Hello and welcome to the lecture on guides, angels and animal totems. When I first started leading meditations many years ago, I thought the idea of guides and angels was sort of cute, you know something for children's storybooks. However, after countless sessions where clients had invoked guides, and had powerful experiences, I began to trust they were real, especially when the results were positive and noticeable. guides can be tremendous, helpful support. I've had more than one client whose healing and transformation didn't really take off until after they discovered their guides. And some of my clients have developed very deep and real relationships with their guides, who provide them with genuine guidance, protection and support.

Animal totems are a little different. They're like angels and guides. But are more directly connected to earth energies. totems carry very specific vibrational energy of the animals they represent, as related to the characteristics and personalities of those animals. Baby can use it for healing, protection, guidance, information, and help in any spiritual situations. If you're interested in learning more about a particular animal Totem, simply do an internet search.

So you type in animal Totem, and then followed by the name of the animal you're interested. So you type in animal Totem and then something like coyote to find out the animal you're interested in, and then all sorts of stuff will pop up on the internet. So I have two animal totems, both of which stem from deeply meaningful encounters. They are the bear and the Canadian goose. In one of the following lectures, I tell the story of how the spirit of the Canadian goose entered my life. It was an overpowering and humbling experience.

So check that out. So in the meditation that follows this lecture, I'll lead you through an experience for you to invoke your guide. The process is actually very easy. While you're deeply relaxed, you'll simply call up and imagine your guide. When they show up, all you have to do is trust that they are real, and are more than willing to help you in whatever it is you ask. Now how your guide shows up will be specifically customized for you.

Perhaps it will show up as a religious figure like Jesus or Buddha. Or maybe it will be a friend or an ancestor who has crossed over to the other side. Or perhaps it will be an animal, a color or a sacred object. Or perhaps it'll be more of a sensory experience like a feeling of movement, or sistent sensation like warmth or tingling or gently buzzing energy, or perhaps your guide will come to you in the form of deep peace. But no matter how your guide presents itself to you, all you have to do is trust the process and recognize them as real. I can't emphasize that enough.

So once they show up, recognize them as real. The more you trust, the greater their influence will be. And then once you've been introduced to your guide, you can begin to develop a relationship with it. Even when you're not in meditation. You can ask for guidance, help and support and what ever area of life you choose. Then all you have to do at that point is learn how to listen.

Okay, that's it for the lecture on spiritual guides. Now, let's go to the meditation and find out who's waiting for you there. I'll see you there.
