The Purpose of These Exercises is to use Reiki in the Advanced Practice of Connecting with Power Animal Totems. These Power Animal Totems are Living Embodiments of Wisdom and Ability. Each Animal Totem holds different Secrets, Revelations, and Energies which may be called upon to support our Reiki Healing Work. Working with these Beings is not a standard part of Reiki, but has been a very meaningful practice for me that has proven its value to me many times over. This is an additional way to use the Reiki Energy to Expand Your Abilities.

 

A Quick-and-Simple Presentation of the History of Power Animal Workings seems in order - Power Animals are very much Honored in the Shamanic Traditions. Connecting a sick person with their Animal Totem is known to restore lost Strength/Wisdom/Energy to that person. Also, the Guidance of the Totem Animals is Legendary in their ability to dramatically reveal the mysteries behind life. Throughout history - Animals have Inspired mankind - via Martial Artists, Shamanic Practices, and even in Daily Interactions with Pets... the value of maintaining a Spiritual Connection with them has stood the test of time.

 

 

Our Purpose In Power Animal Workings is of Great Importance. When working with any Being, it is very important to know your purpose and desired outcome. This purpose can be to gain more wisdom on a matter, to facilitate healing, to call upon the natural qualities of an Animal Totem to be shared and experienced, or any other constructive and positive reason which you feel strongly in your own heart.

 

 

A Simple Connection Process: (non-Reiki)

Touch the Power Animal Artwork, state your intent, and invite the Animal Totem to be Present with you Now. Close your eyes, reach out with your intention and visualize the Live Power Animal in front of you, feel it's powers, as it approaches you.

Do your Work Together - Always in a respectful and Joy Filled Manner.

End the Session Sending your Love and Gratitude to This Power Animal - Feel this as Deeply as you possibly can... spend at least 3 minutes generating this Love-Energy for the Animal Spirit. End with a simple "Thank You" and hands in Prayer Position.

 

Sample Reiki 1 Connection Process:

Place Your Reiki Hands in front of you, beaming out in front of you.

Reach out with your intention and Offer this Beaming Reiki to the Animal Spirit... invite it to be Present with you Now.

Exercises To Do while in the connection

Sending Energy to The Power Animal for it's use in any way it would Like  - Building Respect and a Working Relationship.

Note: There are many ways of creating the connection with Power Animals - Upon beginning this connection, it is best to take your time and really enjoy the time together... getting to know one another. Once this base is established, an Animal Totem may reveal other ways in which you can connect with them - for example:

Snapping your fingers with the intent to connect

 

Listen to the Animal Spirit and know that this is a Real Friendship that is forming - at times, you may be asked for help... just as you sometimes ask for help from them.

 

 

Daily Life Exercises - Walking with the Power Animal, Spending The Day Carrying the Presence of The Animal Totem, Opening Yourself to be a Conduit for the Animal Spirit's Energy of Consciousness to Reach Through You and more Physically Manifest in the World, Imbue Water (or any other object) with the energy of A Power Animal, etc...
