Ok, I'm something of a sceptic here and am currently on a long and not-so-magical journey trying out as many different religions/forms of spirituality as possible to find something I like. No harm in trying, right?
Anyway, I'm having a few problems visualising my spirit animal. So I have a few questions...
1) Should I listen to music? I started off listening to sounds of the rainforest, then I thought maybe that might subconsciously influence what animal appears.
2) How naturally should the animal appear? Whenever I starting seeing shapes in my mind’s eye, I immediately start trying to interpret them as an animal... i.e. it doesn’t come naturally, and I keep having to start over because I’m putting too much effort into imagining the animal. Which leads to the third question...
3) I’m quite an imaginative person. How do I differentiate the ‘spirit animal’ from something I’d quite like the animal to be. Do I just take the first animal I think it looks like?
Ugh, I guess I’m thinking too much.
