A POWER ANIMAL GUIDE

A Power Animal is a compassionate energy that comes to support and walk with you in your life.

In the shamanic view, everything is ALIVE, and you can communicate with everything. People, animals, plants, but also minerals, rocks, or elements like water or fire, spirits of place … EVERYTHING!

In the case of Spirit or Power Animals, the positive and helpful energies come in the form of … animals.

Spirit animals bring you their medicine! In general, they offer you strength and power to live the life you want. And each individual Power Animal also offers you his own message: Snake brings you Snake wisdom, Tiger brings you Tiger wisdom, Dolphin that of the dolphins, Wolf that of the wolf …

Listen to your dreams, inquire your meditations, observe the “coincidences” of your life: Power Animals have many ways -sometimes very funny ways, to demand your attention!
