Animals have always been important to humans for food, clothing, and tools. Their spirits have also been important, providing special energies and wisdom to shamans and others who learned to connect with them. They still are important. This pocket reference introduces forty-five spirit animals \u2013 from ant to wolf \u2013 and helps readers discover their <\/span><\/span>gifts<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

These spiritual helpers bring healing, wisdom, strength, companionship, and special energies to those willing to accept assistance from animal energy from other dimensions.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Each of these spirit animals has a two-page spread containing two color photographs, a list of positive key words, paragraphs about how it can help and protect you, and a connection exercise.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A guided journey is provided to meet the spirit animal who will always be at our side. Practices are also offered to find the right power animal for any situation in which we find ourselves. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There are many books on animal totems and spirit animals and each is somewhat different. I notice it when reading about my totem, Spider, especially in the details. Authors <\/span><\/span>Elke Kirchner-Young and Phillip Kansa were a spiritual couple \u2013 he a practicing shaman and she a clairvoyant walking the path of a shaman. That makes me feel comfortable referring to the information, and its handbook size makes it easier to use than many other books. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Elke Kirchner-Young is clairvoyant and walks the path of the shaman. She channels the angel Uriel and is in contact with light-beings and power animals. She has been leading shaman and angel seminars for twenty-one years and is the founder of Soul-Power-Events to support people to find and follow their healing and unique path. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Phillip Kansa was born in the U.S. in 1943 and left his earthly body in 2018. His grandmother was a Native American. As a psychology graduate and a practicing shaman, he worked as a spiritual teacher and consultant for more than thirty years. He was clairvoyant with access to the spiritual worlds. He spoke with his ancestors and was in constant contact with the kingdom of light. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
