WELCOME TO THE SPIRIT WISDOM ANIMAL ORACLE

Become mindful of your alignment with Spirit through the guidance of animals.

DIRECTIONS FOR USING THE ORACLE


1. Ground. Drop down to your heart center by focusing on your chest. Ground by bringing violet light up through the souls of your feet to your tailbone. Feel your feet planted firmly on the ground or imagine roots from your soles going deep into the earth.

2. Release. Take a few deep breaths; deeply inhale, and as you slowly exhale, release unwanted thoughts, stress, and chatter down a violet tube from your tailbone into the earth. Continue to ground and release.

3.  Relax and Expand. Next, bring white light down from your crown into your heart, through every cell of your body, and out through your palms and soles, infusing your entire aura. 

4. Ask from the heart. When you feel relaxed and grounded, ask which S
pirit Animal has a message for you today or ask a question of concern. 

NOTE: These cards are designed to reflect, guide, and support you by presenting ways to shift your mind state, balance, and restore. They're meditation cards. They do not give you specific answers to personal inquiries, like "Where is my relationship headed?" Instead, the cards will redirect your focus and thoughts out of the small self's ego mind and into an expanded version of yourself. Similar to what our animals do for us; bring us into presence and joy.  Rephrase your question to, "What do I need to know about my relationship?"


JUST SAYIN': There wasn't room on the card templates below to include the full Spirit Animal's message.  Instead, you'll be reading the main essence of each card reading--the nuts and bolts.
Purchase the deck for a comprehensive teaching and corresponding Kundalini Pranayama meditation
to deepen your experience.


DOUBLE NOTE:  We all tend not to understand a card's message sometimes or resonate with its message at the moment. We might have different expectations and want to pull another card.
DON'T!, is my advice.
Spirit delivers the message you need at the time. If the message doesn't seem to answer or support your question, sit with it. Perhaps there's something else you need to work on or consider that's more important.
For maximum benefit, practice the animal's teaching (the card you pull) throughout the day; The Spirit Wisdom Animal Oracle is a mindfulness practice, and the cards are meant to return us to Source -- to the One beyond the chatter of thought. YOU! 
The readings in the Spirit Wisdom Animal Oracle help to consciously shift our thoughts and view our situations differently, which can change the outcome and, thus, our lives.


CAUTION !  When practiced for a long time, these teachings might cause happiness.

As children, we tune in to nature’s time clock and know when we’ve pushed beyond our means. Are we giving too much of ourselves, not setting healthy boundaries, or taking time for ourselves? If you feel drained step back. Camel Spirit Animal knows when to proceed and when to recede and stores a reserve tank along her spine. Emotional well-being and strength are the recipe for youth. When we honor our needs, we have the energy and time to be of service to others. Safeguard your reservoir of energy for the long haul! We never know what lies ahead.

Swan glides through the water bringing Divine grace and a deep sense of peace to all who see her. We can bring this poise and deep healing into our own lives when we step out of the way and allow ourselves to be.  Spirit Animal Swan fills our days with surprise and synchronicity and asks us to make conscious decisions with the deep knowing that the universe has our back. When we come into this state of surrender, we will feel guided and will always know what to do. Let go of pushing and wanting things your way and open to the signs of the ever-flowing universe. Others will feel the peace of your expansion and respond to your grace.

We need to be prepared physically and emotionally for change. Environmental disasters, death of a loved one, losing a job, a home, a relationship, or any transition can be devastating. Frog Spirit Animal shows us the transient nature of our lives and gives us the support and foundation we need in times of change. Nothing is permanent in life. Everything is in constant flux, and when we try to hold on to our comforts, changes become hurdles. Notice when you might be slushing in yesterday’s mud. Frog cleanses and releases stale energies, so we can easily take those leaps. Leaps keep us flexible. Be willing to spring into transitions.

When we drop resistance, we become flexible for transition. Every leap provides support for new beginnings.

Hummingbird appears to have shown up just for us,  and we experience a momentary break from our habitual thoughts and mind attacks. When we forget ourselves, we remember our true essence. Hummingbird Spirit Animal knows healing begins at the heart center. She penetrates the sweetness of the flower’s core with her long tongue. We too can penetrate the bitterness of our sorrows and circumstances, and delight in the sweetness at the core of our being—the pure joy of being alive. Happiness is our appreciation for each moment here. Remember to hover at the heart center, rest in that moment, and drink deeply from the nectar of life. It’s yours.

When captured by a predator, Lizard can detach from her tail, but this can only happen once. If she moves without observing and remembering her lessons, consequences may be more severe the next time around. When we don’t learn from our mishaps or face our issues, the same scenarios, relationships, and situations will appear in different clothes at different times, again and again. Lizard Spirit Animal has mastered both the art of stillness and quickness and knows when to slip into each one. Be still. Trust your gut. You are your wisdom.

There is no point in pushing to get things done according to your own planned timeline. Keep your creative vision alive in both your heart and mind’s eye with unwavering determination, and then relax. Watch Squirrel fly through the trees. She dangles on the thinnest branch and allows her intuition to guide her quick moves. Trust your steps. We never discard our dreams, but we give them room to breathe and grow at their own pace. Remember that wisdom is required to know when and how to change direction. And patience is required for direction to unfold.

Raven’s indigo and violet highlights relate to the third-eye and crown chakras.  Her sudden presence can be startling, grabbing our admiration and awe. Raven Spirit Animal connects us to life’s mysteries and universal laws. Her teachings encourage us to gravitate toward a deeper purpose in life, contemplate our existence, and question why we’re here. As we expand out, we begin to open to a less self-centered view of our environment and our relationship with all life. Only old souls hear the call of Raven. Delve into life's mysteries and expand yourself.

Jaguar knows if she waits, she’ll miss the opportunity. We can lose our grounding and good sense when we operate primarily from the head. Planning, organizing, and controlling our journey is tiresome, and outcomes rarely meet our expectations. With spontaneity, we throw away agendas.  We need confidence to be spontaneous. Build your center of confidence. Breathe through the belly. “Strike from the center of gravity,” Jaguar says. From the sea of Chi we face the darkness, touch our soul, and become fearless.

Chicken places her curious mind in the right perspective. She may be jabbing at you to reevaluate your life and reset your priorities. We may need to view our career, health, art, commitments, or relationships differently. Chicken Animal Spirit brings this fertile, receptive feminine quality into our lives. She asks us to foster this energy. An open, happy mind brings surprising results. Get a taste of her spiritual nourishment and greet each day in awe. Fill up with curiosity. Stay empty to do so. Every day is different.

When your mind is in control, you have little personal power. The “monkey mind” continues to swing from thought to thought, keeping us in the past or future. Sitting alert and powerful in himself, Lion's reactions spring from clarity and single-minded focus. We cannot stop the bombardment of thought, but we can bring our attention to our chest and rest in the heart center.  Without our attention, our thoughts lose their power. Feel the aliveness of the joy and capacity of the breath. Here lives the power of your presence.

Praying Mantis Spirit Animal shows us how to set intentions and be patient. This graceful insect never needs to pursue her prey because she draws to her whatever she needs. We, too, can mentally hold what we want to attract into our lives. But this can only happen when we feel deserving. Never waver or doubt yourself.  See your life as part of a vibratory universe, set your intentions clearly, and go about your business. Understand that your needs are already known, your requests already in motion, and trust thy will be done.

Ah! If you’re feeling limited or stuck, use all your resources. Raccoon uses coordination and cleverness to figure things out. Feeling stuck doesn’t have to be seen as a hindrance. Anytime transition stirs, the creative flow may halt,  like calm before the storm. Raccoon Animal Spirit shows us how to relax into these low times and regain our momentum at the right time. Obstacles can mean we’re off track or may be here to test our commitment. Ingenuity is Raccoon's wisdom and only recourse for survival. Keep all your doors open, and courageously step through.

Consider surrendering to hardships. Otherwise, hardships will take you down. A life with freezing temperatures has given Polar Bear a difficult earth assignment. Surrendering to circumstances, she perseveres and survives. Polar Bear Spirit Animal teaches us how to deal with difficulties through surrender.  We may blame our circumstances or others for our setbacks and be miserable or become like runners who surpass the initial resistance and discomfort in the body and mind and soar through the finish line. Become a gentle wind in the face of hardships, and misfortunes will not affect you in quite the same way.

Gopher churns the soil making it mineral-rich and fertile. Gopher Spirit Animal teaches us to see past our immediate reaction of anger. Remember this: when we become uprooted and angered, we overlook the lush ground of possibilities and unforeseen opportunities churning in the ether. Our lesson might be to practice patience with another’s shortcomings. Or to let go of what we can't control. We miss the mineral-rich lessons others offer to help us evolve. Pop your head up from setbacks and look for productive perspectives. Ride the waves, bury arrogance, and thank Gopher for digging those holes.

When we resist “what is,” we only magnify  our anger. With patience we can ride  the waves through adverse times.

Elephant Spirit Animal teaches us about connection and community. She moves through life at a slow, steady, pace knowing that she is part of a greater whole. We find unity by remembering our collective human experience and link to humanity. Know support is here when you need it. We never walk alone. We can stand in solidarity and be available to others. As we take slow, gentle strides in life, we recognize and feel the unity and kinship with all life. Uproot seeds of self-obsession an rise for others.

Peacock Spirit Animal demonstrates “proud” humility. Spreading his magnificent plumage, Peacock is not motivated by an inflated ego or a grandiose facade of himself. His radiance is a natural expression of Divine Intelligence. Peacock elicits in us a momentary remembrance of our divinity. Our capacity to shine doesn’t come from ego. It arises with self-realization. When we don’t polish we accumulate dust. Imagine white light descending into your crown and beaming from your heart.  Be aware of your Divine nature, and walk in humility”. Uplift others with your radiance, and don’t be afraid to shine. It’s your birthright.

When we become aware of our Divine nature, we drop our self-importance.

Radiance

Be gentle in your thoughts, words, and actions, and extend your gentleness to others. The peace we wish in the world must first manifest within ourselves. Non-violence begins here. We can’t swat flies and expect to cultivate a gentle mind. Begin by paying attention to the slight irritations and bad moods that arise before they catapult into full-blown anger. Retrain the mind to react differently. Deer Spirit Animal shows us effortless grace through her mere presence. She is an example of how gentleness can command one’s attention and admiration. Be gentle with yourself if you fall back into robot mode.

Pig Spirit Animal asks you to be kind to all living beings, including yourself. Self-respect begins with kindness. If we are judging and criticizing others no doubt we’re criticizing ourselves too. If we feel mowed over by another’s actions or words, or doubt ourselves, others will mirror this backback. Bring the delegate integration of Pig’s intelligence and playfulness into your life, and lighten up. Pig’s message is to be a lotus flower; bloom above the mud of defeating thoughts and feelings of low self-esteem. Cultivate kindness and see all life with equanimity.

Time to become conscious of what we might unconsciously attract into our lives. If you feel prosperous and free-spirited, and your present situation is the opposite,  continue to hold deliberate, focused feelings of joy and freedom. Sloth Animal Spirit asks you to be more engaged as a neutral observer and less involved in your present drama. Sloth’s message is of utmost importance: when we slow down, we can become deliberate collaborators in our life, more mindful of how our thoughts shape our reality, and more aware of our emotions and moods that sabotage us.

We experience joy and awaken our hearts in the presence of awakened beings. We feel this from our ego-less animals. Cow asks us to dismantle our fears which may create walls around us. When we shut down or retreat, we may think we protect ourselves from pain, but we sabotage our happiness. We must take care of our needs, but notice when we put ourselves first at the cost of another’s loss. Cow asks us to remember her and consider the actions and the causes behind the food we eat, the clothes we wear, and the products we use. Strive to see yourself in others, and work to keep the heart open for yourself first, and then for the benefit of all living beings.

Reinvent yourself. Take another route. Change a habit or monotonous routine and feel the expansion. You will gain wisdom with exploration, especially when encountering tribulation. Coyote Spirit Animal understands “trial and error,” and knows there are no mistakes, only experiences for growth. She teaches us that our limited view can hide solutions to our dilemmas. A different direction might reveal new ideas and considerations that answer insistent problems or states of mind. Sharp turns will reset the neurotransmitters in the brain. Remain open to whatever unfolds before you.

It’s time for self-scrutiny. Do we criticize ourselves and others? Scoff at ourselves for not meeting our expectations? Perhaps quick to condemn another’s behavior, viewpoint, or judge their appearance? Rat stirs fear and revulsion in most. But our reactions to a rat or a butterfly are in the mind. Rat Spirit Animal reminds us that the One manifests in all forms, and asks us to go beyond the surface of our arrogance and prejudices. Do your reactions and feelings stem from the heart or the head? From love or fear? Look beyond appearances. Scrutinize your thoughts when you don’t.

As we stay stuck in bad feelings, negative emotions or memories, we can believe we are not deserving of things, even of our happiness. We destroy our self-esteem with the story we’ve created in our mind. Do we ever question whether it’s true? Black Cat Spirit Animal shows us the joy of unconditional love and forgiveness. His message: to forgive ourselves of the hurt we have caused others, and to also forgive others who have hurt and caused us pain. Forgiveness does not mean to condone another’s actions or abuse. It means releasing anger, resentment, and liberating ourselves. It’s our birthright to be happy.

Owl Spirit Animal teaches us the wisdom of observation and the art of stillness. Stay in the vastness of this interplay in the midst of chaos. Find your center by questioning your thoughts. Do your thoughts create calm or chaos? Do they stem from love or fear? Take an honest look. Choose the thoughts that support you, not attack you. Freedom is here in the choice––one that can become difficult when we have fearful, convincing convictions. Cultivate this wisdom of insight through stillness. The clarity of owl-wisdom will refine every move.

Wolf appears to howl at the moon, but she knows that projecting her voice upward carries the sound farther. Sending our requests out with intention magnifies our sound as well. Be cautious. We may be broadcasting the opposite of what we desire. Clear the cluttered, fearful mind. The universe hears and responds. Be clear with your requests, and neutralize your thoughts when facing obstacles. Put joy into steady intention.  Wolf Spirit Animal’s message is to follow the illuminated pathway—the path right before you. Say yes to what presents itself. Walk on the illuminated path, surrounded in mystery.

Spirit Animal Daddy Longlegs shows us how to sit and rest in the Self. Who boasts, defends, argues, feels hurt, and reacts? It's the “person” we think we are—an imagined image we defend and identify with. This voice speaks from conditioning, acquired knowledge, and concepts that we accumulate. We believe our thoughts as we speak from our projections, opinions, and guards. When we speak from Presence, people hear us because we resonate from a vast, loving space. Daddy Longlegs knows what needs to be said will be heard. Stay rooted in the inhale and exhale, and your cosmic web will attract the words you need to say, when to say them, and to whom. For now, listen.

Horse Spirit Animal has handed you the mirror.  When we are honest with ourselves, we might understand why our animal companion has urinated in the house or displayed undesirable behavior. Horse Spirit Animal has come to gently guide us on a healing journey of sincere, self-reflection. Instead of feeling like the victim and blaming others, we can take a look at our behaviors, thoughts, and reactions. How are we coming across to others? What do others trigger in us to make us angry or feel hurt? Every reaction is rooted in the past. Examine your feelings behind every reaction to every situation.

Our inner critic becomes louder than our intuition when we think we’ve failed. Doubt drowns our commitments. It may be time to change gears. When we follow our hunches and inspiration enthusiasm will naturally arise again. Moose Animal Spirit shows us strength and endurance with his sure-footedness in the wilderness. He commands his space with a five-foot aura of antlers and perseveres through all obstacles because he knows his heartfelt efforts bring results. And results bring the confidence needed to persevere. commit to patience and stay on track. Rise up with Moose to meet the challenge.

Seal Animal Spirit brings play into our lives, and a taste for grace. Notice anytime we play, create, and step outside of ourselves, fear is absent. We come into balance and ease. Seal asks us to move through the waters of our unconscious feelings and emotions, to ride through those low ebbs of enthusiasm, and not freeze or procrastinate. Flight or fight responses can ignite anytime we feel threatened or lifted from our comfort zones. Notice when you are challenged to swim outside your safety net. Then listen to your gut and take that dive into uncharted waters. It’s time to flow and create the life you want and deserve.

You are a part and whole of this field of Oneness. Make moves effortlessly within this knowing, and your instinctual guidance.  To hesitate is a function of the mind.

Perhaps it’s time to recognize the container you’ve placed yourself in.  We miss Pigeon's wisdom when we look from our container of opinionated mindsets. Do we see ourselves through a stained lens as well? Pigeon Spirit Animal lifts us from the vista of ordinary appearances and asks us to soar above the mundane view we have of ourselves, look past our walls, take refuge in community, find stability in solidarity, and seek the support of like-minds who raise our vibration.

If we think home is where we were physically born or raised, we may find ourselves longing for something we can never recreate. Memories are elusive and escape our grasp. Grasping at the intangible creates sadness and loneliness. We may constantly seek to quench our thirst for home. Spirit Animal Tortoise is always at home and finds protection wherever she is, under a resilient roof that surrounds her throughout life. The security and sense of resilience dawns with the recognition of Oneness. This unity is a place of protection and love. It is our core and eternal recognition of who and what we are. You are home.

Choose your words mindfully. Be aware of your intentions when you speak. Others hear you on the level you’re speaking from. Spirit Animal Whale teaches us about vibrational sound and the frequencies of our feeling tones. Communication is not just a means for ourselves or our self-expression. Communication is delivered to match another’s frequency, not our own. Notice and stop yourself before complaining—about anything, even the weather. “Getting it off our chests,” is not helping us. Notice the lightness and joy generated when we don’t engage. When we speak words that resonate profoundly, we have understood Whale’s teachings.

Skunk bathes in this wisdom and sends out a vibe that is respected.  Examine what pushes your buttons. Fear responds to conditioning and past experiences. Choose to stay in the balance of your heart center. Others will not dare to cross your boundaries. The heart speaks volumes. We don’t have to do or say anything.

Mountain Goat's footing is focused and stable. Hence, she maintains her grip while climbing precipitous, rocky cliffs. Her secret? Soft, pliable pads on the bottom of her feet prevent her from falling. She survives harsh conditions, keeps moving, and never looks back. Climbing craggy rocks, she knows she is safe from "predators"the negative emotions that devour us during difficulties. We must remain pliable and not slip through the crags so adversities will not defeat us.  Remain focused through hardships, proceed from the still-spot,  and you'll arrive.

It may be time to set new intentions and to move forward with less effort and more ease. Don’t overthink things. Issues can resolve when we step aside. The decisions and choices we second guess can drive us nuts and deplete our energy. It doesn’t matter which road you
