This is only ONE way of calling in the animal empowerments and is a guide only.
Please use whatever method works for you.
Let’s begin with taking in three large deep breaths..... Taking your time…… Breathing in through the nose and allowing the air to escape through your mouth on each exhalation. Breathe normally for a few minutes and again take in a deep breath, this time through the mouth. As you take the breath in its spiraling through every air sac within your lungs and filling the lungs to capacity... hold the breath for three to four seconds and BLOW it out until the lung is completely empty...... begin normal breathing but staying aware of your breath for a short time watching the rise and fall of the abdomen.
If you are more comfortable laying down then do so, if not sit in the lotus position or simply in a chair with feet touching the floor. Again, this can be an individual thing. It’s not so important the position as the comfort … so make sure you feel relaxed and comfortable.
Keep breathing normally.... Looking through your third eye.... I want you to see a path...... it’s winding and filled with pine needles, wild flowers and nature sounds.
Remove your shoes… As you continue to walk, you begin to be more conscious of the sounds and smells around you... perhaps a crow in the background the smell of wild violets, the residue of seasons past under the growth of the forest.
Continue walking, just enjoy being at one with nature don’t try to make this experience happen. Just allow things to unfold.
You have been walking for a while now and you feel like now might be a good time to find a spot to rest. When you find the right place, just sit down, perhaps there is a tree to lean your back against... very nice indeed. Just close your eyes and relax…
Take some time and just be, try to empty your mind of busy thoughts, things that happened during your work day, or problems with kids/work/bills…. just let it all go. Shhhhh, be stilled be silent.
Just relax………………….
Ok? Now that you are in a place of being set free from all of the day’s tension…focus on what is it that you wish to happen/find on this journey. Ponder that thought for just a bit…. just relax… be stilled, let what is to happen…. just be.
Your eyes are still closed… and you are feeling very safe.
You feel a gentle breeze blowing, it touches your cheek and you hair is being gently moved… it’s a beautiful feeling… safe and welcoming.
You know why you are here, to call upon your guide, whether it be four - legged guide or perhaps a winged one, perhaps it moves on its belly or even swims.
You are now having the feeling that something is close to you.
Your heart beat quickens in anticipation…you feel something/someone coming closer but still you wait to open your eyes…. Then you feel the presence... so close to your face that you can actually feel the air movement/breath on your face. Still you know there is nothing to fear…….. You may now open your eyes…
What do you see?
Brilliant, intelligent eyes stare back at you; it feels like they are penetrating your very soul.
Sit silently for a few moments... allow your power animal to make the first communication.
Now, your power animal moves closer to you... now touching you with a familiar greeting and then goes behind you… once again touching…You can feel the heartbeat its so close.
You then feel yourself merge/melting with the animal… it begins at the base of the spine (exactly at the tailbone/coccyx) it begins with a slight tingle as it touches/moves up your spine…moving upward…slowly…you feel your body changing…. changing…… your eyes are becoming keener as is your sense of smell.
Everything around you has taken on a new meaning/look… never before had you realized the true beauty of nature the way you are seeing it now. Never before have you experienced all the smells and touch of nature.
Spend some time walking around in nature in your new guise, remembering that you will have to return to your old form soon but for now... just be who you really are and know that the animal will always be a part of you.
Many other totem helpers may come your way to teach you of their medicine and to assist you along your journey... they will come and go as needed just accept the gifts they bestow on you.
