          ANIMAL SPIRIT GUIDES & TOTEMS




          Did you know that each human being has nine totem animals that represent their special talents and skills that were brought into this life experience or Earth Walk. Totem animals or animal guides can take the form of real animals, such as a bear or frog, or they can manifest themselves in mythological forms, such as a dragon, griffin, or unicorn.

          My first experience with my primary animal spirit guide was when I was 14 and home from school not feeling very well, kind of dozing in and out of the sleep state. Next thing I knew there was this huge dragon coming at me in my vision... with really big dragon teeth. She frightened me at first until I realized that she was there for me as a friend and a lifelong companion. We have been great friends and companions since and I look forward to riding her when I finally leave my mortal body behind at my death. She has given me strength and fire in my approach life and people that have wandered in and out of it, some good and some not so good. She has also shown me about loyalty and conviction, protecting what is yours including your children and grandchildren. She has a deep sense of commitment to her offspring, even when they don't necessarily do what they are supposed to do. When I have problems understanding one of her "lessons" she gives me an occasional "whack" with her tail or her paw and gets me to pay better attention to the lesson. She has brought 3 baby dragons into my realm that love to pick on my cats and the neighbor's dogs. (I get a call occasionally from my neighbor asking me to call off my dragons and have them go home as her dogs are barking and shaking in the corner of her bedroom and she is hear hissing sounds coming from nowhere.) I occasionally have stuff fall off shelves and something crashing to the ground without any reason so I have to ask them to stop it. My dragon is my protector and she is my friend and we have been together for over 40 years now. When I dream, she takes me flying with her. I love it.

          Other animals I have felt a kinship with are wolves (I am a woman who "runs with the wolves" and "howls at the moon" on occasion. But there are many other animal friends that I feel are a part of me as well. The hawk, the owl, the crow, and the raven for starters. Each one of these creatures brings into my life a special skill or attribute that I carry with me. From the wolf, I am given the gift of being a teacher. From the hawk, the raven and the crow I receive the ability to receive messages from Spirit. The owl brings me the ability to see through the darkness, sort of speak, through the veil, to see things that others do not. Another animal I have a kinship with are snakes. In college I was called the "snake witch" by the head of the Animal Biology department because I could climb inside the cages with their large snakes that were stressed out from visiting elementary schools and by talking to them and stroking them, I would have them out of their cages and crawling around happy as a snake can be. Snakes in my dreams are a symbol of my emotional state. When I am calm and happy, my dream snakes are calm and crawling around without hissing or biting. However, if I get upset with someone or a situation regarding somebody, my dream snakes will be hissing and snapping at certain individuals. It is a message to me to work on a solution to my emotionally charged problem. These are the most prominent totem animals for me.

          Other animals, such as lizard or chameleon, can bring the ability to use dreams and love of illusion to create visionary art. The bat helps to steer oneself safely through the dark when obstacles cannot be seen. The deer helps an individual to be loving, kind, and gentle.

          WALKING WITH YOUR TOTEM ANIMALS

          When you are in tune with your totem animals you can receive messages from them to help you as you Walk the Path here on Mother Earth. Native American belief states when you are incarnated here for the Earth Walk you have seven directions surrounding your physical body. These directions would be East, West, South, North, Above, Below, and Within. The direction called Within exists within you and around you since you have an entire universe inside your consciousness. Each one of these seven directions has a corresponding totem animal that you have been blessed with to aid you in your Earth Walk by teaching you the lessons each one of the directions brings. There are two other totem animals that walk with you, one is on your right side and the other is on your left side.

          NINE TOTEM ANIMALS BLESSINGS TO YOU

          EAST: Your totem animal in the East guides you to your greatest spiritual challenges and guards you while you are on that path of illumination.

          WEST: Your totem animal in the West leads you to your personal truth. He helps you find the answers you already have buried deep within.

          SOUTH: Your totem animal in the South brings you trust, balance, and innocence. He protects your inner child.

          NORTH: Your totem animal in the North is very wise. He helps you to discern when to listen and when to speak. He also reminds you of all the blessings that have been bestowed upon you.

          ABOVE: Your totem animal from Above connects you to the Great Star Nation, the Universe, and reminds you that you came from the stars and so shall return someday. This totem also brings you the dreams you experience in the Dream Time, helping you connect to other dimensions other than just this one.

          BELOW: Your totem animal from Below brings lessons about Mother Earth and how to stay grounded and balanced while here in the Earth Walk.

          WITHIN: Your totem animal from Within brings you your heart's desire and gives you the strength to be true to your dreams and Walk your Talk.

          RIGHT SIDE: Your totem animal on your Right Side protects you like a father. He is your protector as well as the one who gives you your courage and spirit to fight when necessary.

          LEFT SIDE: Your totem animal on your Left Side protects you like a mother. S/He teaches nurturing yourself as well as others. S/He teaches how to experience and have loving relationships.

          When you find which are your totem animals, it is then that you might start to feel a great "connection" or "knowing" that one in particular has a stronger influence than the others.

          MEETING YOUR ANIMAL SPIRIT GUIDES
          By Lisa L. Nash & Orpheus

          Today, in searching for a lifepath that is more harmonized with the earth, many folks are relearning the "old ways" by relating to animal energy like the ancient Native Americans did. Even within Chinese and western astrology, all or most of the signs/symbols are animals.

          In much earlier times, animals were not just hunted for food or kept as pets. They taught people how to live off the land... and to even survive in some cases. People would closely watch how the different animals lived; for example how and where they found food and water in their natural habitats. This may have led to the connection that people began to feel with animals - where people began to notice the differing strengths and weaknesses within many of the animals, and in turn began to personally connect with them on both spiritual and physical levels. They began to realize and believe that all animals have different lessons to teach, while also possessing different healing and/or inspirational powers.

          WHAT IS AN ANIMAL TOTEM/GUIDE?

          An animal totem or guide is an animal that a person spiritually identifies with. In my experience, some guides are "temporary helpers" that come to us when we find ourselves going through particular events, lessons or life challenges, while others remain with us for our entire lives. But regardless, ALL of your guides will instruct, guide, and protect you as you gradually stroll down your spiritual and physical lifepaths.

          Animal guides help us reconnect with nature by reminding all of us that we are always spiritually and universally interconnected. BUT! In order accomplish this... you first do need to know what your animal totem is!

          HOW DO I MEET MY ANIMAL TOTEM(S)/GUIDES(S)?

          There are certainly many different methods of meeting your guides. However, in my own opinion meditation is the best method. Here is a visualization technique that was taught to me (and it worked extremely well!):

          Sit on the floor or lay comfortably in your bed and totally relax. Close your eyes, breathe deeply and slowly, and allow all of your muscles to completely relax. Now visualize your Crown Chakra (which is located on top of your head or just above it - and is a large orb filled with the most divine white energy/light). Once you have your Crown Chakra visualized quite clearly, next visualize a chord of this very same light/energy flowing from your Crown Chakra down through the top of your head, traveling down along your spine, all the way down through to the Earth. Visualize this energy moving down even further, deep to the core of the Earth and connecting with it. Feel the warm energy of the Earth flowing through your body and feel its power increasingly strengthen you. Allow this energy and power to surge through your entire body: your arms, legs, fingers, toes, and so on. Allow the energy and power to build within you, until you create a slight "energy/power cocoon" that envelops your entire body (this should be seen as a slight aura (or energy field if you will) made of the similar energy that is now flowing through you - emanating approximately an inch or two in thickness from all around your body). Once you have visualized this, you may now allow the darkness behind your eyelids to envelop you.

          Visualize a white light shining up ahead of you. Begin to visualize yourself walking toward this light. As you get closer, notice that you are walking towards a doorway to another realm. Interesting... What does that door look like to you? What is it made of? When you open this door, look out and see a beautiful, lush forest and step out onto the ground. Take in your surroundings: look at the trees, shrubs, grass, weeds, flowers, etc. Are there any streams or rivers around? Walk around to enjoy and explore everything that is surrounding you. As you look ahead of you, you see a pathway through the trees. Visualize yourself stepping onto the path and beginning to walk slowly. Walk a while, and then pause. Then listen carefully and wait. Soon you may see your animal guide approach you. Take as much time as necessary... until your guide finds you. When you see this animal, speak with him or her. Ask any question you might have in mind - perhaps even ask him or her what their name is. Or, maybe you just want to say hello at this point. It is your decision.

          When your animal guide motions to you that your meeting is finished, politely thank him or her and say goodbye (my first meeting with one of my guides I gave him the biggest hug!). But please, also make sure that you promise your guide that you will return once again (in order for your relationship to flourish with your guide you do need to make it a common practice).

          Walk slowly back to the doorway you passed through and visualize yourself walking back through it. Step into the darkness once again, and see another light up ahead. Walk to the light, and visualize it slowly enveloping you and surrounding your entire body. Once the light surrounds you, you may then open your eyes. At this point your journey is complete. I would then perhaps take the opportunity to write down all that you saw, all that was perhaps said between you and your guide. Anything that you feel was quite significant... write it down. Because if it doesn't make much sense to you now, it just might later on down the road!

          One important note - if you have more than one spirit guide, only one may come through to meet you at a time. Within my own experience (as at one time I had three different animal guides), that was indeed the case. During meditation and a "meeting" with one of my guides, I noticed a rustling in some bushes in the not too far distance. I also got the feeling of being watched quite closely - as well as feeling some sort of "expecting" or "eager" type of energy waiting for me behind those bushes. But all the while, nothing emerged from there. When I ask, even as I write this article, as to WHY another guide refuses to emerge while you are already sitting with one, I just get the very stern message that it is "private" and that it is "polite and respectful to do so." So, when you meet your first guide for the first time, politely ask him/her if there is any other spirit wishing to meet with you. If the answer is yes, then you will indeed be urged to "set up another meeting" for your other animal guide(s).

          GUIDE TYPE #2 - ANIMALS

          Now I'm going to talk about my second set of guides - the Animals. I find the animal guides work in a slightly different way to Angels... they need to be called upon (either consciously or subconsciously) to be of any help. Sometimes, they come to you in times of great need (subconscious calling), and other times you need to seek them out. A person usually has a main set of animal guides that personify themselves - different strengths, weaknesses, likes, dislikes, etc. But, you can call on a certain animal for the strengths it possesses... for example, if I wanted wise advice, I'd call an owl. Or if I wanted to be brave, I'd call on a lion. To help myself remember my guides, I may bring a little talisman - like a lions-head-shaped piece of wax, or for the owl, perhaps a little statuette. These help me retain my focus, and to remember that my guide is right there by my side, ready to be called upon. But anyway, you're probably wondering how to call a guide? Well, if you want to find your personal guide/guides, then follow this little meditation:

          TO FIND YOUR PERSONAL ANIMAL GUIDE

          1. Make sure that you are comfortable.

          2. Close your eyes for a breathing exercise.

          3. Breathe in deeply, and so your diaphragm goes out - while you do this imagine a pure white, blue-white, silver, or silver-white light entering your body, and flowing all around it.

          4. When you exhale, imagine either a gold, grey, brown or black mist flowing from your body - all the toxins, the impurities and rubbish.

          5. Do this a few times, until you feel clear.

          6. You need to imagine yourself in nothing but blackness. Then, turning, you see a little pinprick of light in the distance - make towards this, going faster and faster, until you come to the bottom of some stairs.

          7. Count yourself up the stairs - there are 30 - until you reach a door of pure gold at the top. Open the door and walk through. You are standing on a platform far above the clouds... here you turn into a bird.

          8. Here you take off. The trick is that you must 'feel' your surroundings. Feel your feathers flying in the wind, feel the sun or the moon on your body. Smell water in the clouds, or the salt from the sea. Hear the wind. Really immerse yourself in the experience. You fly over what you can see is your house far below... you see the coastline, and make for it, taking you out to see, until you find an island. You circle for a while before going in for a landing. You come through clouds and fly above some trees.

          9.You come into a landing on a tree near a beautiful pool of perfect reflection. Change back to a human, then climb down the tree.

          10. Walk up to the pool, and stare inside. At first, you see your own reflection, but then it starts to change, and becomes the shape of your animal.

          11. This animal, the first animal that you see, has a lot to tell you about yourself. When you see it there, in your reflection, turn around and see it before you. You may want to ask your questions, but always treat it as you would yourself, for it is you - in animal form. Some questions to consider: What latent abilities do I have? What are my strengths? What are my weaknesses? Do my friends deserve me? For the animal guide is just like a guardian angel - some would consider it to be another face, except it does not step in unless you ask it.

          12. When you are done, thank the animal. It will go away.

          13. Climb back up the tree, and turn into a bird again.

          14. Fly back, high above the island, circling it a few times. Then, head for home.

          15. When you reach the platform, turn back to a human.

          16. Open the golden gates, and walk inside. Take the steps back down, counting from 30....29...28... etc.

          17. Run along the tunnel, your pace slowing - until you stop. This is the end of your road.

          18. Feel your spirit project back into your body, and your memories of the event settle into your brain. You may wish to do this exercise with a friend, who can ask you questions throughout, and note them down - this will help if you are somehow unable to remember your adventure.

          19. On the count of three, open your eyes - slowly.

          So there you have it. This meditation may also be used to summon a certain animal for help. Above and more below is information about different animals and their uses...

          I MET MY ANIMAL TOTEM - WHAT NOW?

          So what should I do now after meeting my animal totem?

          Your animal(s) will "talk" to you on many different occasions... either during meditation, through dreams, or while you're awake. When you're awake, you could very well hear them speak words to you, while at other times you may not hear spoken words at all - but more so only "feel" what they are saying. It is rather hard to explain here. But once you connect with your guide(s), you will then understand what I mean. As you develop your relationship with your guide(s), you will quickly learn the difference and know when they are speaking to you.

          The thing is though, they do not manipulate a person's thoughts or actions... they only give reasonable suggestions. Much like your ancestral or other human spirit guides, they can offer you advice and help guide you through many challenging life lessons. Animal guides have special lessons to teach us: they can help us learn how to better utilize our energies, they can teach us how to interact with other people, and they can even guide us towards a certain career path. But by no means are they limited to just these lessons alone! There are indeed as many reasons for guides as what there are guides themselves. But they do have so much to offer, and it is a true blessing to have the companionship of an animal guide.

          Just try to keep in mind that they are not with you to make every move or decision for you... just like your other spirit guides do not tell you how to live your life or make your decisions for you. All guides can merely suggest to you or show you a favorable course of action - all decisions and moves rest within your hands alone.

          HOW DO I FIND INFORMATION ON MY TOTEM?

          Read up on them as much as you can. Learn what your animals symbolically represent, what they eat, where they live, what their habits are, what sounds they make, and so on. But also learn about all of their strengths and weaknesses. You might begin to notice that many of your weaknesses are quite similar to those of your totem animal's, while many of your strengths may also be quite similar in nature. In addition, find out what Elements (Earth, Air, Fire, and Water) your animals correspond to. Some will be obvious... for example birds would correspond to the Element of Air, while water dwellers like the dolphin would correspond to the Element of Water. But on the other hand, some totems will not be as obvious. For instance, animals that transmutate, or change their form and/or appearance at some point in their lives (caterpillars/butterflies or tadpoles/frogs) might correspond with the Element of Fire. But do not take this as being absolute... because some animals might even correspond with more than one Element! When in doubt, it is always best to just get the goods straight from the horse's mouth: ask your animal(s) what Elements they feel are their correspondences. In fact, you might very well get an answer you are not even expecting.

          But in all honesty, asking your animal(s) questions is the best way to learn everything you want to know about them.

          But what if I never get to meet my animal guides?

          Do not worry! They will find you. Simply open yourself up to your guides and know that they can present themselves to you at any time. They will find you when the time is right; just remain aware and open for them. If you try to contact them and get no results, like I mentioned I would not worry about it too much. Even though you may think you did not contact your guides, they are with you and they most certainly did hear you. For whatever reason, they may have felt that the time just was not right for you to meet. But rest assured they will indeed present themselves to you... when they themselves feel that they are ready for you and you for them.

          FOR THE NON-VISUALS AMONG US

          For some people I do realize that visualizations and meditations can be somewhat difficult to master and concentrate upon. So in order to somewhat aid you in beginning this process, there are several questions that you can ask yourself beforehand. All of the questions below should initiate your coming to realize what prominent animal has been in your life. Keep in mind that there are no right or wrong answers. Only you will know which animal totem(s) is right for your journey along your lifepath. But one thing you should try to do is remain as patient as possible throughout this process. Allow things to come to you flowingly and as they should... in their own due course and time. Doing the exercises below should indeed help you along though:
          • Since we are drawn to what resonates with us the most, what animal, bird, or insect do you feel most drawn to?
          • When you go to the park, forest, or zoo what animal are you most interested in seeing?
          • What animal do you most frequently see when you are out in nature or in the city?
          • What animals are you currently interested in learning about?
          • Which animal do you find most frightening or intriguing?
          • Is there a recurring animal in your dreams or do you have one you have never forgotten?
          • Have you ever been bitten or attacked by a particular animal?
          • Ask yourself what animal has played a meaningful part in your life. If you are unsure, make a list of animals that have drawn your interest or have left a deep impression on you from paintings, photographs, stories, movies, carvings, and so on.
          • Which animal shows up in your life most often? Keep a journal of the animals present in your dreams or that you encounter throughout the course of a day for the next month. How did the animal behave? Did you interact with the animal?
          • What animal(s) do you feel you can relate to the best? Is there any animal that can describe your own personality, likes, dislikes, etc.?
          • The purpose of animal spirit guides/totems is to mainly support our development as individually evolving human beings. Their direct involvement is by protecting you, guiding you, and also teaching you lessons along the way... which I must admit makes your relationship with them truly unique. You know, working with an animal spirit guide is like having a very intelligent and watchful big brother in the spirit realm. It is truly something that I am extremely grateful for - to be able to experience such a warm, loving, understanding, nurturing, and supportive relationship. If only everyone could feel what I do when I connect with my spirit guides. But then again... in writing this article, this is what I am now truly hoping to accomplish.

            Brightest of blessings to you all - and may you have the most wonderful and peacefully enlightening journey with your animal spirit guides.





          SHAMANISM & ANIMAL SPIRITUAL TEACHERS

          Shamanism, the world's oldest healing tradition, is found in all cultures on Earth.

          Shamans work with their allies - the animal spirits.

          Learn the wisdom of over three hundred of these spiritual teachers.

          JAGUAR Jaguar's Wisdom Includes:
          • Seeing the roads within chaos.
          • Understanding the patterns of chaos.
          • Moving without fear in the darkness.
          • Facilitating soul work.
          • Empowering oneself.
          • Moving in unknown places.
          • Shapeshifter.
          • Psychic sight.

          BLACK JAGUAR Black Jaguar's Wisdom Includes:
          • Keeper of the circular time continuum.
          • Gatekeeper to the Unknowable.
          • All wisdom listed above for Jaguar.

          According to Mayan beliefs, the journey of the sun across the sky and the darkness of night stood for the eternal journey of human consciousness and its transformations. The sun at midday was compared to the Eagle, flying high in the sky. Then it plunges below the horizon, just as we plunge into the dark where we face our spiritual challenges and are transformed. The hidden sun was said to be Jaguar, whose spotted skin symbolized the stars glittering in the night sky. Thus, it was called the "Jaguar Sun." Jaguar is the earth father. As earth father, he presides over the sacred power in the earth and the animals who live upon it. The force that lives within the mountains, which gives them their volcanic and transformative power, is the same underworld source of power and energy as the Jaguar Sun. The Mayan word for Jaguar is IX (pronounced eesh).
          COUGAR
          MOUNTAIN LION
          PUMA
          Cougar/Mountain Lion/Puma's Wisdom Includes:
          • Using leadership power wisely and without ego.
          • Balancing power, intention, strength.
          • Gaining self-confidence.
          • Freedom from guilt.
          • Cunning.

          For the Zunis of Turtle Island (Southwest United States), Cougar was the Master Hunter, known for its high intelligence, its knowledge of other animal and life forms, its physical prowess, its strength of will, and its intuitive ability. Cougar sees the maintenance of its territory as essential for its survival. Poshaiankia, the father of the Medicine Societies, designated Cougar the duty of carrying messages from humans to the higher spirits, because of this animal's personal power, superior knowledge, strength of will, and steadfastness. Therefore, Cougar represents the link between ourselves and the most powerful spirits in Zuni Mythology: Mother Earth, Father Sky, and the Originator of All.
          ORCA Orca's Wisdom Includes:
          • Creator of the Cosmos.

          According to coastal Indians, Orca was created by the hunter who carved a "blackfish" out of yellow cedar and commanded it to kill his wicked in-laws. Orca tore the men to bits and returned to the Tlingit man, Natsalane, who then ordered the sleek animals never again to prey on humans. And, to this day, Orca, the top predator of the sea, does not eat people. Indeed, the Tlingit people of southeast Alaska consider Orca a custodian of the sea.

          From a Netsilik Song:

          In the very earliest time,
          when both people and animals lived on earth,
          a person could become an animal if he wanted to
          and an animal could become a human being.
          Sometimes they were people
          and sometimes animals
          and there was no difference.
          All spoke the same language.


          For many years we have been teaching our human friend, Diana, to open up, become a hollow tube, and allow us to work through her. That is all she does here. She is our link to you.


          These were obtained from a wonderful website about Shamanism and Working with Animal guides. These are only the first few out-takes from their website. I highly encourage you to visit their website and read about the wisdom of the animals.
