I have heard many people talking about their spirit guide or spirit animal. I was wondering how I could contact mine. I've tried meditation, but I've gotten no answer. Should I continue to meditate, or are there other ways?
Keep a dream diary, look for coincidences, develop and trust in your intuitive knowing... meditation's still the best way, though I was always told they'll only show up "when you're ready." :-P
There are different spirit guides for different stages of life, so it may be that you have not yet reached a stage that allows you to communicate with one.
Otherwise, I agree on keeping a dream journal, though some say if there is a particular animal you have been drawn to since birth, that it may be your animal guide. If you have always liked a particular animal, try to do meditations on them specifically and see what happens. Some animal guides also appear in the form of signs, especially if you see a particular species multiple times in a short amount a time.
I have a question about spirit animals. I've always loved dogs, ecspecially wolves. And then my friend made me take a quiz to find out what my protronous would be (I know it was Harry Potter test. It was kinda stupid actually. Just a personality quiz.) and it was a wolf. What does that mean, like is there any connection between the two? -Catty
I wouldn't act on the results of the test alone, but continue to keep your eyes open for signs or coincidences. At any rate, it wouldn't hurt to explore a deeper connection to the wolf as a totem animal. :)
Thank you for your answers. Yes, I have been keeping a dreem diary. Although lately I can't remember my dreams. =( I will keep meditating though. Thank you all =)
Z you need to think that a good portion of our members here are kids, no mentioning of peyote, as I'm sure most of them don't even know what it is.
Ericak - Dream diaries, meditations, visualizations....they are all good starts.....you should also try looking into maybe opening your third eye chakara.....sitting in the woods, or a meadow....and meditating.....or just be patient as your guide WILL appear to you in time. To the sounds of it, you prolly already know who your spirit guide is, it's just the way the guide is manifesting itself to you. Most of the time, guides aren't to big on scarring the daylights out of the people they are sent to protect.
Kalresha, your knowledge of power animals is great. The things Kal has said are true, I couldn't have said it better myself. Oh, the dog as a totem, however, is not likely. A wolf would most likely be it rather than a dog.
Power animals are rarely domesticated animals. There is an exception though. Usually a dog or cat totem would come to someone who is not ready for the true forms of the totem. A cat could be a prelude to a lion, tiger, panther, or other feline. A dog totem could be a condensed version of a wolf, coyote, or other canine.
Usually these toned down versions of totems stay with you until you are ready for the true form of the animal.
yeah i kinda have a connection too and its not just bcuz u said something about it , but one time i went to the zoo and the black panther was in its glass cage and i was sittin next to the glass and it just went back and forth rite infront of me, also some ppl have seen a large black cat in some of my photos behind me , (panther), um my dad had a panther tatoo on his arm, also every time i see a photo of a panther i get short of breath and get major energy rushes through my body.
