Product Description

In POWER ANIMALS: How to Connect with Your Animal Spirit Guide, Steven D. Farmer, Ph.D., guides you through a journey on the enclosed CD to discover and connect with your power animal. Once you’ve determined who your power animal is, you can refer to the text to learn what this says about you, find instructions on how to call upon the spirit animal, and read a channeled message for you from that animal spirit. You’ll also find out which animal spirit to call on for particular situations, and additional tracks on the CD will help you consult your power animal as an oracle.

Your power animal will not only help you develop a greater sense of personal and spiritual power, but will also help you heal physically, emotionally, and spiritually—as well as guide you through difficult life transitions.

Your animal spirit guide can show up in its physical form; or you can contact it through meditations, journeys, or dreams and ask it for guidance, healing, or protection. Working with your power animal directly or through imagery and symbolism will put you in touch with your own instinctual nature, thereby increasing your intuitive awareness and enhancing every area of your life.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Book For Discovering Your Power Animal, October 6, 2004
"A power animal is just that: an animal spirit guide that will empower you and help you deal with both the spiritual and the earthly realm." --Dr. Steven Farmer in Power Animals

Ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds of the air, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish of the sea inform you. --Job 12:7-8

Shamans and indigenous cultures have long been familiar with the concept of animal guides. Animal guides are represented by animal forms, and provide information, guidance, and protection. Some people use the words animal totems and power animals interchangeably, but according to Dr. Steven Farmer in his new book Power Animals - How To Connect With Your Animal Spirit Guides, there is a subtle difference.

Totem animals are usually asssociated with groups, such as a tribal totem, clan totem, or family totem. Even contemporary cultures have totem animals, such as those for sports teams (e.g. Toronto Blue Jays), or clubs and societies (such as the Lions Club).

Power animals, however, are personal and specific. Like totem animals, they are guardian spirits who empower us. Yet, power animals have a unique and highly personal relationship with the individual, leading the way through non-ordinary reality. Power animals can be contacted through meditation, dreams, visions, and shamanic journeys. They can also appear in physical form, bearing an omen or message--depending on the context of the sighting, how often it appears, and how it is behaving.

Power Animals describes the three realms of non-ordinary reality--and the plane where power animals reside--the four channels of spiritual perception, and how to honor your power animal. Farmer gives a summary of 36 different power animals, including a channeled message from each, qualities of the animal, what it means when a particular animal is your personal power animal, when to ask for this animal's help, and how to access it's power. He acknowledges that his summaries aren't exhaustive, and there are other power animals that exist--including imaginary ones like dragons and unicorns.

Included with this book is a CD featuring guided meditations, with a run-time of 65:53. The first three featuring drumming with a particular rhythm, the fourth has a similar rhythm using a rattle, and the fifth offers a unique type of rhythm and sound using the didgeridoo and click sticks. The drumming and rattling are at the rate of 4 to 7 beats per second, which is the same rhythm that shamans use to induce a trance state in order to do their work.

Track 1: Journey To Retrieve Your Power Animal
Track 2: Guided Meditation Journey For Divination
Track 3: Self-Directed Shamanic Journey With Drum
Track 4: Self-Directed Shamanic Journey With Rattle
Track 5: Self-Directed Shamanic Journey With Didgeridoo

Personally, there are several birds and animals that I've identified with over the years--animals that gave me great wisdom. However, I never really felt that I connected with them as a power animal. (Of course, I didn't really try to establish a relationship, either.) I approached the process with an open mind, and listened to Track 1 which is a guided meditation to help you find and retrieve your power animal.

Farmer's soothing voice led me down into the earth and out into a place where I was to watch for animals that crossed my path. One could imagine a forest, mountain, desert, beach, ocean, and so on, and I was surprised that my visualization actually shifted between all of these terrains. Quite a few animals, including sea creatures and birds, crossed my path--but Farmer says to be on the lookout for the animal that appears 4 times.

I was quite surprised that a creature did, in fact, come to me 4 times. Most surprisingly, however, was that it was a creature I did not expect. As I "retrieved" this beautiful creature with Farmer's guidance, I felt a sacred joy and reverence fill my being--and tears welled up in my eyes.

After coming out of the meditation and reading about my power animal, I had to chuckle. It made such sense to me! In fact, in a personality system I have studied, my particular personality is often associated with this particular creature. Even the keyword for my power animal is reflected strongly in my astrological chart!

If you're looking for a simple but profound way for discovering your own personal power animals, I highly recommend this book and CD from Dr. Steven Farmer.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Resource Book, January 27, 2005
By K. Anderson (Camarillo, California) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Dr. Farmer has brought to us a simple yet very powerful resource guide to explore the phenomenon of animal guides. I have found this book so very helpful to help explain when certain animals have appeared in my dreams, my meditations and so on. The journey Dr. Farmer takes you on with his enclosed CD are great mystical travels through your innerself to bring forth that power animal that is by your side. I was astounded by which animal appeared when I did the CD meditation and when I read the description Dr. Farmer had provided in regards to that particular animal, it fit for me perfectly.

I enjoy in Dr. Farmer's book the information for each animal on how to work with their individual energy, how to bring this energy into your life. This is a great resource book that I highly recommend to anyone whose interests have been to discover the power in animals, who have acted from time to time as our spirit guides in our lives. Bless you Dr. Farmer for compiling this magnificent book of knowledge.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good reference, December 4, 2006
By FS "Reading Owl" (Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei Darussalam) - See all my reviews
I would have given it 5 stars if it has covered more animals in the wild.

But I like how Steven Farmer presented the info. It is so much easier to find the info you need since he made them into 4 sections as follow:
1. Your Power Animal's Message for You,
2. the qualities/ potentials in you if your power animal is, eg. an owl,
3. When to ask for your power animal's help,
4. How to access its power.

My book came with a shamanic journeying CD which I have only tried a few times. I prefer to meditate instead of journeying and the music actually distracted me or limited the length of time I have in interacting with my power animal. But that's just me.

I highly recommend this book for anyone who wish to get to know their power animal better or access its power.

With Metta.
