About Power Animals

About Power Animals Image
Power animals are great advice givers, often representing our higher selves that we haven't been paying attention to lately. In a meditative state you can ask for their assistance on problems that have been nagging at you. Sometimes, if they want to, two power animals might work in conjunction with each other.

Power animals can assist you in the waking state as well. Perhaps you are trying to teach someone a particular theme and they are having difficulty understanding. Power animals are not limited to mammals. The reptilian and insect kingdoms can be just as helpful.

* Ask wolf for assistance; she is the great teacher.
* Remember the old adages: clever as a fox, strong as an ox, etc.
* Perhaps you need camouflage - then ask Brother Fox for assistance.
* If you seek wisdom, ask the Eagle.
* Lynx knows the art of keeping secrets.
* Swan guides one into dreamtime.
* Panther is a good protective animal, though she does have a sarcastic, laid back nature.
* Dragonfly tells us how to break through illusions & how to gain power through our dreams and goals. She teaches higher aspiration.

Children can also be taught to work with animals and have a great ideal of success with them.

The energy of the animals, birds and other creatures that assist us should be honored. For too long, we have subjugated these creatures who are our equals in the system of the Universe. The act of honoring an animal is not an act of worship, but is the acknowledgment of their power and their being as brothers and sisters of the entire universe.

When honoring - leave a gift of some sort. The Native Americans leave tobacco as a gift, scattered on the ground. You could also burn incense in honor of the animal. You might also consider donating to The Nature Conservancy, World Wildlife Fund, or other organization committed to the preservation of our wild family.
