Welcome to Gaia! ::

I am on the hunt for quizes that help you to find your Animal Spirit Guides (or totems)
but so far the only one I found didn't work and kept giving me an error message.

The only thing I have found was a similar verson to the meditation I posted in another thread. Here is the other version I found



Sit on the floor or lay comfortably in your bed and totally relax. Close your eyes, breathe deeply and slowly, and allow all of your muscles to completely relax. Now visualize your Crown Chakra (which is located on top of your head or just above it – and is a large orb filled with the most divine white energy/light). Once you have your Crown Chakra visualized quite clearly, next visualize a chord of this very same light/energy flowing from your Crown Chakra down through the top of your head, traveling down along your spine, all the way down through to the Earth. Visualize this energy moving down even further, deep to the core of the Earth and connecting with it. Feel the warm energy of the Earth flowing through your body and feel its power increasingly strengthen you. Allow this energy and power to surge through your entire body: your arms, legs, fingers, toes, and so on. Allow the energy and power to build within you, until you create a slight “energy/power cocoon” that envelops your entire body (this should be seen as a slight aura (or energy field if you will) made of the similar energy that is now flowing through you – emanating approximately an inch or two in thickness from all around your body). Once you have visualized this, you may now allow the darkness behind your eyelids to envelop you.

Visualize a white light shining up ahead of you. Begin to visualize yourself walking toward this light. As you get closer, notice that you are walking towards a doorway to another realm. Interesting... What does that door look like to you? What is it made of? When you open this door, look out and see a beautiful, lush forest and step out onto the ground. Take in your surroundings: look at the trees, shrubs, grass, weeds, flowers, etc. Are there any streams or rivers around? Walk around to enjoy and explore everything that is surrounding you. As you look ahead of you, you see a pathway through the trees. Visualize yourself stepping onto the path and beginning to walk slowly. Walk a while, and then pause. Then listen carefully and wait. Soon you may see your animal guide approach you. Take as much time as necessary … until your guide finds you. When you see this animal, speak with him or her. Ask any question you might have in mind – perhaps even ask him or her what their name is. Or, maybe you just want to say hello at this point. It is your decision.

When your animal guide motions to you that your meeting is finished, politely thank him or her and say goodbye (my first meeting with one of my guides I gave him the biggest hug!). But please, also make sure that you promise your guide that you will return once again (in order for your relationship to flourish with your guide you do need to make it a common practice).

Walk slowly back to the doorway you passed through and visualize yourself walking back through it. Step into the darkness once again, and see another light up ahead. Walk to the light, and visualize it slowly enveloping you and surrounding your entire body. Once the light surrounds you, you may then open your eyes. At this point your journey is complete. I would then perhaps take the opportunity to write down all that you saw, all that was perhaps said between you and your guide. Anything that you feel was quite significant … write it down. Because if it doesn’t make much sense to you now, it just might later on down the road!

How do you know if you have an animal spirit guide? Can you have more than one? I don't really know much about this but I've always felt close to elephants and owls. People who don't know this have compared me to them as well. But I find when I am really upset I need a hamster. I think it sounds really odd - they are all very different animals. Wouldn't they would have trouble relating to each other? You can probably guess I'm pretty confused generally but I feel that these animals are important for me right now. Can you shed any light on this for me?

That's amazing! You've made things a whole lot clearer for me. I'm going to have to have a think about what this means for me. Many thanks and blessings heart

How do you know if it's really an animal guide, or if you even have one? It concerns me that I might just be imagining a whole thing, that I'm answering for the animal.
