When you see your Power Animal, silently greet it and pose your question. Most often the Power Animal will provide the answer by moving it's body in an unusual way. However, sometimes it may lead you on a journey. The Experiences of the journey will be relevant to your answer.
The first few times you do this, it is best to keep your answers simple so that they may be answered in a "yes" or "no" form. When you become more experienced in Understanding the animal's language, the questions can be more complicated.
You should keep some form of diary in which to record your shamanistic experiences. These you should record as soon as you finish a journey so that the memory is still clear.
You need not wait until you have a problem before you undertake a journey to see your animal guardian. It is beneficial to visit without posing a question. You will find positive things happening in Your Life around such visits.
