The animals may also send you telepathic messages (for example, you might see a skunk in your mind's eye when you need to define and/or assert your personal boundaries) or they may visit you in their spirit form in your nightly Dreamtime when it is impossible for them to visit you in the outer world. Animals feel intense emotions and often experience profound sadness when humans treat them unkindly or cruelly. This is registered in the morphic field of their group consciousness as well as their personal consciousness. When I attune to the horse lifestream, for instance, I feel such deep heart pain and abiding grief over the abuse they have undergone at the hands of their often harsh and callous caretakers, along with the visual recordings of those horrific incidents, that I have to quickly withdraw from their group morphic field. Since it is the blunt truth, Horse Speak is not always pleasant to listen to, especially for those sensitive to criticism; but, such beautiful animal friends who have served others so faithfully and companionably for so long deserve to be heard.
Animal Totems pervade our ancient myths, scriptures, and oral traditions.
Primal universal archetypes manifest in the earthly spheres through the actions,
characteristics, and behavior of animals. Cultural legends portrayed a strong
linkage between animals, Deities, and humans. This connection was often depicted
as pictures or statues of gods and goddesses with animal heads, accompanied by
animal totems or in the form of their primary power animals.
Animal imagery and symbolism has often been used to foster spiritual growth and to guide seekers along the sacred pathways. The knowledge of who your animal totems and power animals are will enhance your understanding of your innermost nature. Besides empowering and protecting you, animals inspire you and help you heal. Although most people have several power animals that remain with them throughout their lifetime, other animals come and go over the years. Some of the reasons for their appearance are: they have something to teach you; you resonate with some quality they possess; they allow you to come to terms with your fears; they are testing your ability to wisely handle one power or another; spirit beings are projecting the imagery of a particular animal into your consciousness in order to guide you; the animal is assisting you with the development of a particular power or magical ability. All the animals are unique. All their interactions with you are important and worthy of your attentive respect. The appearance of a turtle laying her eggs, an alligator gazing intently at you as it slips into a pond at dusk, pigeons conversing soothingly with you when you are emotionally distressed, a pair of mockingbirds pointing out the parasitic tendencies of others, are all blessed occurrences in your daily life. To be the most effective, the power animal must chose the person rather than the other way around. A bumblebee buzzing around you, a dragonfly flying close to your car windshield, a beaver placing its paw up against the glass in greeting as you stare through the enclosure at the zoo, and mourning doves cooing you awake at dawn are not just random events of nature, they are "Encounters of an Animal Totem Kind".
The animals bring you powerful important life messages. Are you taking note of their appearances in
your life? Are you listening to their messages?...
