Journey to meet your power animal
In this journey, you’ll travel to the Lower World to meet your power animal, an animal that represents you in your power.
When an animal appears, ask if it is your power animal. If it isn’t, it may be an animal messenger, bringing insight into your current energy or what is happening in your life.
Your power animal may not reveal itself straight away, so be patient and trust the process.

Write down if the guardian said yes or no.
If the guardian said no, then the body needs more time to trust. Be compassionate with yourself and patient with this process. Keep trying and just sit where the guardian points and be ok with being there and peaceful. What can be fun is to look at what kind of archetype you think the guardian is for example, warrior, magician, healer, sage, tribal elder.... etc, what is their feeling ? This all has something to teach you about who you are.
What did your garden look like and feel like
look at the element interpretations for insight around this. This is insight into what your body is currently feeling or going through.
If the guardian said yes that you could visit with your animal, write down the animals message for you. write down what they look like, their personality and any messages or healing that they gave you.
The animal that you got in your journey may be a power animal which represents you and your spirit or it may be an animal messenger for this time. Which represents what you are going through.
