DISCOVER YOUR POWER ANIMAL

Find a shamanic drumming track on Youtube – the drumbeat helps to create a meditative state. Prepare your room by turning off the lights. Now lie down and get comfortable. Protect yourself by imagining your whole body in a bubble of white light.

You are ready to begin the meditation…

1. State your intention and say, ‘I am going to journey to the lower world to meet my power animal. I ask for Spirit to help me.’

2. Listen to the drumbeat, feel your body relax. Let all tension fall away from your limbs.

3. Now, see a large, mature tree with roots in a forest. This tree can be one that you know in real life or one in your imagination.

4. You notice a hole in the ground by one of the tree’s roots. You watch as the earth falls away and creates a bigger hole, The hole is large enough for you to enter feet-first.

5. As you enter the earth, you fall into darkness, travelling down deeper and deeper. You are safe as you travel downwards through lower earth.

6. As you come to a stop, you find yourself in a tunnel. Walk along the tunnel and see a doorway.

7. Step into a room – how does it look? Take a moment to observe your surroundings.

8. Out of the darkness an animal comes towards you. Turn away from the animal.

9. If the animal approaches you again ask, ‘Are you my power animal?’ Repeat the question three times.

10. The animal should respond ‘yes’ three times. Sit with the animal and feel its energy and qualities – it may have a gift or message for you.

11. When you hear the drumbeat quicken, you are ready to return. Thank your power animal and ask, ‘Do you wants to return with me?’
