Ask your power animals or animal guides for help

• 

  
  

• 
  

• Power animals or animal guides can show up in your life when needed. According to nature religions and shamanism each person has at least one core power animal. This animal is here for you throughout your life and his unique qualities can be applied to live a more inspired life. The animal guide can be an animal that shows up for you when in need of that specific quality. That's what this information is about; the temporary animal. 
  
  Here to teach 

• You may feel a sudden attraction to this animal and/or you may start seeing it everywhere. On TV, magazines or in real life of course. If you have been noticing a recent drawn to an animal see if you can connect with it a little more. Read up on it, watch videos on it on YouTube or listen to the sounds it makes. You may very well need this instinct at current. 

• 
  

• Connect to your animal

  Once you can grasp the animals qualities a little more, see if you connect to the animal by mind through meditation. Quiet your mind, center yourself (feel present in your body) and ask your guides to watch over you or place a protective stone on your body. Now drift of in mind towards the habitat of this animal and start seeing it through your mind. Next make contact and ask if it's okay if you can see through his eyes. If it's a yes then visualize yourself in its body. 

• 
  

• Now you can travel the invisible realms. See what you notice and feel and ask how you can apply this in your life. It's quite likely you will encounter a very different type of quality from this animal than what you thought it would be based on reading up.

• 
  When done exploring gracefully thank the animal and find your way back to your body. Move hands and fingers so you can fully ground into yourself and the present moment again. Journal on your insights.

• 
  Animal guides show up to support you when it's difficult, to teach you new skills or spin you into a different type of action among other things. Enjoy.

Six tips to live authentically

Now there's nothing wrong with exploring the fields, the sites, all opposite directions and whatever you feel like examining. However if there's something you truly desire, something that feels so right for you, but you just keep tucking it away deeply, because of many reasons, like what others may think or that's not how it is supposed to go, chances are you are d-touring.

You may very well end up moving around what you love most or what resonates so well with you. Don't go in roundabout directions, since it's taking up precious time and on a certain level it's denying who you are.

How can you be more true to yourself?

1. Be very clear to yourself about what you feel is right for you (even if you are still exploring. It's normal & ongoing).

2. This is why Oprah states to surround yourself with supporting people. Share with the ones who support you, are open to your ideas and let you be who you are. Especially if you are exploring a new area for yourself it's essential.

3. Remember that the only approval you need is from yourself. You will not be able to shift everyone's perspective or make them understand yours.

4. There's ALWAYS information on what you think/feel/experience. Which means there are communities, mentors, etc. to help you along. Find them. Often you just don't know these ideas, lifestyles, etc. exist.

5. Recognize and honor your own fears & insecurities and work with them kindly.

6. Try to create or be in an environment where your beliefs and values can expand and not where they are suppressed.So you can for example create a personal space for your work or join a group exploring similar talents you want to use, etc.

Fear while changing your life: 8 tips on dealing with it

I'm sure that there are people out there with nerves of steel, making changes like they are cooking up their breakfast. But generally when you are really getting out of your comfort zone it will give you anxiety for a while.

Leaving your comfort zone. What to expect and how to deal with it. 

1. So, you made up your mind and chose to take an action that truly transforms your life. Yay you! And then all of a sudden all your nerves are instantly tensed. You feel like you are in a sudden crash and disaster is lurking at every corner. First realize that this feeling normal. This does happen when you are walking unknown paths. Don't try to suppress it but let it come up completely. Let it become as big as it has to be with all your worse case scenarios. Just let it out.

2. This is of course VERY uncomfortable. It general is a feeling that stays with you for a few days (on and of) and can 'hit you' sometimes a full day. If it's too much just be kind to yourself and remember that it's new and you will adjust to it.

3. Sometimes you can choose to pop a herbal pill, like Avena Sativa or a magnesium supplement.

4. Tapping (EFT) is a great way to work through fears. There are many videos on how to do that on you tube. It basically "rewires" the energy in your body and it uses acupressure points. If you are stressed now, notice how stroking or softly tapping on the top of your head instantly helps you calm down.

5. Continue business as usual. Really, don't get too much into this feeling, but try to stay firmly on track.

6. Planning helps, especially if you are a planning king or queen, but also know you can't plan every detail. Affirmation: I release the need to control.

7. If you are in the pre-stage of making changes it can help to do activities that are way out of your comfort-zone (I once spend two days on a wooden raft in the middle of nowhere, alone, for a spiritual magazine article on comfort zones & silence. Although it became a fun article, there are easier and more comfortable ways of getting iin touch with yourself)

8. Yay! How great is it you are taking these steps!! Remind yourself that in each moment you can choose to work with changes. You are in charge of your life. You are capable!

Personal development: 9 tips on dealing with stress

When feeling high strung there's no fun in going through your day. You feel like you are behind with everything or easily snap when something out of routine happens. Not a fun place to be in. I'm very sensitive to stress due to hyperthyroidism and in the past I chose to work in the most pumped up environment as a journalist. So stress management and being balanced is a major priority. Not to mention I need to be focussed and calm when reading the tarot cards.

So how should to deal with stress? Here's a few of my tricks:

1. It's an open door, but exercise and scheduling time in for yoga in the morning (!) makes a huge difference. Even if you just take 20 minutes. Do it daily and you'll just smile in a zen way when the office floods, your computer crashes and there's a small fire in the kitchen. Breathe and feel centered.

2. Magnesium. This mineral is a natural calmer helping the nerve system.

3. If this is already too late & you are feeling stressed RIGHT NOW: you have to stop what you are doing. Recognize you are feeling the nerves. This can be very hard to do, because you are in a hurry. You want to stop, look around slowly, be aware of where you are, think of the room you are in, the surroundings, the city/village and feel you are part of a whole. Then draw the attention back to you, feel your body. It doesn't matter how fast the world is going, try to see you as the center of your universe. You are allowed to be present in the moment.

4. Plan. Sit down and take that time to at least see your daily schedule. Walk through your day. This may calm you. If it doesn't then write down in your planner you will have a severe look at your schedule. It may be too much and needs adjusting.

5. Stress makes our aura tight. Chances are you only look at what's near by you. If you are walking on the pavement try looking ahead/the horizon/looking at the full road and relax your shoulders.

6. There's many great sprays and precious stones that you can take with you to help you stay centered.

7. But it starts with being honest to yourself about what stresses you. Sometimes a different environment or handling situations in a different way help. I love Sunday morning walks in the city when it's quiet and obviously rush hour on a Monday isn't my idea of fun. You can often take a train/bike ride/go by car earlier than the crowd. I used to start an hour early when I worked at a magazine and it was simply bliss. Avoiding the feeling of being a sardine in a can and I got stuff done. I was also allowed to leave an hour early. So talk it through with your employer if this could be a solution for you. 

8. Don't make any major decisions when you feel like this.

9. You are allowed right now to care for yourself. You are of most importance. You are loved and worth it. 

Personal development: Surrounding yourself with the right people & The Hierophant effect

When you start exploring your personal path and what it is that rings truth to you, you will eventually start moving away from the usual crowd. Why is that? Look at The Hierophant tarot card. I adore the higher vibration of it, that of a spiritual teacher, but it also shows dogmatic and conservative thinking at times. Things are done in a certain way and you best live up to that expectations. It’s a card of the mass, or in that respect, that of the sheep following the herd.
But what if you now discovered that you are IN THE WRONG herd?
Bloody hell, how to get out of that one? And should you?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recommendation: I adore the book "Women who run with the wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes." The story of the little duckling depicts the feeling of 'not fitting in' very well. Finding your soul family and supporters is tremendously important. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway, back to you being in the wrong herd. The minute you are going to start exploring and start to think differently than the crowd, this will envoke resistance. Instead of them supporting you in the individual process, they will start telling you ‘to not have silly ideas’, and ‘best approach this realistically’ and what on earth are you thinking anyway?

Not very helpful and might even shut you down in years, thinking: ‘I am silly’. ‘It can never happen’ and more of those defeating lines.
I once had a horrible date where it went wrong from the first minute we met (he was working in the law department), and I said something along the lines of ‘well, we are all individuals with our own talents...’ In which he started telling me how WRONG I was and did I not know my history and how wars were started and that people cannot think for themselves and how we are all sheep...! It went downhill from there.

I think it’s a great example of the split we make between being ourselves and believing in all we have to offer (because you do!), versus what the mass beliefs and wishes of fitting into society. I belief we are all authentic creatures and are capable of living a blessed, creative life that comes from our inner core and who we are. There are really always people who do feel like you do and do love to get their heads above the corn field!

Coloured Scottish Sheep 

What you need is people who support you in your exploring of the world. I’m not saying you need to ditch all your current friends, but if you notice they only slam your ideas and plans down, then do not share all of it until it’s done or put into the world or you are secure enough about yourself and talents to discuss it and stand your ground. It will discourage you and make you belief you indeed are ‘small’ and you have no ability to change your life and shine from the inside if you don't get the encouragement. So just protect yourself & mind your personal boundaries (4 of pentacles). 

So if you are exploring something new (be it creative endeavours, dreams of publications with your name on it, finding out about new belief systems & exploring, getting into the spiritual life or wanting to dance naked under the moon), make sure you attract and be with people who are also into this or are open to you. They will help you grow, make you feel confident and give you the feeling you can be exactly who you want to and that it is all good. And it is!

Good luck J
