Shaman : last week we ended with working with your totems/guardians ect
Shaman : so this week we will continue with that thought
Shaman : Once we have been contacted by our totems or we wish to contact them

WolfofChaos : ty
Shaman : we have to have a firm plan in mind
Shaman : THere are several ways to achieve this
Shaman : one way is to barter with a totem
Shaman : this is a totem not particular to you
Shaman : Some people offer energy in return for assistance
Shaman : this is not a recommended way
Shaman : for the obvious reasons
Shaman : and if you do decide to this
Shaman : make sure you have everything spelled out
Shaman : repeat - have everything spelled out
Shaman : Balance in all things
Shaman : I know you tire of hearing me say it
Shaman : but it is a simple yet profound truth
Shaman : Another way to work with a totem is through gifting
Shaman : leave a gift for a particular animal that you need to work with
Shaman : If you need stealth or cunning
Shaman : feed a fox
Shaman : if you seek wisdon
Shaman : wisdom
Shaman : feed a wolf
Shaman : a messanger
Shaman : feed a hawk
Shaman : That way the totem knows you seek it's help
Shaman : This is way is a lot easier and more condusive to openin a lasting relationship with that totem
Shaman : The third way is when the totem calls you as one of it's own
Shaman : This is of course your primary totem/s
Shaman : These are the ones that will be with you always
Shaman : even when you have others who come and go
Shaman : you can always count on them
Shaman : This is a shamanic and NA truism
Shaman : Bear, Owl and Fox are with me always
Shaman : but I have had help from several others
Shaman : who come when needed
Shaman : Most of us are born with our totems
Shaman : others acquire them at different points in their lives
Shaman : kind of like making a friend
Shaman : they are there when you need them to be
Shaman : at the time you need them to be there
Shaman : How to determine you totem takes some introspection if you want to do it for yourself
Shaman : The simplest way is to think back on a particular animal you have always felt connected to
Shaman : one you were fascinated with as a child
Shaman : (children are more open and therefore have an easier time sensing their totems)
Shaman : What animal did you rush to see when you went to the zoo?
Shaman : what animal made your heart race when you seen it
Shaman : That animal represents the totem you are more than likely associated with
Shaman : Others do a spirit quest
Shaman : to meet their totem
Shaman : this is a sacred ceremony that is different for each of us
Shaman : Some beliefs use natural substances to achieve a receptive state
Shaman : others use deprevation to open the mind and body
Shaman : Some use chanting and drums
Shaman : there is no one way to do this
Shaman : and what each person sees in this time is specifically for them
Shaman : you never pass on all that you have seen
Shaman : it is like a naming ceremony
Shaman : only the one who names you and you know what it is
Shaman : Any questions so far?
spiritofthelynx : no ty
WolfofChaos : no ty
Allan2nd : nty
Shaman : Some people have totems that are very evident
Shaman : they are like an image walking with that person
Shaman : others are a little harder to sense
Shaman : I personally think it is because of the translation process
Shaman : When I see a christian person who believes they have a guardian angel
Shaman : I have to get a sense of the corresponding animal totem
Shaman : which can be fun sometimes since christiandom has a sense of repression
Shaman : The eastern religions are a stumper too sometimes because of the Kami's
Shaman : These are helper spirits
Shaman : that take animal forms at times too
Shaman : When you have figured out what totem you are associated with
Shaman : you need to start building and strengthening your connection
Shaman : in order to easily connect when you need to
Shaman : One way is to start an inner dialogue
Shaman : be receptive to what your totems can teach you
Shaman : once you have accepted this
Shaman : you will be amazed at what you will learn
Shaman : maybe not the answer to the world's problems
Shaman : but simple and lasting truths
Shaman : things that will help you achieve the goal of you becoming the best you possible
Shaman : sounds sappy - but it is true
Allan2nd : lol
Shaman : You will not become Mother Teresa overnight
Shaman : but you will learn some astounding things about yourself and others
Shaman : this all starts with you being receptive to learning
Shaman : you cannot teach a wall to walk but you can teach it to support
Shaman : Work on strengthening your bonds with your totems
Shaman : by listening
Shaman : by feeling
Shaman : by being open
Shaman : Next week I will start with the specific characteristics of totems from and shamanic point of view
Shaman : and for those interested
Shaman : I have some info on angelic guides as well
Shaman : as how they correspond
Shaman : Any questions before I close class?
spiritofthelynx : no ty
WolfofChaos : no ty
Allan2nd : nty brother thank you for great class
