dont know my animal thing but i just choose cow
@spring0sun
That’s good 🙂 Like with animals in rl, let them come to you. Don’t try to force anything on them or nothing will ever happen & they’ll run every time they sense you near.
I still have to work on knowing what my totem actually is(even though I’m thinking it’s probably cats seeing how I’ve always been drawn to them & have two of them), but with a house full of people that have believe in a different faith, it’s hard to do so.
@cometmoon I guess I can feel my Animal, I feel that it is not a big size and somwhere around…So probably you are right, just need more time to search for it 🙂
@spring0sun
Next time you do a meditaion to find your totem animal, let them know that you aren’t there to cause them harm, that you seek their guidance. Then, see what happens after letting them know that.
@spring0sun
It might mean that you’re not ready yet.
Even though there seems to be just trees and grass around doesn’t mean that nothing is there. They could be watching you, just out of your sight. They may be curious about you, seeing why you may be where they are, but, yet they may not know how to best approach you, especially if you’re new to the craft.
Whats wrong with me?
I tried to meditate couple of days, using your video and others (also guides for finding your animal spirit or just drums), but the max what I can see is just trees and grass. No animals, no birds or insects…nobody 🙁
This was the first one of these I tried, and I think it’s more to do with being ready. I tried not to? have too many expectations. I have favorite animals and all, but was very very surprised when a Lynx stepped out of the springtime woods, watching me, and sat beside me. When I started to move again, to see if any other animals might come out, Lynx moved silently beside me. There was a rush of birds, I saw a bear and a deer, but only Lynx stayed with me. Then after leaving, I looked this up…
this video helped me a lot. I’ve been having trouble reaching my guide. my guide is a wolf, but every time i see him, his fur changes. this time his fur was green. when i would ask it questions, the wolf didn’t nod or speak to me, the air around me got warm. would that be a sign of a yes? because i waited for a few minutes and no other animals showed up, but at one point the wolf had white markings on his head. im not sure on what these markings mean. would anyone know?
lots of animals flashed through my mind tyhe first and i got connfused and sat up the second time fisrt i got a greyhound it wasnt mine but then i got a huge brown bear and it said it was
Well i met a great deer with beautiful antlers emerge from the trees. Though it wasen’t my animal and i was disappointed. I got mad and sat on that meadow becuase no other animals were around exsept that deer. Sooner or later a grizzaly bear came, that was my totem.
I swear… how many people think there’s is a wolf… whats so great about them anyway!…
the first was a porcupine. later it turns out my animal is a bat 🙂 thank you.
I met a red fox, a snake, a big, fluffy dog like an Alsatian or something, and a red-tailed hawk, all of whom seemed fond of me, but none of whom were my guide. Then I ran into my old friend Gwidion ap Don, who told me it isn’t time yet.
A fox that couldn’t speak, but I knew what he was saying.
This was pretty awesome, thanks!
i already know mine. i saw it in a dream. this lead me to a meadow (in spring) and this white spotted elk appeared and it wasnt necesarilly my totem animal, but more of a sidekick. my real spirit animal is more mysterious. its like a fish thing that lives in an ocean of infinite proportions. no surface, no floor, it just goes forever in all directions. and thats where it lives.
a black cat with a white kind of star shape on it’s forehead. it was a girl and had a nice voice, a kind of telepathic voice. she says she’ll be waiting if i ever need her.
thanks =D
ok something weird happened I did what you said in the beginning and I didn’t even get to the door as soon as I was at my safe place a hawk appeared very closely too ,then I just got lost so I stopped. think I didn’t do it right.
douche
Well, there’s a chance it might be a unicorn, though, it was a little fuzzy. Gotta say, I think it’s the farthest thing from what would have crossed my mind, but it works…
This was really good. Thanks for making it
This helped alot. Thankyou very much 🙂
Thanx for your help CharmingPixieFlora the whole journey helped verify what I already felt-your guided meditation was down to “Mother Earth.”
@NinjaFox97 and lost his spirituality all together, because he recognizes that there is now no man-made religion he can subscribe to, but is only aware that he is unaware of his spirituality. I apologize for the long-winded responses, and any confusion that they might cause
@NinjaFox97 but the first thing i learned is that a need to control the situations one faces in life is one of the roots of suffering, but i digress. as for “hurt you spiritually,” i may have over-phrased that. what i was attempting to convey is that being spiritually ignorant and being semi-aware of your spirituality are the same thing. I have a friend who i attempted to guide through a similar experience, but he likewise was frightened, and stopped just before he reached a revelation
