In numerous polytheistic religions/belief systems we find that spirit animals are a focal point, particularly in Shamanism & Paganism. So for all those who are interested, here is a meditation for finding your animal spirit guide.
However, keep in mind that within the Sumerian beliefs, we do not have spirit guide animals, some Guardians can appear as animals though…if they choose.
- Find a place where it is comfortable for you
- Enter a void state of meditation
- Visualise yourself entering a forrested glade/clearing
- There is a fallen tree log in front of you, sit down on this log and visualise fog rolling through the clearing
- As the fog rolls through, ask to be shown a shape come towards you
- As the shape comes towards you, see the image become clearer and more defined
- As the shape comes into clear view, this is where the meditation guidance ends and the individual takes hold…do what you will with the meditation. You can either end the meditation or continue on, speak to the animal etc
