Getting by with a Little Help from Our Friends—Spirit Animal Friends that is:  Some ways that Power Animals Assist Us on Our Spiritual Journey

Over the past decade, I have found that my efforts to work in harmony with the natural world, and especially with the enlightening energies of Power Animals, to be one of the most intriguing, beneficial aspects of my Shamanic Energy practice.  In fact, on numerous occasions, I have personally found the insights and transformative effects of meeting my own Power Animals, as well as those of my clients, to be truly profound experiences.

 

One question that I am often asked by attendees at my Shamanic Energy programs is: In what ways can Power Animals help me on my spiritual journey and in my practical, day-to-day life?

 

My response is simple: The variety of ways they might assist us are as countless and unique as each of the people attending this program.  Yet, although every person experiences these Archetypal Animal guides differently, there are a number of common insights that they tend to bring to everyone.

 

Some Benefits of Power Animal Wisdom:

• Heightened aware of any positive, helpful qualities, or latent talents that we need to express more fully in our lives at this particular time

• Greater insight into the possible challenges and promises that await us on our path

• Loyal companionship and encouragement to help us apply what we know to do in our lives with consistency and courage

• Protection on our path which keeps us from reverting back to outmoded patterns or habits that we wish to release

• Reinforcement of the energetic momentum we need in order to meet any new challenges that might occur on our path to transformation.

 

When I initially began my shamanic training many years ago, I believed the Archetypes were only symbolic in their essence.  But now I realize that they are much more “real” than I ever imagined!
