Power Animal Retrieval ​This Shamanic technique will connect you to an animal guide, known as a messenger or spirit guide. A power animal is characterized as a teacher or messenger that comes in the form of an animal. It is believed that you do not choose the guide, but rather it chooses you. The animal is there to provide "medicine" to the recipient in the form of guidance, lessons, protection, power and wisdom. Shamans worldwide have relied on the guidance, wisdom of spirit animals for thousands of years. Power animals come in and out of our lives to give us guidance and teach us aspects of our lives. While I perform this Shamanic technique I will ask a power animal to come forward. The one that comes forward is there to help you on your path. Perhaps for a specific occasion , a particular phase in your life, or for a task that needs completed. The animal that comes forward will be unique to you and what you need. You can have one or several spirit animals throughout your lifetime. They can come in and out of our lives to give us guidance, teach us about ourselves, and help us achieve our goals. The power animal will act as a companion that you can learn to journey and meditate with and who you can ask to bring guidance or simply to walk with you on your path.
