What is a Spirit or Power animal?
Spirit animals, serving as spirit guides in animal form, are invaluable companions, aiding you in navigating life's challenges and transitions.
These perceptive and trustworthy animal helpers act as exceptional teachers, offering insights into both the spirit and natural worlds.
Regularly working with your animal guide can enrich your personal life and expand your spiritual capabilities.
Connecting with your spirit animal can be achieved through meditation or a guided shamanic journey, facilitating deeper communication with them.
Utilising a guided meditation or shamanic journey involves several steps: first, ground yourself and establish a connection with your animal.
Visualise the animal's energy merging with your own, integrating its strength and wisdom into your being.
Set the intention to embody the animal's empowerment for the day ahead. Working with animals provides grounding, with the assurance that their energy will protect and serve you.
