INTEGRATING SPIRIT ANIMALS What are some specific ways you can integrate the allies of nature into your practice? Try these ideas: 1. Point Out a Client's Helpers If a client talks about an interaction with a natural being, whether it was/is everyday or psychic, encourage them to talk about their reactions or look up the meaning being conveyed. You could even prompt them to picture the being and ask questions to it during a session. 2. Draw On Your Own Helpers Call on your personal totems during your sessions. Ask for insight and advice. If you don't know your spiritual helpers, ask for a sign. Select a three-date period and request that your helpers appear in the environment, a dream, or through another psychic means. 3. Request Help When Needed If your research suggests that a cat—or frog or eagle— might assist your client during a session, ask for it to intuitively appear and assist. Suggest that your client imagine that this being is helping, if that seems appropriate. If you don't know which being might be useful, ask the Greater Spirit or your own totem to select a helper and psychically reveal what it's doing. And if you get a lion, tiger, or bear—well, you're in good hands. Notes 1. "Why Do Cats Purr?"
