Psychick Focus >>

I was rumaging through some of my old poems and came across one which I wrote while in London. For my UK friends you may remember this one. Since coming back to Oz I did a flash course and as one of my assignments I had to do a flash version of a poem and this is the one I chose. Hope you like The Journey.

For those of us in Aussieland spring has definitely sprung. Flowers are bloosoming, birds are singing and the animal beings are starting to grow. I thought I would focus this months newsletter on Animal Totems. I must say I have had trouble determining mine until the last night of compiling the newsletter. When I got home this night I was washing the dishes and noticed a pregnant daddy long legs had taken up residence by my sink. I splashed it a bit with some water, and said "you can't stay here miss" and off she went. Later that night my cat who likes to sit on my computer to keep me company (or maybe its just that it warm up there) jumped into pointer dog pose. Usually meaning she has seen a creature a crawling. To my surprise I saw a pretty big spider making a dash across my floor. It all kind of clicked for me. Over the last couple of years I have been in contact with lots of spiders. I checked out the meaning of the spider and I believe now that the spider is my Journey Animal Totem. The journey is long but very rewarding.

Wishing you the joy of finding your Animal Totem.

Animal Totems >>

It is believed that each of us is born with 9 animals who bring teachings and messages for greater understanding and insights for our benefit throughout our lifetime. Two of those animals are permanent and never leave us; they are our primary totems -- sometimes called Power Animals.

Every animal has its own talents. A study of its talents will reveal the kind of medicine, magic, and power it can help you to develop within your own life. Lifelong power animals are usually wild not domesticated, animals. {every animal has its speciality}

The animal chooses the person, not the other way around. Many believe that they can just choose an animal and start communicating with it. Usually ego gets in the way at these times. The individual chooses the animal he or she believes to be most glamorous and powerful, rather than what is harmonious to the individual. The results are ineffective and often frustrating. No animal is worse than any other. Every animal's medicine is unique. You will find the greatest success in the animal that comes to you.

You must develop a relationship with your totem. To communicate with them demands respect. You must learn their point of view. Animals won't just warm up to you immediately. They must learn to trust you and your limitations, and you must learn to trust them and their limitations. This takes time, patience and practice.

You must honour your totem for its medicine to be effective in your life. The more you honour them-the more significance you give them within your life-the more powerful and effective they become. {your imagination is the real link to your totem}
