Utilizing spirit animal energy has the potential to awaken powerful qualities that have been dormant in your life as you deeply connect with the natural world to create healing. Spirit animal energy is sometimes also referred to as spirit animal medicine and refers to connecting with a spiritual essence of a specific animal. Individual animals may appear in life to bring us messages or energy of their kind, but it is more about connecting the spiritual and energetic frequency of the animal. When people speak of totem animals or power animals it is referring to the same form of energy. These animals often serve as guides and correspond to our nature and qualities.

There are many times when we have a couple spirit animals that correspond to different levels of the self. Some believe a spirit animal remains with us for life, while others think they change over time as we change as well. Power animals are highly personal and are worked with in the ways in which it feels right. Connecting with the energy of spirit animals can be healing and attune us to a frequency that brings balance to our system. We can tap into what we are lacking and grow.

Choosing a Spirit Animal

There is no right or wrong way to choose a spirit animal, but a few ways are shared below.

• Reference animal energy books
• Use an animal oracle deck
• Work with a professional to help you determine your spirit animal
• Watch for the animals that repeatedly appear in your life
• Ask your spirit animal to reveal itself through the universe

Working with Spirit Animal Energy

After your spirit animal energy has been decided, call on the energy that you want to work with through some of the following exercises.

• Center Yourself – Relax your entire body through deep breaths that inhale good energies and exhale the negativity and thoughts
• Call on the Energy – Ask your spirit animal energy to come into your energy as you relax
• Ask for Help – Ask for help with the issue you are facing
• Stay with the Energy – Sit silently and listen for the guidance that the animal spirit has to offer to you whether it is for an immediate or long-term issue
• Try Meditation – This can be done in the way you are comfortable meditating by looking at a photo of the animal, asking the animal to reveal itself, making notes about what you learn and sitting with the energy, then repeating as needed

Working on the Fly

Pay close attention to the animals that have presented themselves to you. They can bring messages and reminders through your day. While not all animal encounters are spiritual in nature, those that are uncommon typically are in some form. That said, the animals we choose to keep company with daily, like pets, also have meaning. Pet choice says a great deal about a person and what they prioritize and value. These animals can also have messages for us, but when it comes to repeated encounters, wild animals are the most significant. Single encounters have some significance, but repetition is the most meaningful. These are not just animals in nature, but those in ads, on Facebook, or other places as well.

Spirit animals will find a way to share their messages in some way, even if it is not an animal common to an area. When you receive a message, interpret it in the following ways.

• When you feel a particular animal energy, it is time to receive your message
• Read about the animal energy
• Connect with the energy and message
• Follow your intuition
• Think of the vibe of the message and find the personal part for yourself
• Use angel number rules to read animal messages

When your message has been received, express gratitude from the heart and make an offering to the animal. If an offering to the animal is not feasible, make an offering to Mother Earth in some way.

We are all simply souls that are currently having a physical experience which means there is more to life than what we can sense with our five senses. When we work to develop our sixth sense or extrasensory perception, ESP, we can access special gifts others miss. The article is to teach people how to astral project by developing your extrasensory perception. The skills shared are not limited to astral projection, but can also be applied to meditation, dream analysis, manifestation, and more. A little intuition and lots of practice can help anyone access the spiritual realm using astral projection. Pique your curiosity about astral projection by reading on.

Astral Projection Explained

Astral projection is an intentional awareness of the consciousness leaving your body as your soul enters a spiritual plane. When someone astral projects, they can see themselves in physical form as they float above their body. This is not scary because you can re-enter your body whenever you choose. It is important to try astral projection at least once because we live in a material world and it is easy to believe that it is all that exists. There is an intangible spiritual realm that lives alongside our material world and when astral projecting, that spiritual side is where we go.

There are many practical reasons people astral project, but some of the more common ones include:

• To free the soul
• To learn more about existence as a human
• To sharpen intuition
• To see time in a non-linear manner
• To temporarily leave the physical world behind
• To relearn the true value of life

Only try astral projection when the physical body is in a safe space, when you can relax, and be interruption free. As you improve in your astral projection, keep in mind it is about intention. The reasons you connect with the astral plane is always spiritual, so know your reason ahead of time.

Step by Step Guide

Once you have prepared your mind and body for astral projection, follow the steps below to start.

• Affirmations – Begin with a positively phrased intention or affirmation, that is simple like “I will astral project” or “I will enter a higher state of consciousness.”
• Relax – Lie down so that you are in a relaxed position. Focus on your body and breathing as if meditating. Relax all your muscles as you focus on all your body sensations. Close your eyes and allow the mind to enter a sleep-like state as your thoughts drift. Stay as still as possible.
• Higher Vibrational State – Being able to stay in the half-awake and half-asleep state is the key to entering a higher vibrational state to astral project. If you do fall asleep, it is okay and you can try again, but if you can hold the trance state, do so and keep going.
• Visualize – As you reach a higher state, imagine a silver rope attached to your physical body. The rope can come from your center torso or the crown chakra as it connects your body and soul. The cord has always been present, you are just taking notice. It is your rope, so pay attention to its weight, thickness, and size. Grab it and pull your soul out of your physical body.
• Experiences – As you feel yourself floating free of your physical body, you may feel as if you are floating farther out into the spiritual dimension. This is astral projection. What you will see and encounter is unique to each person. Some people meet spiritual guides or past loved ones. All experiences are valid.
• Come Back – Some people automatically come back, but if not pull yourself back using the silver rope. Your first projections may be short as it is common that excitement ends the journey. Process the experience and prepare to try again a different day. This is a practice designed to increase your knowledge of celestial wisdom and anyone can try it.

Everything we know in the world is comprised of electrical energy.  The way we interact with the resulting vibrations influence affects our perception of the experience.  For highly sensitive people, like empath, even the subtlest of variations in energy can be intense.

Our neuron system mirrors the electrical frequency and allows empaths to inherently sense what another may be feeling in a given moment.  When empaths observe a person’s actions, the corresponding region in their brain lights up.  Essentially the empath’s brain acts as if they were performing that experience.  Even more intense is a rare occurrence called mirror-touch synesthesia, where one’s visual and tactile sense merge to the point a people can “feel” their body being touched while watching how another body is touched.

It can be difficult to be an empath.  At times people wish to turn off their gift to make their lives seem easier or so they can “fit in.”  But at the moments you less expect it, you can truly understand what a blessing this skill truly is.  Perhaps you have a memory of helping someone through a crisis that they hadn’t previously been able to vocalize.  Through your innate sense of knowing, you could say or act in a manner that most resonated with them and alleviated their pain.  This is because emotions are a finely tuned instrument for any empath.

Empath experience the world in an incredibly intense manner, and rarely rationalize their feelings.  Instead, they are governed by their intuition.  They thrive in serving others and fostering harmony with their communities and the world around them.  They are excellent listener and are loyal friends who experience energies in a unique way.  However, all is not easy for empaths.  There can be a dark shadow side empaths must traverse, including the stress of processing other people’s emotions.

In order to fully embrace your talents being an empath, here are five problems that you must learn how to address in order to optimize your wellness:

1. You have to balance two opposing spiritual forces: Empaths feel profound levels of positive and negative emotions constantly.  All this conflicting energy is stored within their hearts.  This causes an overabundance of stress and if not managed properly the empath may fall victim to the stresses in their live and around them.
2. Knowing the extent of evil in the world, makes them vulnerable to toxicity and energy vampires: Sometimes being and empath is like being a walking open book.  Energy vampires can sense their receptivity and target them repeatedly because empaths are natural helpers and healers.  Likewise, getting constantly bombarded with negative energy and the extent of how living beings hurt can be very draining on an empath and they can accidently make external pain their own.
3. Empaths over absorb energies all day long: Endless exposure to external energies are draining on an empath.  No matter how hard they try not to show this struggle to world around them, an empath’s body will always keep score.  Over the years this relentless attack of negativity can cause physical, mental, and spiritual wounds to an empath unless they learn how to manage their energy absorption better.
4. When in love, an empath cannot fully devote themselves to their partner: People all day long are sharing their emotions, thoughts, and experiences with an empath.  This can make it seem like there is whole village in the middle of an empath’s relationship.  The empath must learn to keep a little piece of them tuck away as a method of survival and thus can accidently put-up inappropriate guards.  They must learn to work with their partner and a therapist on how to love fully and help people in need safely.
5. Consistently dealing with inner conflict can cause empaths additional stress: Empath constantly must navigate between positive and negative vibrations.  The toxic emotions are particular overwhelming and can cause self-destructive behaviors.  Empaths can manage this inner battle by identifying internal and external emotions or thoughts.  Then they must work to release the external experiences and prioritize their own feelings.

Not everything is good in an empath’s life.  Constant exposure to heavy emotions can cause empaths to ignore their own needs to the point their health suffers.  Empaths must learn how to set and maintain limits to their assistance.  It is not their duty to solve the world’s problems.

People that work out and take care of their body will more than likely be happier and will feel better than other people. Just like working out, people that take charge of their intuition and develop it more will learn to be happier and will also feel better than those that don’t.

If you want to increase your intuition, you can keep a journal that can help you to know when you see your intuition and when you miss something:

• Ask a real question and write it down.

Having balanced chakras is essential to one’s holistic wellbeing.  Chakra derives the Sanskrit word for wheel.  The chakra system is a main part of ancient Indian teachings called the Vedas dating back to 1500 – 500 BCE.  The system is considered as “energy vortexes within us, where energy can both enter and leave.”  Each of the seven chakra is housed in a particular region of our body and is associated with different ailments.  At time life can cause our chakras to shift out of ailment and become clogged with negative energy.  This negativity can produce emotional, mental and physical distress.  To ensure you enjoy more easy and peaceful days its essential to maintain a clear and balanced chakra system.

Finding time to focus on your chakras can help rejuvenate and replenish your body’s energy and open both your heart and mind to new opportunities, mindfulness and inner peace.  This can help us meet each day with confidence and grace.  We must be aware that pain and trauma can be stored in our chakras.  By practicing chakra work, you can clear this lingering heaviness and grow spiritually and creatively.  This inner work will be difficult.  You will need to process your pain and endure some heaviness in a chakra(s) that is connected to the trauma.  You must deeply feel each emotion in order to fully release it.  Self-care techniques like journaling, mediation, crystal or energy work, bolstering your intuition, yoga and breathwork can be impactful.  Explore methods that feel right to you as there is no right or wrong way to balance your chakras.

Seven charkas exist, starting from the crown of your head stemming to the base of your pelvis.  We have listed ailments associated with each point and crystals that can be use to optimize energy flow and healing:

• Crown (above your head): Emotional regulation, connection and receptivity.  Governed by the colors white, gold, and lavender.  Use crystals like clear quartz (clear and amplify vibrations), selenite (clearing and protection), and lepidolite (attracts abundance and blessings).
• Third Eye (between your eyes): Inner vision, understanding reality, receptivity, awareness, and complex thinking. Governed by the colors purple and indigo.  Use crystals like amethyst (soothes the mind and promotes emotional clarity) and sodalite (eases the mind, promotes truthfulness and mental clarity).
• Throat (center of the throat): Self-expression, owning your truth, voicing opinions, and overcoming fears. Governed by the color royal blue. Use crystals like angelite (reduces tension or stress) and lapis lazuli (promotes the quest for truth).
• Heart (center of the sternum): Love, kindness, empathy, compassion, and acceptance.  Governed by the color bright green.  Use crystals like rose quartz (unconditional love and energy movement) and green serpentine (soothes and reassures the heart and mind).
• Solar Plexus (two inches above the navel): Self-confidence, claiming your power, and forward movement.  Governed by the color bright yellow.  Use crystals like tiger’s eye (promotes confidence and claiming your power) and citrine (recharges energy).
• Sacral (above the pubic bone): Passion, creativity, sexuality.  Governed by the color bright orange.  Use crystals like orange calcite (creativity and sexual health) and carnelian (rids you of negative or unhelpful thoughts).
• Root (coccyx): Safety, grounding, and stability.  Governed by the color deep red.  Use crystals like shungite (protects the physical body, especially from radiation, and maintains a sense of grounding) and black tourmaline (converts negative energy into positive vibrations, and powerful protection).

It is normal to experience imbalance chakras and lacking clarity to the point it can occur daily.  Work to check in with yourself throughout the day to see if you feel angry, clogged, anxious, afraid or lethargic.  Then assess which chakras need to be rebalanced and restored.

Below we have included four tricks you begin using today to help heal and balance your chakras:

1. Strive to have a healthy diet and if possible, eat the rainbow. Corresponding colors of chakras points can profoundly aid in optimizing their function.
2. Place a crystal of the chakra’s governing color atop its physical location. Ask your angels and guides to clear, balance and align your chakras.
3. Smudging your auric field and physical spaces you frequent can aid it balancing chakras with calming your mind. It can be essential in fostering peace and clarity on the energetic level, which ultimately benefits your chakra health.
4. Try the following meditation. Begin by cleansing your auric field and chakra crystals with palo santo or sage.  This will purge any lingering negativity or low vibrations so you can meditate peacefully.  Ask your God Squad (guides, deities, angels, Ascendent Masters, etc.) to be with you during the practice and to help you receive only the highest, purest divine source of truth possible.  Picture a white light bubbling within you and expanding all around you for full spiritual protection.  Ask your guides to help ground you by repeating your name three times in your own head to encourage your spirit to feel safe in your body and reassure you that you will perceive your chakras as they truly are.  Start by locating your root chakra with closed eyes and open your third eye to receive spiritual insight.  Ask your higher power to help clear, balance and align your root chakra.  Take deep diaphragmic breaths through your nose and out your mouth. Envision all toxic and lower vibrational energies flowing out of you and transmuting into the white Divine Light.  Repeat this practice for each ascending chakra point, next visiting your sacral chakra and finishing with the crown chakra.  Finish by zippering up each chakra point, with the exception of the third eye and crown chakras, both front and back for maximum protection.  For the third eye and crown chakra envision a blossoming flower around each of these points, both front and back, which will protect them while allow them to remain open so your can receive spiritual messages.

Check in with your chakras daily and balance them on a regular basis so you can have optimal mental, emotional and physical health.  Follow your intuition for the best way to practice chakra balancing and enjoy the lost lasting benefits of spiritual and energetic wellness.

Karma is something that is neither good nor bad, but it is something that you have that is a cause and effect. The things that you do in your life, both good and bad will come back to you. When you experience a lot of negative things, this can mean you have karmic debt to pay back.

You might be someone that is always having bad karma, and this can happen because you have past karma that you have to pay back. Karma isn’t about what you do now, but it is about what you have done in the past.

Past life choices that you have made will come to you later for you to pay your debt off.

What is Karma?

Karma is something that people say, and they don’t really understand it. When you do good things in life, you have positive karma come to you but when you do bad things, you have to pay back negative karma. We often think that karma is about luck or about fate but that is not true.

Karma is something that happens because of actions that you do. This will determine what you get in return.

This is also something that is described as a force that affects your life or an aura or part of your life energy.

More About Karma

Karma is part of a Hindu belief and this is for people that believe in reincarnation. Reincarnation is the life that goes back into the universe and you keep returning as different things, including humans. You might come back as an animal or a bug or even a flower. The lessons that you learn along the way will help you to complete your journey and reach your highest spiritual self.

There are times that you will owe karmic debt to others and you will stay on your journey until you give the payment. You have to reach a place where you owe no karmic debt.

The good deeds that you do make positive karma, and this helps to get rid of the debt that you have to pay. You have to keep paying the debt from your past life until it is fulfilled.

You need to understand that your actions aren’t the only thing that add up karma but also your thoughts and feelings. These things are sent into the universe and they also make karma. If you hate school, you will be negative about it and you will build up negative karma. But if you go to school even if you are bullied and you are positive about it, you will get good karma.

Karmic Debt

Karmic debt is two numbers. It is a single and a double digit. If you have 4 karmic debt, it will be 1+3 which=7 and that means 4. This means that the karmic debt is 13 and the negative is the 4.

Karmic debt uses numbers 4, 5, 7 and 1. The double-digit numbers are the force of karma debt and the numbers are the traits that you have to have to clear your debt.

Calculating Your Karmic Debt

The numbers and karmic debt have to be part of your birthday. This is your personality number and your life path number. These numbers are the sum that work together in the pattern of numbers.

Use your real birthday and add up the digits:

If you are born on May 25^th, you add up the 2+5=7 and that is your karmic debt.

Your life path number is one of the core numbers. This is your full birthday, the year and then you break down the single digit numbers. This is the life path number, and you can use it to relate to your karmic debt.

Karmic Debt Numbers

Now that you know your karmic debt numbers, what do you need to correct?

The number 13 means you have been lazy in your past life. You have to focus on completing things and doing tasks that come to you.

The number 14 means that you want to be in control. You took freedom away from people in your past life and you need to learn to be vulnerable and giving to others.

The number 16 has to do with your ego. You thought that you were high in life and you have to learn to be humble and kind.

The number 19 means that you were selfish. You have possibly been addicted to things and you need to move forward in your life.

The debt is hard to understand sometimes and once you learn to do things for others, you will be successful in getting rid of karmic debt.

This debt is coming for those that have multiple lives and if you help those that are less fortunate and those that are needing help, you will see that you can get ahead in life.

Number 0

The number zero means that you have no karma to pay back. This means that your karma is clear and that you are able to keep a balanced life as long as you live a good life. You need to be mindful of how you act and what you do.

People with 0 karma will have a better life and will be motivated to be positive and to do things that are good. Focus on the lessons that you have learned along the way and be positive. Treat others will love and respect.

Signs of Karmic Debt

Life is about different numbers and patterns, and they point out lessons that you have or need to learn.

If you owe karmic debt, you can calculate what you owe from your birth chart and your karmic number.

If you find that you have repeating patterns in your life, or you struggle with things like addiction, it can mean that you have debts that you have to pay.

Gravitating to people that you need to help will help you to pay back karmic debt and will reward you with selflessness and humility.

When you have relationships that are the same pattern or if you are in abusive relationships, you will have karmic debt that you need to pay back. You owe this and you need to learn what to do next.

Finding yourself in situations where you are always looking at yourself and your negativity means that you are gathering debt and you need to change and learn to appreciate your life.

Conclusion

Finding out what kind of karmic debt that you owe can help you to find your purpose in life. It can help you to grow and to be better. The universe will push you until you are the best that you can be, and you reach your higher self.

People in our lives are often negative and people have to surround themselves in this kind of environment. When that happens, you have to learn to protect yourself.

A lightworker is someone that brings light to others and when there is negativity, this can be fear based or it can be negative energy.

Negative energy is no reason to be afraid, the best way you can fight this is to deal with negative energy.

Ground Yourself

Grounding yourself will help you to have light. It will help you to feel down to earth and help you to balance yourself and to make a plan.

When you ground our energy, you are able to keep your life positive. A lightworker might need to have their vibrational frequency high so that they can get into the spirit world and when they are balanced, they can keep their mind focused on what they need to do.

Doing this can also keep you protected and when your energy is part of nature, it keeps your energy strong. If you are someone with a high vibration, you might feel spacy often. If this happens to you then you need to make sure you are grounding your energy.

Cleansing Your Energy

Just like you have to take care of your physical body, you have to learn to cleanse and take care of your spiritual being. Doing this can help you to be stronger. Just like you stake a bath, when you are washing, imagine that the water is taking your energy and clearing out any negativity in your life.

Imagine that the water is cleaning your aura and that you are losing any negativity. Imagine your life surrounded by different colors and that all the colors are strong and healing. You can also use Epsom salt to take a bath in to cleanse your body and your spirit being.

Cleaning your energy can help you and you can also do this through meditating. When you visualize that you are in water, you can imagine that the water is washing away any of the negative energy that has hooked to you.

There are ways that you can meditate to cleanse your body and your mind. This can take care of your inner and outer being and can help you to be strong. Imagine that water is flowing over you and washing away any negativity in your life.

Cut the Cord

You can ask your angels to cut any energy cords that you have with other people or places. When you live, you sometimes form cords with other people, and they can pass their energy to you. If they are passing negative energy, it will fill your life with negativity.

The higher your energy level is, the better your purpose is. Cutting cords is important if you need to get rid of negative attachments in your life.

You never have to be with someone all the time to have cords. They can attach when you think of someone or when you go online and look on their social mediate.

When you are a lightworker, you might be easier to attach cords because you are trying to help others and you share your energy.

Remember that you have to protect your energy so that you do not have cords or people that are connecting to you. Channel your energy from a different source and make sure that you are using the resources you have to be strong.

Imagine a Shield

Imagine a shield of protection is covering you. You can imagine a cloak of protection or you can imagine a bubble surrounding you. You can visualize this as colored, or it can be clear.

The bubble will be there to bounce negative energy off of you and into the atmosphere. If there is someone that is always negative around you, learn to let your light pass through and to get to them so that the negative situation can become positive.

Find ways to send out your positive energy and when you are places that are very crowded, always put your bubble up to protect you.

Create any kind of protection shield that will keep you safe. This is up to you on what shape and color you choose.

Ask Your Guides to Protect You

You can call on your guides to help you to stay safe. Ask them to come to you and to put a protection around you to protect your energy and to protect your mind.

Your aura is there to keep you safe and when you are feeling negative in your life, ask your guides to come to you.

If you feel negative, you need to be happy to get your guides to help you to ward the negativity away.

If you are doing spiritual work, you need to make sure that you are healed and that you are protected from negativity. You have your guides to keep you safe and you will be safe if you ask them to protect you. You can also ask your spirit animals to come to you and to keep you safe.

They will often send you messages.

Conclusion

There are different ways that you can protect your spirit and that you can keep yourself safe. Always make sure that you keep your mind, body, and spirit safe and that you are shining your light to the world.

Release fear and allow the negativity to leave you and the light to come to you.
