Have you ever wondered if there are more spirit guides out there besides angels? If so you're in luck! Today you'll learn about animal spirit guides and how to meet yours.
What Are Animal Spirit Guides?
Animal spirit guides are animals that reside in the spiritual realm that your soul agrees to before you are reincarnated into this life.
There are a few different types of animal spirit guides that can be broken down like so:
Animal Totem- Think of this animal spirit guide like a lifelong teacher. They do stay with you throughout your entire lifetime.
Animal Spirit Guide- animal spirit guides or animal spirit guides come to you throughout various times in your life. They come to teach you a lesson, offer a listening ear, or may come to protect you against a decision that is not in your best interest.
For example, you may see the word "bear", or pictures of bears when you are about to meet up with someone you don't know very well.
Common Myths About Animal Spirit Guides Befriending and even bonding with an animal spirit guide can be such an experience. But there are some myths that you may want to be aware of first. 1. You can choose your animal spirit guide- this is a complete MYTH! You may want to work with a donkey, horse, or any other animal spirit guide because they are cute or make you feel powerful. However, your animal spirit guides choose you. 2. Pets are animal spirit guides- we love our beloved pets, but they are not our animal spirit guides. They may teach us extra lessons or bring us joy in life but they are not our animal spirit guides. Why? Animal spirit guides are divine energies that hatch from cosmic eggs. They do not always walk in physical form. They are a part of the divine kingdom of the universe and celestial bodies. 3. Only prey animals such as wolves, tigers, and hawks, are powerful- this belief may be in part because we watch specials on Animal Planet or National Geographic where they seem to be most powerful. However, keep in mind even the tiniest of animals can teach you some of the most valuable lessons of your life. So don't get discouraged if you meet an animal spirit guide who isn't a wolf, or animal of prey. 4. Animal spirit guides leave your life because they are mad at you or don't like you- MYTH! Animal spirit guides may leave your life once you have learned what they wish to teach you. Animal spirit guides do not experience emotions in the same way we do.
How to Meet Your Animal Spirit Guides So you decided you are ready to meet your animal spirit guides. But how does one become in tune with them?! 1. Be aware of your surroundings- start paying close attention to signs such as logos and pictures of animals that may show up in a magazine, or on a passing vehicle. For example, you might want to take a yoga instructor class and find out that the company of the class is called "The Yogic Owl". You then meditate on it to discover that you have an animal spirit guide that is an owl who is here to teach you deep wisdom. 2. Meditate- You may want to set aside ten minutes a day and sit in a quiet place such as your porch. Take a few deep breaths. When you feel that your mind has cleared, ask for your animal spirit guide to come to you. Try not to expect the animal you want. Rather, keep an open mind. Listen and be open to the advice they wish to give you. 3. Journaling- another way to meet your animal spirit guide is to have a nice, relaxing bath before you go to bed. Or, drink a cup of chamomile tea before you hit the sheets. Take out a journal and write a letter to your animal spirit guide. Include any questions you have for them. Read it as many times to yourself as you feel drawn to and then close your eyes and go to sleep. Remember to journal any messages or animals that meet you in your dreams.
