Creating with the Help of Guardian Spirits
One of the keys, in the world of shamanism, to getting
what you need is communicating as clearly as possible to
your power animal or guardian spirit exactly what you want.
They are, of course, the power brokers who pull strings in
the spirit world to get results. However, keep in mind that
when you deal with them as agents, you lose a bit of your
control. You cannot make demands on or bully them and
expect results. In communicating with them, take a humble
position and make a request for their assistance. Also, it is
best if you state that you will accept whatever is most benefi-
cial for you at this time. The truth is that you can't see the
big picture as well as your guardian spirits can. They may
know that the new convertible sports car you want will kill
you prematurely before your life's work is done. So they will
arrange for the next best thing. You get what you need, not
necessarily everything you want.
When you ask your guardian spirits to help you get things,
you need to give up your control of the time frame as well.
Perhaps you want that new position that is opening up in
your company and you want it within two weeks. When you
ask your guardian spirits to help you, they may be able to see
that next month a much better position is opening up and it
would benefit you more to skip this one and go for the next
one. The reason you asked for their help in the first place is
because of this access to the big picture of the spirit world.
You can rely on it.
You may wish to ask your guardian spirit to show you the
big picture scheme so that you can understand better why
you are not getting what you what when you want it. This
can be fruitful. Yet don't be surprised if this information is
withheld from you either. Your guardian spirits know how
tricky you are. They may see that showing you the big pic-
ture is interfering with your free choice and creativity. Here
