Finding Your Animal Spirit- Short Guide On How To Meet Your Spirit Animal

Meditation

Meditating. It is probably the best way to contact/meet your spirit animal. The way to do it is lay/sit/stand in a comfortable position.

Once you are comfortable, relax all muscles in your body. Your legs should not be stiffened. Relax your arms, neck, face, and feet also. It's okay if your head hangs to the side.

Make sure to listen to gentle calming nature noises/music. Celtic music may work too.

Gently close your eyes and focus on your breathing. Let all thoughts float and drift around your mind. Take deep breaths in, and breath out. Do this over until it is relaxed.

Imagine yourself standing in front of a river. Stare into the depths of the shimmery water and breathe, in, and out.

Imagine a small opening in the water, like a whirlpool. Let yourself carefully step into it.

When you get out, you find yourself standing in your perfect oasis. Whether it be a desert, jungle, rainforest, forest, mountains, or snowy tundra, it's your dream land. It can even be a place that only exists in your imagination.

Take a moment to look around the place. What do you see? What do you smell? What do you hear?

You see a small path appear in front of you. Follow the path. See where it takes you. Breathe in, and out.

Follow the path for as long as you wish, staring at the things that you pass by. Listening to any soothing noise nearby.

Finally, you reach a hidden area. It could be a cave, a beach, a couple of trees around a clearing, anywhere you'd like.

Sit down at any good resting spot there. Wait for your animal to show itself, do not force it to come.

You see your animal slowly approaching you. You gesture it to sit next to you. Do you have anything to say to your animal? Any questions? If not, just enjoy the time you have with your animal.

If it has anything to say, listen to it's words of wisdom, and thank them for it. Accept it, gradually.

Spend this time talking or just sitting with your animal. Stare into your animal's eyes. What do you see? Notice it's appearance and try to vision it well.

Your animal knows it is time to leave, so do not force it to stay. Let it go if it wishes, say goodbye, and thank them for their time.

Do not worry, you will be able to revisit this spot anytime you need guidance from your animal. Watch as it disappears into the distance.

Finally, you get up and follow the path. You once again, stare at all the things you pass by. Admire the beautifulness that is before you.

You reach the river, the whirlpool starts to form again.

Take your last glance around the oasis, thank your animal yet again, and step into the whirlpool.

Now, the meditation is over. Roll your head around, wiggle your toes and fingers if they are asleep. You may flutter open your eyes, and take your final deep breath. In, and out.

Thank you for meeting with your animal. If you want, describe everything you saw in your meditation in the comment box! I hope this worked, if not, some need different ways to meet their animal.

If this worked, it would be kind of you to vote for this chapter. Remember, different ways work for different people. Thanks for reading. ;D
