FINDING YOUR ANIMAL GUIDE MEDITATION.
Start to relax take some cleansing deep breaths and let the days tension leave your body start to calm your mind, relax. Now imagine you’re at the base of a tunnel, dimly light and slanted upward Imagine your astral body (or your soul) standing up from your physical body and begin to walk toward and into the tunnel.
See the lights on the walls and the texture of the floor as you walk through the tunnel. Imagine yourself moving upward.
Just ahead you see the opening to the tunnel and as you reach the top, you realize you are standing on a ledge high above your town. You feel propelled to raise your arms and step off the cliff.
At the very second you leave the cliff, your astral body morphs into a beautiful bird and you begin to fly westward toward the Tasman Sea. Imagine the landscape passing below you, the mountains, rivers, forests and deserts. Imagine your soul flying over The Southern Alps and out over the Tasman Sea. Now turn your wings a little to the north, flying toward the centre of the northern pacific.
As you travel over the water you see in the distance an island. It's not a terribly big island, but it's large enough to hold a tall dormant volcano which now has a great water fall spilling into a clear pool at its’ base. Now dip your wings slightly and make your way to the edge of that pool.
As you step onto the island under a large shade tree, you instantly morph back into your human soul form. Look around and see the soft carpet of moss under your feet, listen to the crashing soothing sounds of the waterfall, take in a deep breath and smell the fresh flower sweetened air. This is the Island of the Animal Kingdom. Every animal that has ever existed lives on this island or in the pool of water before you.
Now imagine yourself sitting under this tree on the moss, next to the pool of water. Get very comfortable and prepare yourself for another internal meditation on this island. Imagine yourself going into a meditation state.
Call your animal guide and ask them to come and make themselves known to you. Imagine yourself getting as relaxed as possible. As soon as you’re ready, imagine yourself opening your eyes. The first image you see before you is your animal spirit.
Either on the land or in the water, the animal makes itself known to you.
The remainder of this meditation is up to you. You can ask their name, ask them what lessons you have to learn from them. Ask them what strengths and/or weaknesses they bring to you. Ask them how they can help you combat these weaknesses. And ask them how you can call on their strengths to help you during stressful situations or when ever you need a little extra energy.
You’ve got 7 minutes ......
When you have concluded your visit, make sure you thank them deeply for their gift of service and protection to you. Thank them for coming here during this meditation to meet you and/or visit with you. Give them a goodbye hug.
Time to come back now .......... imagine yourself lifting your arms and morphing back into the bird spirit. Fly back over the ocean, across the Tasman once more to The Alps, over fiords, forests, lakes and rivers. Back to the tunnels edge. As soon as you step down on the tunnel you morph back into your human self again.
Imagine yourself walking back into the tunnel and heading back down to your meditative space. Imagine your soul walking through the door to your room, and seeing your physical body right where you left it.
As your soul steps back inside your spiritual body, all the visions sensations and answers you received merge with your physical brain and are automatically stored into your conscious mind.
Take in a deep breath, begin to feel your body, become more and more aware of your surroundings, have a nice long and hard stretch, then drink some water. Welcome back to the land of the living.
