Whenever I do a Spirit Animal Retrieval for clients, I give them the following information. I've decided to share it here for all of you to see as well:
Spirit Animals can be with us for a REASON, a SEASON, or a LIFETIME. It is possible to have more than one Spirit Animal at any given time. When they’re with us for a REASON: An animal can show itself to you (in real life or in your mind’s eye) to share a lesson with you or to support you. They show up and then leave, never to appear again. If you come across such an animal, a quick search on the internet will reveal its’ meaning to you. If you read something that resonates with you (online or in a book) OR you “feel” a message from that particular animal, THAT is your takeaway. When they’re with us for a SEASON: An animal can show itself to you (in real life or in your mind’s eye) to support you during the next stage of your journey. For example, they might want to support you during the death of a loved one, the birth of a child, the loss of a job, a time of great struggle in your life or a time of great joy. They appear for a period of several months to several years and then fall away when they are no longer needed. When they’re with us for a LIFETIME: An animal can show itself to you (in real life or in your mind’s eye) to support you during your lifetime. These are devoted, loving creatures who dedicate themselves to you, through thick and thin, to support you and to love you. They will never leave your side. The Spirit Animal you are united with during a session with me, could be any one of these animals. With time, you will learn what their role is. To CONNECT with your Spirit Animal: Sit in quiet meditation. Close your eyes and take three, slow, deep breaths. Then breathe at a pace that is comfortable for you. Envision your animal in your mind’s eye. You can ask your animal if they have a name. You can give them a name. Or you can simply call them by their species (eg. BEAR). Once you are sitting quietly with them, ask them any questions you might have. Listen for the answer. Trust the process. If you don’t have a question for them, if you’re just looking to be with a supportive companion, simply sit in meditation with them and know that you are deeply loved. You are not alone. SIDE NOTE: In recent years, various Guides have been showing up for my clients. Oftentimes, the Guide is a Spirit Animal. But other times it is a Nature Being (eg a tree, flower, the wind, etc) or a Supernatural (eg. a dragon, faerie, gnome, phoenix, etc). Regardless of who shows up, the above information still applies.

Just a snippet into this Shamanic Practice...
In Shamanism, “spirit releasing” refers to exorcism (sometimes referred to as 'casting out' or 'depossession'). It often involves a human spirit possessing another human spirit but it can also include geographical locations, physical buildings, and personal items. In a person, a possession might manifest as a chronic headache or a sore knee that never goes away and doesn’t have a medical cause. Some places are more notorious for housing these “suffering beings” such as hospitals or land masses where many people died in a tragic manner (eg. plane crash, war zone, environmental disasters). The word “possession” is loaded and can easily trigger some people (re: images from the Exorcist or stories told in church). But it’s important to note that possessions are actually quite common. Not every soul “crosses over” immediately after death and, when that happens, they’re just floating around looking for a place to settle. During the soul releasing process, I engage the “entity” in a dialogue by which we can help the Spirit cross over to the other side. In this manner, 2 souls are disentangled and can exist, separately, in the appropriate time and place (which is understandably a good thing). Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about this process. Just a snippet into this Shamanic Practice...
Spiritual Intrusions are misplaced energy in the human body. They can be caused by words, thoughts, beliefs, and “poisonous darts” (intentional negative energy directed towards a person). This may result in “stuck” energy in the human body and can manifest as anything from chronic backaches, headaches, and anxiety to cancer and heart disease. When this happens, an Extraction ceremony may be performed. During this ceremony, the Shaman or Shamanic Practitioner removes the energy that doesn’t belong so that the client is freed up to move forward in a good way. The Extraction process varies depending on the country of origin. I’ve seen (and facilitated) ceremonies that include sucking the misplaced energy out with a gemstone egg, a real egg, one’s hands, and via guided meditation. And I’m quite certain there are many other techniques as well. At the end of the day, the energy that doesn’t belong is removed, the space is filled with divine light, and the client is left feeling more at ease in their body. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about this process. Just a snippet into this Shamanic Practice...
Throughout the course of one’s lifetime, we can encounter what’s known as “soul loss” during traumatic or difficult times. This may include (but is certainly not limited to) divorce, surgery, loss of a loved one, a traumatic accident, addictions, abuse, etc. To protect itself from harm, tiny pieces of our soul known as “essences” might choose to detach from our energy body before the event takes place (for self-preservation purposes). The Shamanic Practitioner undertakes a Journey to the spirit realms in an attempt to find these essences and return them home again (if they are ready and willing to return). Shamanism itself was birthed in Siberia but has expanded throughout the globe over the centuries. That being said, there are a number of ways to facilitate and experience this powerful ceremony depending on the teachings, experiences, and culture of the Shaman or Shamanic Practitioner involved. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you might have. As some of you may know, I recently created an area in my studio for the Supernaturals of the Earth. And boy, are they appreciative!
Dragon came to me this morning and took me for a flight over their Kingdom. He told me that everyone there has messages to share with the Human Collective, for those who wish to listen. Just as you might consult a Tarot Card Reader or Astrologer to glean more information about your reality, so too can the Supernatural Sessions provide you with some answers! Contact me with questions or to book an appointment. See less I’d like to begin by briefly addressing the following: everything is energy. Be it our physical bodies, thoughts, emotions, surroundings, etc. Everything has an energetic vibration attached to it. If our life force energy is heavy or dense (due to trauma or chronic stress or poor life choices), the rest of our body can suffer. In Shamanism, we believe that these heavier energies have the ability to impact and alter all aspects of our life. It is, in essence, the root cause of every ailment.
That being said, we don’t want to hold onto these dense energies! We need to release what doesn’t serve us. If we don’t, we can experience any number of ailments from cancer and heart disease to anxiety and depression as well as addiction and abuse. There are a number of ways to do this: For those of you who are more athletically inclined, move your body. Run, bike, swim, hike, cycle, participate in organized sports, workout at the gym, etc. As you do so, visualize the anxiety moving out of your feet as you pound the pavement or out of your hands as you hit the punching bag. Your intention of removing it will make it so. You must believe this. For the rest of you, you’re still going to move that energy out in a physical manner. Drum, rattle, do yoga, pop in an exercise video, go for a nature walk, dance, sing loudly, simply sway from side to side, etc. As you do so, visualize the anxiety slipping from your body and entering the atmosphere. Your intention of removing it will make it so. You must believe this. If you’re concerned that these dense energies will leave your body only to be displaced for someone else to pick up, don’t worry. Set the intention for these energies to be transmuted back into the Light. What does that mean? Here is just one example/visualization (find a process that works for you): if you’re running or dancing, imagine the energy exiting your feet and going into the core of the Earth. It might look muddy or slimy to you. Once it hits the soil, however, it undergoes a metamorphosis. It turns into Divine Light and sparkles and shines. The EARTH has the power to do this. Now, not only has the dense energy transformed into perfect love, it’s become a source of fuel to nourish our planet in a positive way! We’ve simply shifted its’ vibration. Another way to release energy that does not belong in your energetic body is through Ceremony. Ceremonies can be utterly simple or beautifully detailed. There is no right or wrong way of doing a ceremony; what matters most is your INTENTION to release what no longer serves your highest good. Ceremonies usually involve one or more of the elements (eg. fire or water) and I’d highly suggest that you perform them outside (where you can be supported by the energy of this planet). If you want help creating a ceremony for yourself, please reach out and ask me. On a final note, I’d like to touch on “spiritual bypassing”. This term has come to the foreground in recent years and it essentially means this: pretending that everything in your life is perfect and shutting down any “negative” emotions before they come to the surface. Here’s the thing though: if you stifle emotions like anger, sadness, grief, frustration, bitterness, etc…it’s only going to eat you from the inside out. So, what do you do? You FEEL the feeling! Get angry, be sad, express those emotions in an environment where you feel safe and supported. And then, once you’ve moved it out your body completely, LET IT GO! It does not serve you to remain in this emotional state; it will only exhaust you and make you ill (in all of the ways we’ve previously discussed). This might sound like basic information but it’s vitally important. Move the energy out. You are worth it. |
