anonymous

During the hurricane I heard a hawk in what I thought was distress. I went out to look for him but he flew up to a tree
That night I injured my foot/ankle on my stairs ( no electricity)
It has been two days and the hawk is still outside within view all day making a somewhat moaning lonely sound When I first injured myself I prayed that it was not broken and realized just how Much of life I was not living. The next day I found out it was just a severe sprain. I am not sure if this is all related but I feel I should take this as a sign, just not sure of what

Hawkeye NEW
by: Jasmine H

Hi Avia,

Thank you for your website. I have no doubt the hawk is symbolic for me. It has become a regular occurence for me to see a hawk perched on a limb, a powerline or soaring through the air. More often than not their appearance seems as if its just for me. There are times when my spirit will encourage me to look in a certain direction and there it is swooping, gracefully in front of me. It happens as least once a week and sometimes in places where I wouldn't expect.

My question is, is its repeated appearance a sign that I'm not doing what its calling me to do or is it a bi-product of my fascination for nature, animals and all thats in between? As a side note, I'm a visual artist with a proclivity for landscapes and I tend to paint all my pictures from a bird's eye view. I'd love to share some with you.

My Daughter's Dream NEW
by: Holly Howard

My daughter had a dream she looked out the window and saw a hawk on the windowsill. She then looked up to the sky and saw that the sky was full of hawks so much so, that you could not see the color of the sky. What does this mean?

Hawk Happenings NEW
by: Avia

Hi Gieselle, I added the link to Hawk symbolism to your post so you and others can read it if you like. I love hawks, and have similar sensations you described when they soar above (and within). They symbolize acute (and intense) focus to me. When they come into my awareness, I know the time is optimal for focusing on something I'm after.

I take this a step further and meditate with the hawk -seeing a certain goal from an aerial view, and my consciousness circling around it as a hawk hones in on a field mouse for supper. Quite effective. Events tend to click like a domino effect and my end-goals comply to the inner vision of my "hawk-eye" Hope this & the hawk blog post inspire you to keep discovering your relationship with the hawk and vice versa.
