Garuda Suparna

Cultivate confidence in yourself. You have the inner-spiritual power to deal wisely and effectively with any situation. Don’t allow anyone to take advantage of your kind nature. Reflect upon what action feels best for you to take, and then follow through with decisiveness. Do not allow negativity to get a grip in your Life. Positive energy and outcomes are indicated.

Garuda is the mystical king of the birds, an almighty eagle-like divine creature celebrated in the spiritual traditions of the East. In Sanskrit, suparna means ‘to have powerful wings and fly well.’ This has spiritual significance, as Garuda can cover great distances and reach tremendous heights. Garuda’s earthly counterpart, the eagle, is said to use the powerful winds of a storm to fly above it, rather than get caught within it. The eagle spirit is a wisdom teacher, one who advises how to utilize the storms of ego to fuel your capacity to rise spiritually, to face problems head on and use them to heal and grow.

Eagle seeks higher sanctuary, where negativities can be dealt with before they cause further problems. Another Sanskrit word accorded to Garuda is vishari,which essentially means ‘conqueror of poisons.’ Garuda Suparna augurs a time when you will need to rise above the pettiness of ego and ensure you nip negativities in the bud, lest they become powerful enough to cause havoc in your heart. You don’t need to become ensnared within the drama of ego.

Garuda fights on the side of the light and is a bringer of powerful protection and hope and is a symbol of rebirth. He is a capable warrior. His dark side can be seen in that he is merciless.In Buddhism, he is known as the dignity of wisdom. Sometimes our compassion can outweigh our wisdom. Our empathy allows troublesome behaviours or circumstances to fester and develop into far greater problems later on. If we had listened to our wisdom, we would have cut them off at the root. But, while it can be harder to do so later, it is not impossible, and it is Garuda who teaches us to be unyielding when that is what wisdom calls for.

Eagle socializes with its own kind. Therefore, an aspect of its medicine is to seek those who resonate at a similar spiritual frequency and are committed to a higher path. Such kindred spirits will not necessarily have the same belief systems. They may seem quite different to you in many ways. Yet, if someone has a commitment to honoring the hearts of all beings, they are likely to be good company for your soul.Garuda eagle medicine empowers us to discern the real quality of our relationships. The company you keep can have a profound effect. You have the spiritual right and responsibility to choose which company you keep. You don’t need to judge, for everyone is taking their own journey and working to heal their karma. But you do need to discern.

Garuda has the mystical power to grow or shrink, depending on what is needed to accomplish his heroic tasks. By becoming large enough to block the sun and cause thunderstorms just by flapping his wings, to becoming small enough to hide in a crevice to craftily avoid capture, Garuda teaches us when to step up and shine bright and bold and when to fly under the proverbial radar. The oracle of Garuda Suparna is a talisman of divine protection and soul-smart strategy. Garuda is a wild spirit, free and instinctive. His is the wisdom and empowerment needed to rise above negativity, not from avoidance, but from a place of wisdom and clarity. This oracle guides you to rely on your instincts and be true to your heart. In doing so, you may not always look like a perfect person from the outside, but you are proceeding in resonance with your own heart wisdom.

Healing Process

It’s time to imagine you are a mighty eagle! Spread your arms as though they were wings and  ‘fly’ around your room. You may swoop or soar effortlessly. If you can safely stand on a chair or a step, do so. Imagine, intend, sense or feel that you are gazing down at your life from a higher perspective. What do you see? Are there issues that need to be dealt with immediately, before they escalate? Do you need to make yourself unavailable to certain negativities? Do you need to withdraw and seek spiritual connection whilst a storm beneath you unfolds? Give yourself permission to see, sense, feel and acknowledge your own wisdom.

When you are ready, ground yourself safely in your ‘nest.’ Place your hands in prayer at your heart and bow. You are bowing to the light, to divine wisdom, to Garuda, the Eagle Spirit Teacher within your soul, and to the great gift of life which enables all souls to grow and evolve.

You can complete your healing process by coming back to the here and now, remembering your human self and human name and hydrating your body.
