Finding Your Power Animal

Think about animals to whom you've always been attracted - and remember that "animal" includes birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects.

* Do you collect owls?
* Draw pictures of dragons?
* Live for the sight of horses?
* Swear that you would never want to live without a cat? (I believe that Cat is one of the most popular (and certainly one of the most accessible) power animals, closely followed by Dolphin and Wolf.)
* What animal do you feel is most like you?
* If you could be an animal what would you most want to be?
* What would you least want to be?
* Are there animals you dream about regularly?

If none of the above questions produce any inspiration, or if what you come up with doesn't feel quite right be open to and affirm that your power animal(s) (there may well be more than one) will show themselves to you soon.

* Before you go to sleep each night ask for your power animal to appear.
* Make the same request while in meditation.
* Be aware of the animal images you see in the course of the day.
* Someone sent you a card with a picture of a wolf? There's a special on the wolves in Yellowstone National Park on TV? This may be worth investigating.
* If you live in an area where wildlife abounds see who the most frequent visitors are.
* Which birds come most often to your feeder?
* Take out books on animals, preferably with pictures, from the library, and see whether any of them stir feelings within you.

You can also choose power animals based on qualities you would like to have in your life. For a listing of animals and their qualities, you can visit this post: Animal Symbols in Magic

Above all, be patient. You may be just opening up to the idea that animals have something to teach you. Your relationship with one will flower in its time, and you may find as you grow and evolve that your power animals change.
