Spirit Guides: Finding Them, Talking To Them, etc.

[Darkest.Nation]

Sa's are meant to compliment you and not be like you. If you're already courageous, do you need an SA to teach you that? No.

??? That's random, who is this directed at?

It's a general fact, but something I felt I should bring up. Not directed at anyone in particular.

First, tell us the identity (what creature it is) of your Spirit. If it has shown you its name or you have named it yourself, share that as well.
I have not had it's name yet, but I plan or working with my SA when I can devote some good time to it.

Second, tell us some of your traits, personally, without just trying to convince anyone.
Hmm. Anxious, nearby paranoid. Very odd, sometimes shy. Reserved most of the time... nobody sees my vulnerable or out-of-control side. Always seeking a lover, pretty much. I got lots of love to share.

Third, describe why you think this is your SPirit Animal.
He's the only one that's ever appeared, besides a polar bear [totem], that was there during my mediation... and stags always been... attractive to me, even as a little youngster. c:

I do think he's a missing piece to who I am. I am clumsy (a heavy walker/runner on top of that), unsure; and afraid to love, recieve it, and generally be in a relationship, to commit to it, too. I have a hard time expressing it, at least romantically. I can be quite mean and "I, me, myself" sometimes. I do not like to show any emotional or, well, any type of vulnerability. What we both share is a strength in observation and protective nature, but otherwise... he's a missing puzzle piece.

Fourth, discuss how the identity of your SPirit showing itself, connecting with you, and teaching you has changed who you are.
Seeing as how the stag, when standing with it's rack of antlers so proud... it's definately made me think and pretend I was that stag, showing (or thinking) with at least a little confidence. My stag has definately taught me confidence, perhaps some grance/gentleness.

Otherwise, the question kind confuzzled me. Ah, but that's what happens when you're tired, I guess. (:

Final, share your closing thoughts on the matter, and anything else you did not cover above but feel obligated to.
Long story short, I think I have a lot to learn from nature. And my stag shall help me.

Hi guys. I've known about SA's for a while but I've never truely tried searching for mine and I'm not sure how to go about it. I've been talking to my RL best friend, Mello-chan, who posts here and she's persauded me to come here.

I'm not very good at reading walkthroughs so is there a video that could help talk me through it?

Eru! I think there's a good one called 'Find your Power Animal,' but I can't remember the woman's name... Dianne something.

First, tell us the identity (what creature it is) of your Spirit. If it has shown you its name or you have named it yourself, share that as well.
My SA is a small female Lanner Falcon. The name I gave her is Aponi.

Second, tell us some of your traits, personally, without just trying to convince anyone.
I'm quiet, competitive, sarcastic, easily irritated/frustrated/made jealous, don't deal well with emotions and am quite fierce.

Third, describe why you think this is your Spirit Animal.
Aponi is everything I'm not. She's calm; always knows how to comfort me. She's, quite literally, a guiding figure. Her peace makes me happy, and lets me make less brash decisions.
Talking to Aponi stops me from overstressing, even if not all of her words are easily interpretated.

Fourth, discuss how the identity of your Spirit showing itself, connecting with you, and teaching you has changed who you are.
Ever since I met her, I've felt much calmer, knowing guidance is within me, and I can access it any time. I was never one to believe in this kind of thing, but now I will stand up for my beliefs.
Meditation, which I once did simply to pass time, now has meaning to me.

Finally, share your closing thoughts on the matter, and anything else you did not cover above but feel obligated to.
I have nothing else to add, other than that my Buddhist friend was really open to the idea of SAs, and helped with meditation techniques. It shows that different beliefs can mix happily.

Heres a good video on YouTube to help you

[Junsui]

Is this correct? I could use this.

[RoyalDarkness316~]

yes, it's correct.

[Slenderwoman]

Wow... It might have been a vision of sorts. perhaps a Future Vision, I get them sometimes.

*Sarcasm* Oh fun! I've always wanted to see my insanity kill innocent spirits! Wee! *Sarcasm*


Late post is late.

[ya like jazz]

Well, I have been reading stalking this thread for about an hour or two, and I tried to contact my spirit animal, and I just can't get my mind totally cleared. I can imagine my safe place (It is a meadow, as a matter of fact), but I can't imagine it clearly enough to beable to see anything, I can't 'walk' or 'talk' in my place, all it is, is just a blurry view. I relaxed, closed my eyes, focused on just my safe place, and it still was arduous to see anything besides a few colors.
So... ah... any ideas/help? :3 Hah, thanks in advanced ^-^

Keep trying c: I couldn't do much at first, but today i got stuck in a cave AND chased by some random black wolf X3 Just try to do it more often, and try moving around until you get used to it.
