What Are Spirit Animals?

It is my belief that each of us is endowed in this lifetime with a number of guides – sometimes ancestors or angels, and other times, animals.

These animal guides are also known as spirit animals, and they follow us throughout our lifetimes, sharing their wisdom and magic as they illuminate the path of our Highest Good. Are you attuned to the animal realm? Open your eyes and listen closely; the divine messages that your animal guides hold for you can be found all around. There are several ways to connect with your animal guides. Sometimes, they come to us in dreams – other times, they cross our path in reality. Pay attention to which animal spirits may be trying to contact and guide you, in both the dream world and the waking world. You may also try to connect with your spirit animals in meditation. Simply close your eyes as you draw inward, and ask your animal guide to come forth. You may have several animal guides surrounding you, or you may have just one. My biggest piece of advice in connecting with your animal guides is to trust your intuition – it will not lead you astray. Relax and open yourself up to the lessons these animal spirits are trying to share with you.
