When was the last time you felt truly connected to the deepest part of who you are?
When was the last time you danced, and felt truly empowered by the world around you…and the world within you?
It’s easy to forget who we are, the person we wanted to be, the things we wanted to do, the places we wanted to go.
Sometimes we just get swept along in life’s current, struggling to navigate it’s twists and turns.
I began my shamanic journey without really knowing where I was going. All I knew was I needed to shift my energies and find something new.
I was intrigued by a workshop a friend of mine introduced me to called: The Way of the Shaman. I signed up for it, and trusted it would lead me to where I needed to go.
What that workshop did for me was give me some incredible tools to help deal with some of the issues I was struggling with. One of those tools was called a ‘journey’ to meet a power animal.
It was a powerful experience for me, because our power animal is our spiritual support, a way of guiding and empowering me on my spiritual journey. Finally, I began to feel I was on my way home again.
Fully understanding how to work with my power animal was truly a revelation, and it has helped me deepen my sense of self, live a life in a more universally connected way, and embracing all of who I am…stepping outside the familiar, and discovering other ways to create and develop my own inner sacred landscape.
I particularly remember reconnecting with my childhood dreams...believing I could be, or do anything I wanted… having the curiosity and the courage to embrace all of who I am. I could see it was all possible now.
As I began to work more closely with my power animal, I could see how I was being guided along a new path of self discovery, learning more about who I am, and the nature of my truth.
My power animal has been assisting and supporting me for many years now, in my healing and journeying work.
As I continue to deepen my shamanic practice I’ve been gifted with other power animals, and my relationship with each of them continues to deepen, become richer and more expansive as we journey together.
Power animals work through us on a spiritual level, guiding and protecting us, providing healing, and giving us a deeper understanding of the power within each of us as we follow our shamanic practice.
When we’re fully empowered, a new you is revealed, and the world opens in new and wonderfully expansive ways.
