First One is sit in a quiet spot and relax and make sure your cats or dogs are out of the room if you have any so they cant Jump up on you when you are Meditating as this will shock your system and isnt fun, Ive known people to be sick when that has happend, so all Animals out and the Telephone un-pluged or Turned off as you need quiet, it could take you about 5 minutes to get to the level you need to get as Spirit Animals work on a differnt Viberation that is more softer but also can be intence at the same time depending what Animal Comes to you, then once you are relaxed, Just Mentaly ask for your Animal to come and wait and its that simple, Dont be disaponted if you want a Wolf and you get a Pigeon, the one that you need will come to you Not the one you want as this also cuts out the Ego.

POWER ANIMAL MEANINGS
Armadillo - Boundaries.
We learn from the armadillo, which, by rolling into a ball, can be completely armored against attack, how to consciously define our own emotional and physical boundaries.
Bat - Rebirth.
Shaman initiates undergo a ritual death in which they face their fears and are reborn without their old identities. Bat medicine teaches us to release fear and any pattern which no longer fits in with our pattern of growth, Bats are a flying mammal that specializes in radar. Bats live in caves, or dark places like attics, in groups called colonies. It's members work together to feed and support hungry babies. Because of it's scarey appearance and nocturnal behavior these powerful totems have become omens of doom and fear. Humans fear death, and all those things associated to death, because of our true fear of changing. When bats fly into your life it's time to stop and look at what needs to be released. Bat can show you your darkest secrets, deepest emotions, and true fears. Bat lives within the womb (a cave) of Mother Earth and can show us how to rebirth ourselves everyday. This natural life cycle of life and death (or Shamanic Death) is what allows us to release our old self and structures. Let us rejoice the Bat with our new birth and move into our new paths of life.
Bear - Introspection.
Bear medicine teaches us to go within, in order to digest our experiences and to discover that we contain within ourselves the answers to all of our questions.
Beaver - Builder.
Beavers work in cooperation to build their homes and domes, and this medicine teaches us that we can create and fulfill most powerfully when all involved appreciate the talents of each and work together in harmony.
Buffalo - Prayer and Abundance.
Buffalo teaches us that true prosperity comes when we are grateful for what we have and when we live in harmony and love with all other beings.
Bumblebee -Community, Celebration, Personal Power.
For the ancient Druids the bee symbolized the sun, the Goddess, celebration, and community. At festival times, people often drank mead, whose main ingredient is fermented honey, and in later Christian times monks lived in beehive-shaped huts, symbolizing the goal of a harmonious community, whether it included oneself and Spirit or other people as well.
Butterfly - Transformation.
Butterfly fearlessly leaves the safety of its cocoon to meet a new world in a new form, trusting its untried wings to allow it to fly. It is a powerful symbol for anyone who's contemplating or in the midst of a major change, The sun is warm on our faces, the flowers are in full bloom, and the butterflies dance around our heads. Each time we witness a butterfly gracefully drifting by on the wind it up lifts our souls and reminds us to breathe. Butterflies reflect all of Mother Nature's colors. If a particular colored butterfly keeps making an appearance in your life, find what the meaning in those colors. Look close, often it's a mix of colors (like the common white butterflies in our gardens, their pale yellow too). Butterflies also remind us that life has a certain order. A butterfly starts its' life as an egg, hatches into a caterpillar, cocoons into a chrysalis, and then finally is transformed into a butterfly. When we look at our own lives we often find projects, spiritual development, and understanding follows this same process. For example when we discover ourselves and start to understand our own spiritual meaning we start as an egg. Then we become ravenous reading all books, taking any classes, and meeting new people. We then hit a period where we go within, isolating ourselves from the world as we process and transform our old beliefs into new ideas. Finally we hatch as a butterfly into the world with a new understanding/insight to share with the world. So next time you find your own progress slow or stuck, let butterfly help you complete your stages. Then you can fly free as a butterfly.
Canada Goose - Sacred Circle.
The migration of Canada Geese marks the passages of the Great Circle of the Year, and reminds us of the sacredness of the cycles of our own life. We can also learn from the cooperative and communal behavior of these birds, who never abandon a sick or wounded member of the flock, and who know when to lead and when to seek guidance and follow.
Cat - Wholeness.
The cat, a creature which combines a high degree of sensuality with a deeply psychic and spiritual nature, teaches us that the physical and spiritual worlds are not separate, The cat has been a faithful pet, companion, healer, and God for over a thousand years. Cats come in all sizes and colors and find comfort in many of our homes. If left to their own survival however; a cat will revert back to it's wild cat roots. Cats can teach us that although we may live mundane workdays, we can have a wild side that parties on the weekends. Because cats have been living along side humans for so long we share our history. This gives us the ability for past lives and ancestor connection. A cat's eyes are very sensitive to light, which helps them to hunt at night, and also allows them to see into the astral realm. This is why they can see spirits and fairies. Cats have also been noted for their grace and balance. This same grace can be applied to our daily lives when we ask cat medicine for help. So next time you'd like to make an appearance think of a cat walking in to that party, and all their heads will turn!
Cheetah- Speed and Focus.
Unlike other felines, who stalk, then pounce on their prey for the kill, cheetahs, the fastest four-footed animals alive, run down their prey. Their lesson to us is that of accomplishing our goals with speed and focus. When we feel stuck, cheetah medicine can launch us into motion. If we are moving with great speed but little direction, cheetah energy helps us to keep our eyes on our goals and to find the most direct way of achieving them.
Chimpanzee - Living in Harmony.

Dolphins are the embodiment of play and freedom in water. Dolphin often visits us in dreams or in thoughts when we need to remember to breathe. Dolphin teaches us the importance of our breath. By breathing more deeply into our bodies we can reduce stress, heal the body, and alter our state of mind. These trance or meditation times are when Dolphin guides us to new lands. Dolphin is a wonderful friend when learning to navigate the astral world. Dolphin also uses sound to "see" in the water through eco-location. Again showing us the importance of finding truth and life through what we say to others. So let Dolphin help you today by showing you freedom of your spirit in the ocean or even your bath tub.

Eagle - Spirit.
Eagle flies fearlessly, bridging heaven and earth, and teaches us to courageously face our fear of the unknown in order to fly as high as our heart's joy can take us, Eagle is a symbol for the USA, representing our love of freedom and independence. Many cultures over the world have used the symbol of an eagle to show their bravery and courage. But why is the Eagle so powerful to us? Of all the creatures on Earth, Eagles show us our ability to soar in our spirit. This predatory bird has sharp eyes and strong talons. It uses it's 8 - 10 foot wing span to circle in the air to search for food. It's ability to fly higher then most birds shows us it's connection to the heavens above. Many Native stories tell of the dieing eagle flying to the sun to be burned and falling to Earth in clean water to be reborn. This act of being reborn shows us our own need to let go of old ideas and wounds and to start life in a new way. Eagle also shows us to fly for our dreams and visions and that our hearts will always be free. Call for the Eagle spirit to uplift your life. Let Eagle guide you to your dreams and let go of the outcome.

Because cheetahs can run faster than them, gazelles have evolved the ability to nimbly dart from side to side, thus putting themselves out of the path of the cheetah's straight-line dash.They teach us that with awareness and skill, we can be comfortable in our own vulnerability.
Giraffe - Grounded Vision.
The giraffe, the tallest of animals, may be as tall as 18 feet, with a neck as long as 7 feet. Ungainly as this animal may seem, its weight is well distributed, and it's vulnerable only when it bends down to drink water. Giraffe teaches us to view our lives in a way that is both grounded and expansive and that in our desire to evolve spiritually, we must always remember we are physical creatures.

They have adapted to our fields and sprawling freeways looking for opportunities of rodents and birds. Hawks hold a special awe in our hearts for their ability to soar in the heavens and to see all of life. Hawk helps us to reach new understandings by looking at the whole situation and then deciding what to do. Their vision can see both the distant mountains and the small rabbit in the field. This ability reflects our own need to see the small details in a project, but not loose focus of the larger goal. When Hawk flies into your life, look for an opportunity in your current situation. What are you seeking at this moment? Is this opportunity ready now and you just needed to jump on it? Hawks change their color as summer fades to fall. The Red Tail Hawk will turn from dark brown to a lighter tan, flecked with cream. So as our days grow shorter, and the chill fills the night, ask Hawk to guide your visions and bring new opportunities in life.
Hippopotamus - Emotional Depths.
The hippopotamus, sacred in Egyptian and African traditions, is the second largest mammal on earth. Its name means "Water Horse," and it spends most of its day in water. This animal, very substantial in physical terms, can guide us in grounding ourselves so we can face and dissolve emotional issues (the power of water).

Mouse does have the ability to squeeze into impossible spaces, find all that is hidden between the walls, and see what others over look. Mouse can teach us to see the world in great detail. Because mice can only see a few inches from their noses, their world is very close to their faces. This view of life allows us to slow down and look at a situation or project from all the details verses the final out come. Mice can also squeeze anywhere their heads can fit (in most cases the size of a quarter or smaller) showing us that nothing is impossible if we look at all the possibilities. So let Mouse come into your heart today. Let him show you the forgotten details and new possibilities that dance around your feet.

Owl- Wisdom.
Owl, the night hunter, has the ability to see what others may miss. The gift of this medicine is to be undeceived by external appearances and to discover the truth beneath them,To our past ancestors, the animal held great spiritual power and symbolic meaning. In Native American culture, mythology and ancient civilizations, each animal is embodied with its own symbolic meaning and held its own unique spiritual power.
A particular animal crossing your path had deep significance to your life and indeed a strong message to impart. The presence of animal wisdom may appear to you in a dream, on the physical plane or intuitively.
We can also utilize and tap into the energy of animal guides around us to assist us in the daily challenges that life some times brings to our door.
By calling forth the energy and spirit of a particular animal guide.
We can ask that we be imbued with the energy and strength. Endowed with the character and special abilities that is unique to that animal.
Utilizing that energy to assist us in general life, or in a specific situation that we may be facing.
The Owl is the bringer of wisdom. The all-seeing owl possesses supernatural qualities and is often associated with intuition, clairvoyance and clairaudience. The Owl’s energy is at its peak in the very heart of darkness. When we are plunged into blindness and disorientation. He penetrates the darkness of the blackest night. Seeing and hearing that which others cannot, a magical creature of the forest enigmatic and powerful.
If the Owl is calling you, or you are aware of the owl being present in your life, dreaming or waking you are being called upon to open your eyes, ears and mind to the truth of a situation. To listen to the wisdom deep in your heart and soul. That still small voice is trying to reach you in some way. To assist you or help you in a current challenge you may be facing.

Raccoon - Dexterity, Disguise.
Though Raccoon's mask is commonly associated with its so-called banditry (it has been know to open house doors with its clever hands in order to appropriate human food) the mask has a deeper meaning. It teaches us that none of us are quite what we seem, even to ourselves, that in our lives we can experience the freedom of many identities. This medicine helps us to assume and release the many roles we play.
Raven - Magick, Seeing Our True Self.
Ravens are found all over the world in artwork and mythology. Whether the meaning of a Raven is good or bad depends on the people of that culture. Ravens have been regarded as omens of death, war, and bad luck to some, and creators of light, fire, magik, and change to others. Like any change within our lives, it depends on how you look at it. Change is the ending of one thing (death) and the beginning of something new (creation). It is no wonder we fear Ravens when they spiritually help us to let go of our obstacles so we can find new magik in our lives. Ravens teach us to find our true meaning of self. Helping us to bring forward our imagination and resourcefulness into our daily life. When we reach deep into our self, know our truth, and bring it into the light, this is powerful magik. In the Pacific Northwest Native mythology Raven is the bringer of light to the people. Just as Raven brought the stars, the moon, and the sun to us all; let Raven bring you to your own light and fly free into the magik of creation.
Robin - Growth and Renewal.
Like many birds, robins are good parents, and one aspect of this power animal is the ability to nurture oneself into true adulthood. This concept also relates to Robin's traditional connection to spring. This is the season of renewal, and when we let go of the past (much of which comes from childhood experiences) we are renewed, and free to nurture and serve both ourselves and others.
Seal - The Inner Voice.
The seal reminds us of our connection to our deep inner rhythms, feelings, and knowing, as represented by the sea. When we fear drowning in these depths, Seal reminds us how to swim.

Spider- Weaver.
As Spider weaves her web so we weave our realities. This medicine teaches to remember that we are the creators of our lives.that we are the creators of our lives, With a bump in the night, a howl from the woods and a terrible scream our haunted houses are not complete without a touch of cobwebs. Nothing seems more alien from humans then spiders. With their eight eyes, eight legs, and ability to live almost anywhere (especially my basement) spider has been a target of horror movies and night time fears. Spiders, with so many multiples of eight, are linked to fate and density. They can spend a day weaving their web and if it doesn't work untie it and let it float away. Spider can teach us to weave our lives, but we always have the ability to re-weave what we don't like. Spider in Native American myth and lore wrote the alphabet teaching the people to use words and writing. Spider can help you with your poses and poems creating new ways of expressing yourself. Creativity is always available when spider comes into your life. So save an eight-legged friend today and let Spider create something wonderful in your life.
Squirrel - Gathering.
Squirrel, in preparing for winter, gathers only what it needs. This medicine teaches us to discard not only unnecessary physical objects but those negative beliefs which limit our trust in love and abundance, Squirrels have learned to share the human urban world. They can quickly adapt to any environment and learn how to get food even from the most guarded bird feeder. Squirrel magik teaches us to be resourceful within our lives. To try every angle to obtain our desire. Squirrel also teaches us that even the most simplest of work can be done in joy. As they search for food and mates they still have fun teasing the neighborhood cat and to try your new crocus bulbs. As Spring approaches they also remind us to clean out unwanted debris from last year (past relationships) and make room for new life
Swan- Grace.
Swan teaches us to trust the grace of our being as it operates in both the physical and spiritual planes, and urges us to rejoice in the gifts of our physical bodies and our intuitive minds.
Tiger -Being in the Now.
The tiger is one of the most powerful of the big cats. A solitary, silent hunter, it symbolizes removing all distractions from the mind and being purely focused on the present moment. Thus, Tiger is able to call on all of its abilities in order to achieve success.
Turtle- Mother Earth.
By following the example of Turtle we can learn to ground ourselves in the nurturing and protective energy of the earth and to flow with its energies at a pace which assures completion of our tasks, With all the changes on our Earth at the moment, it did not surprise me when Turtle walked forward to be this months' guide. When life is chaos and we are rushing from one project to another, this is the time we need to be grounded to Mother Earth the most. Turtle walks with purpose and intention because she walks on our Mother Earth. She hears Earth's heart beat and carries the wisdom to feel this beat. Turtle teaches us to SLOW DOWN. Just like the children's fable of the rabbit and the tortoise, we learn we will make the finish line just the same as the rabbit, but with less stress. Turtle also reflect the secrets of the moon with 13 scale plates on her back that represent the 13 moon cycles of the year. Turtle, with her beautiful shell reminds us we need to take our protection with us, wherever we may need to travel to. Home and safety is always around us, this way we can be free to travel into any adventure.
Whale - Record Keeper.
Through the rhythm and patterns of sound Whale teaches us to hear our inner voices, to be in touch with our personal truths, and thus to know the wisdom and feel the heartbeat of the universe.
Wolf- Teacher.
Though the moon rises every night Wolf always finds something new to learn from it. We, too, in exploring the hidden paths of consciousness, may discover new truths to share with the rest of our clan, the human race.
Zebra - Individuality.
The zebra's distinctive stripes serves as a protective camouflage against predators, who are often unable to pick an individual out from the herd. For herd members, the stripe patterns, unique to each zebra, have the opposite effect of helping to identify individual zebras. This power animal thus helps us to both maintain our individuality in group settings and helps us to be supportive members of our communities. A third spiritual meaning for the stripes has to do with the integration of opposites, thus enabling us to see a deeper truth.
