Eagle and Mountain Lion Essences
by Daniel Mapel
Founder and Developer of Wild Earth Animal Essences

About the Wild Earth Animal Essences: They are similar in manufacture and use to Bach, FES and other flower remedies except that they contain the energy of a specific species of animal rather than a species of flower. These remedies are made during a ceremonial process in the wild which includes attuning with and invoking the spirit of the animal involved. The resulting essence contains the energy of the animal but does not contain any animal parts. (No animals are captured or harmed in the development of these essences.) When one takes an animal essence, it is the consciousness of the animal that interacts with our own consciousness. This interaction occurs in a gentle, supportive way.


EAGLE ESSENCE is for soaring above earthly matters to gain perspective and clarity. It assists in transcending the mundane and perceiving the deepest truth at the heart of a situation. Enhances spiritual and creative vision. It facilitates opening to the Divine for creative inspiration. This remedy is for soaring with Great Spirit, for connecting with Higher Self and Divine Guidance.

Eagle Essence is recommended:

  • For those who seek spiritual guidance.
  • For those who feel disconnected from Spirit and who need to develop their personal spirituality
  • For those who find themselves unable to see or understand that life is a spiritual experience.
  • For those who wish to view their situation from a different perspective in order to find a solution.
  • For those who wish to vision a new endeavor.
  • For those in emotional or physical pain, as this can help them to remember and stay open to the Divine through their suffering.
  • For those on vision quests or other spiritual journeys.

  • A 37 year-old woman was in the process of healing from being physically abused as a child. She was unfulfilled in her professional work, yet she felt that she had no energy to be able to focus on the future because of the intense focus on her emotional healing process. After taking Eagle essence for several weeks, she began to find herself excited about the future, and began to become inspired about the different directions she might take in her life.

    Eagle essence was given to a 35 year-old man, who was starting a new business entirely different from anything he had ever done before. During the period of visioning and starting his business, he took Eagle essence for inspiration and guidance. Over the course of several months, he was amazed by the number of creative insights that came to him. This creative visioning allowed him to successfully launch his new business.


    MOUNTAIN LION ESSENCE encourages purposeful action. It provides powerful support for manifesting one's dreams and visions and supports one in staying true to oneself despite distractions and upheavals. This essence encourages the ability to walk one's talk, assisting in moving through fears and encouraging development of self-confidence. It balances qualities of strength and gentleness within the self.

    The following comments about Mountain Lion were received from Rosely Marcondes Pimenta, a professional essence practitioner and instructor in Sao Paulo, Brazil. She reports that a 27-year-old single man used to be very aggressive, without clear objectives to work out his potential. After taking the essence, he became calm in his close relationships and directed his potential to work with concentration. His change has been very encouraging to family and friends.

    Another of her clients, a 35-year-old married woman, had no willpower before taking Mountain Lion. After taking the essence she started a training program that helped her with her work. She felt more secure and cheerful. Similarly, a 28-year-old single man complained that he had no objectives in life. He was extremely aggressive. After taking the essence, he became more organized in daily routines and was more confident in his decisions and attitudes. He focused his aggressiveness into the right channels and became very tender with friends and relatives.
