Here, There and Everywhere!

In the middle of a channeling session, my Spirit Guide, Stephen, said to my client “I will be with you to help you”.

Afterwards I thought “Whaaat? Wait a minute. Stephen is my guide, how can he be somewhere else? Especially when I can feel him with me all the time????”

Oh, how naïve I was at first. I was attributing human characteristics to Spirit. We can’t be in two places at once so I figured they couldn’t either. Thankfully they didn’t laugh at my ignorance.

Just like Spirit isn’t bound to any particular form (see my earlier blog about this), Spirit isn’t bound to time or place, either. While Spirit visits us in our dimension, they aren’t bound by our conventions.

A spirit can be in many places at once.

For example, my Mom watches over my siblings, my nieces and me. She doesn’t divide her time between us; rather she is with each one of us at all times.

Spirit can also guide more than one person at a time.

They may show up in similar form and using the same name – like the Archangels – or they may take different names based on what the person needs.

Once one of my friend’s Guides, Harold, showed up as one of my client’s Guides but gave his name as Alex. I was rather surprised at the time. When my friend and I asked Harold about it, he explained that he has many facets and shows the side of himself that is needed by the person he is with. And that he may take a different name especially for that person.

I’m no longer bothered that Stephen is with others. In fact, I’m glad to know that they are receiving his help. He’s taught me how to truly share 😉

If you have read our past blogs, we blogged about how we all have a Spirit Guide(s). We also explained what a spirit guide is. Now we want to add Animal Totems to the mix.

An Animal Totem is another type of a Guide we have with us throughout our lives. The purpose of the animal totem is different for each person. With this one animal a connection is shared, either through interest in the animal, dreams, or other interaction.

Webster’s Dictionary defines a totem as: “A natural object, usually an animal that serves as a distinctive, often venerated emblem or symbol. A means of personal or spiritual identity.”

A totem is a spirit being, sacred object, or symbol of a tribe, family or individual. Tradition of the Native American states that each person is connected with nine different animals that will accompany each of us through life, acting as guides.

Different animal guides come in and out of our lives depending on the direction that we are headed and there are different tasks that are need to be completed along our life journey. Thus, different animal guide for our different progress through life.

These Animal Guides offers power and wisdom to us all when we “communicate” with them, and we show them respect and trust. These animal totems are there for us to take journeys with them to get to know them and in return they help us along the way. They help pave the path and help guide us with a clear vision.

For some, knowing what is their totem animal is almost an innate process. It’s as if they’ve always known or had a connection to a particular animal and they just feel a connection to them.

Some people are curious to know about their animal totem and see a spiritual teacher or Intuitive to help them discover their animal.

Once you know your animal guide and their reasoning for them being present in your life at that time, you can use them to help you with your journey.

If you are aware of your guide there are many great books and website that have the meaning of the different animal totems. It truly is wild to see the meaning and put it in prospective with what is going on in your life and what you need at that time.

It’s so reassuring how we have so much support and guidance when all we have to do is just ask!
