Spirit Animals
Spirit Animal Guides are profound companions on our life’s journey, existing in the realms beyond the ordinary senses. Spirit Animals, embodying the primal essence of Mother Earth, serve as protectors and teachers, each species imparting unique strengths and insights. They come to us bearing messages and lessons aligned with their intrinsic traits—courage from the lion, cleverness from the fox, vision from the hawk, loyalty from the dog, adaptability from the chameleon, or insight from the owl, for instance.
Pay attention to when an animal turns up regularly in the physical – they could be your totem. Tuning in to the guidance of these power animals enhances our understanding of ourselves and our connection to the natural world, deepening our respect for all life as sacred. We can connect to our Spirit Animals in meditation and discover what messages they have for us. Animals that were with us in life that have now departed can also appear to us as Guides. They often assist in healing sessions and provide support, just as they did when they were on the Earth plane.
The guided mediations in the media player above can help you to meet them. Refer to the list of Spirit Animals and their metaphysical descriptions below once you have discovered your guide.
