I thought that it would be fun to share my daily animal spirit guide cards with you.

I use 2 decks when I work with animal spirit guides, there are many, many different and wonderful decks out there, but the ones that are near and dear to my heart are the Power Animal Oracle Cards by Steven Farmer or Medicine Cards by Jamie Sams & David Carson. The cards help me to focus and receive guidance for what I need to know for the day.

Today’s Power Animal Oracle Card….Horse

What does this card mean to me? Letting your inner being, your inner spirit run wild and free. Embrace and KNOW our own power as creators of or own lives, and to honor it. Run free, do things that make your heart sing! That make your pulse pound with the unknowing and the unpredictability that life brings your way.

So….What does Horse mean to you?

I love working with and helping others to learn how to work with Animal Spirit Guides. So, I thought that it would be fun to share some of the ways that I do that, as well as to share my cards with you.

I will be doing DAILY postings on my NEW Facebook Fan Page,  and then doing WEEKLY postings HERE of the cards that I choose, and then sharing them with you.

So going to BOTH of my sites will help you get more familiar with working with and learning about these fantastic decks. You can also post here what YOU think the animal cards mean to you. The more people bringing in their perceptions, the more meanings we can discover and see how one animals can mean so many different things.

Let’s get started!

This Week’s Medicine Card….Badger

What does this card mean to me? Badgers are known to be aggressive. I feel that this card means going after what you want with abandon, but don’t lose your head in the aggressiveness of what you are doing.  If you do,  you will not see what is right in front of you.
Or I feel it could also mean that you need to find a softer approach to what is desired, that backing off and allowing things to happen is just as powerful as going after it.

So…What does Badger mean to YOU?

Next week I will pick from Dr. Steven Farmer’s amazing Power Animal Oracle Card Deck

Recently, I had the pleasure of teaching a 4-week workshop entitled “Discovering Your Animal Spirit Guides, A Journey Within”
For me it was an absolutely fantastic experience. The energy from the students, the questions, the discoveries that we shared over the 4 weeks became better and better as the workshop progressed.
To see you (my students) becoming more and more comfortable and opened to your guides was a gift that I will never forget.

Many of my students told me that you were sad that the workshop had to end, because they had looked forward to the camaraderie and sharing of each other experiences and encounters. They had been sharing with me your encounters and dreams and I think that it is time that they were shared like we did in the workshop.

I THOUGHT that this post should be only for my students in the class, but then I had an idea… Why not put up a post where everyone can come and write about encounters, dreams, and perceived messages from their Animal Spirit Guides. After all the saying is “The More the Merrier!” This post will be for the students of my Spirit Guide Workshop and for YOU, the public,  to come and share all of  your wonderful dreams, experiences and encounters with Animal Spirit Guides.

A Bouncing Off Place… This is also a place to bounce ideas and thoughts about what a message, encounter, or dream might mean for someone else who has left it here to be thought upon.  It can also be a place where you the public can leave your encounter and my students can come and give you their insights into what they think your animal spirit guide encounter might mean.

It is such an amazing feeling to find a group of people and be able to talk, and share about this marvelous world and the extraordinary Animal Guides that teach us all so much,  if we just open ourselves to it.

So to the public and to my students I hope that this is something that you will enjoy doing and using,

now … let’s get to sharing

Animals can often give messages to us through signs…
BUT…
The signs or messages are not ALWAYS as easy for us to read as THESE are!

OK I just wanted to have a little fun with this subject!

There are however many signs and messages being sent to us every single day, and we are at times not open to receiving them.

That’s because we may be too busy being human-doings to see a lot of the signs or messages that the Creator and the animals are sending our way.

So, learning to read and intuitively interpret what they are telling us can help to answer many questions that we may be sending forth to the Creator or Universe.

On a daily basis no matter where you are living, animals messages can be found. A person does not always have to be in nature to receive messages or to see signs from animals. If for instance, you are living in a City environment, don’t worry; the animals are sending messages to you there too! It just takes tuning in a little to become open so that the messages from your guides or animals around you can flow more easily to you. It is simply a matter of paying more attention, to what is happening around to see all the guidance and signs you are receiving.

When interpreting signs from animals it is something that is done through the heart. An opening of the heart is a must if you are wanting to begin to see the signs that are being sent. During the day I do a quick and easy exercise to open my heart and mind, this can be done as often as you feel the need to.
It helps me to clear any blockages that I think might be cutting of my connection to the animals or my higher self.

Quick & Easy Way To Open Your Heart Connection
First, I sit quietly in a chair
Next, I take 4 deep breaths. Now, 4 is a sacred number for me, it might help you to pick a number that is important for you, this will make the visualization more meaningful for you.
Hold each breath for 4 to 5 seconds (or for as long as it is comfortable for you) and then slowly release it, like I am blowing out a candle.
With each breath I release, I see myself blowing out any blockages or doubts that are in my mind or that I might be feeling.
If there is a specific place on my body (for example: my stomach is tied in knots or my shoulders are tense) then, when I blow out the breath, I take the breath IN from the place of tension and then blow out and as I am blowing out I focus on that area ad the release the breath and blow OUT through the place of tension.
So, as I am blowing out, the tension flows out of the body with the breath.

Now notice how good that feels!

This process slows down my heart, breathing and it calms me.
The blowing out the blockages, gives the feeling that I am actively doing something that is releasing my blocks.
After the 4th breathe, (r how ever many breaths it takes for you.
I then breathe normally and deeply.
Then, I bring my attention to my heart area, and I envision small doors in front of my heart,
Have fun with this part!
The doors can look however you want them to.
They can be French Doors, or Glass Doors, or they can be made from Silver or Gold, and as ornate as you would like.
Next, I envision these doors opening outward.
I take a few moments to feel how GOOD that feels, for me there is always a small release of tension at this point because I am totally opening myself to the Universe.
There is no “holding back”, it can be quite a freeing feeling.

Then, I say or think, something that tells my guides and the Universe that I am ready to receive their messages.
There is no “Set” sentence here, just go with whatever feel right to you.
For example:
“I am open to all your teachings and signs, I am opened to all guidance, because it is all for my greater good”

With your heart opened in this way, you will begin to see the signs and messages throughout the day. Once the heart is opened you will be amazed at the signs you begin to see almost immediately.
The signs and messages, can be something as simple as someone all of sudden talking to you about an animal. Hearing a song that is about an animal.
Taking a walk and finding something from and animal. Many of these are sign that are being left for you by the animals and the universe.
Once you begin to see the signs, you can start the process of interpreting.

Interpreting Your Signs and Messages
Ask the animal or your inner being what are your trying to tell me go with the first thing that resonates with you, this is using your intuition, which we all have and all use.

This is all done intuitively, the more you do it the easier it will become, and the feeling of being connected it unspeakable. Now because everyone’s experience’s and outlooks are different one sign can mean something to one person and another thing to another person. This is personal thing, ask what does this mean to YOU.

Be patient.
be opened.
remember to have fun with it.
and just be willing to see what the Universe is sending to you.

Guidance is just an open heart away.

I received this communication from a spectacular red-tailed hawk on July 26th 2008. The hawk circled 4 times 20 feet above my head, then soared further and further up into the sky.

I remember that I had a lot of things on my mind that day (don’t ask me what, thankfully I have since forgotten them all!) but I do remember having worry, doubts and feelings of being overwhelmed coming up.

As he was flying this is a communication that I received…

“You need to see things from another perspective, you needed to get away from the situation so that you can focus and see clearly, yes, it was indeed a good idea to go for a walk.”
“What should I do?” I said.
The hawk went on “Look at things in your life from on high, try to gain flight and trust that the wind will carry you to where you need to go.”

“Trust, yes that IS a bit of a challenge of late” I said.
The hawk continued.. “I trust, you must learn to trust, not only in the Creator, that is not a problem for you. You need to trust in YOURSELF and what YOU can accomplish and achieve. You said that the Wakan Tanka part of you (I say this when I do my morning greeting of the day).

But you also said that YOU are part of WANKAN TANKA, that was truth! THAT is why we are here.”(I learned a few weeks later what he meant by this statement).
My hawk teacher then said “You are ready to go to the next stage, but if you want to get to the next stage, you must know that to doubt, to worry, to regress to fear, is to doubt yourself, but in doing so you doubt the Creator, you fear the Creator and you worry what the Creator will do. Since we are all connected and a part of the Creator, then you doubt all.”

Suddenly, I felt a door opening somewhere in my mind, I understood! Immediately all those other feelings left me and I felt happy, elated and free! I felt like I was flying, I told how I felt to my hawk teacher.
He then said to me….

“Envision yourself flying when you start to doubt or worry.

That is what the Eagles were telling you when you were kayaking last week on the Lake. Spread your wings and jump, feel yourself flying and trusting and knowing that you will be ok no matter what. Let yourself go and take your power and your strength and fly with them.”

I never forgot that day and what that wonderful being taught me. I now pass on this knowledge to you.
