Since
the beginning of time us two-legged creatures have questioned and
marveled about the four-legged inhabitants of our Earth Mother –
the animals. Native American people know that all things on the Earth
Mother are related and all things are teachers. Some of the most visible
and articulate teachers are the animals. Not only do they enrich our
lives with food and protection but they also embody the vast spiritual
world of guide, teacher and wisdom. It is our belief that each human
is blessed with “animal spirit guides” or, “Power
Animals”, who nurture and advise us. It is our responsibility
to become knowledgeable of their presence and learn to work with and
listen to these guides.
This meditation is performed in a group setting; the more present
the better, as energy is cumulative as well as private. Participants
are asked to lie down and will be guided by drumming and speaking
to a place where they can meet and talk with their spirit animal.
Participants will not only gain knowledge of their power animal but
will develop a sense of themselves and how to work with that energy.
