Dr. Steven Farmer's Animal Spirit Guide Messages

Mouse, Panda, Unicorn, Grouse, and Manatee as Spiritual Guides

Sep 3, 2009

Species of animals, even mythical creatures, can serve as spirit guides in animal form and offer insight, direction, and support for those who call upon them.

Dr. Steven Farmer is a shamanic practitioner and author of Messages from Your Animal Spirit Guides Oracle Cards. Also an ordained minister and licensed psychotherapist, Dr. Farmer educates believers on how to connect with animal guides and receive their insightful messages.

The definition of totem or power animals may vary with respect to cultural distinctions. However, Dr. Farmer uses the term "animal spirit guide" to describe any type of spiritual guide that appears as an animal and represents its entire species.

Mouse as an Animal Spirit Guide

The mouse animal guide reminds you to be aware of other people's body language and casually observe lack of congruence with their verbal communication. Acute awareness of facial expressions and gestures can help you more fully understand what someone is attempting to express.

In order to avoid overlooking pertinent information, the mouse also suggests that you review any contracts or agreement documents. Study the details efficiently, consult experts as necessary, and make prudent decisions. The mouse spirit guide also warns that believers should not to spend hours nit-picking over the terms.

Panda as an Animal Spirit Guide

Those who would like spiritual support in creating a sacred space at home or work can enlist the help of the panda animal spirit guide. In developing a personal sanctuary, remember the attributes of the panda - solitude, gentleness, and privacy.

A physically and energetically cleansed space for contemplation, writing, or meditating can help you connect with your inner power and higher wisdom. Incorporate a sense of coziness, warmth, and relaxation that reflects your interests and tastes and serves as a personal retreat.

Unicorn as an Animal Spirit Guide

The unicorn's message as an animal guide involves mysticism, inspiration, and creative abilities. Unicorns evoke a sense of childlike playfulness, magic and fantasy, and free-flowing artistic expression.

If you've noticed the unicorn repetitively, its advice is to embrace your imagination and tap into your creative potential. Whether your express yourself through writing, poetry, singing, pottery, acting, or painting, the unicorn asks that you create out of pure love and joy, not with an explicit focus of monetary gain.

Manatee as an Animal Spirit Guide

Characteristics related to the manatee are love, exploration, calmness, surrender, and acceptance. If the manatee shows up as an animal spirit guide, you are counseled to surrender the current, predominant challenge in your life, choose peace instead of struggle, and accept what you cannot change.

The manatee realizes there are times to be a warrior and fight for your desires and beliefs, but some situations in life require you to release the need to control outcomes and allow the universe to generate a solution. Ask a manatee to be your guide if you have difficulty letting go.

Grouse as an Animal Spirit Guide

The grouse is associated with dancing, rhythm, personal power, flow, and the ancient, tribal essence of life. Random connections with the grouse coupled with a gut-instinct desire to move or drum rhythmically can indicate a strong message from this animal spirit to follow a path of dance and rhythm.

According to Dr. Farmer, the grouse guides you to fluidly express your body and soul, like when you were a baby in the womb and effortlessly relaxed to external vibrations. Ask grouse to help you experience the world more sensually by drumming and dancing to a beat that feels natural for you.

You can intentionally invoke an animal spirit guide into your life, or they can show up in dreams or visions, during meditations, or even in ordinary, physical reality as pictures, words, or actual presence. Pay close attention in your waking and subconscious life, and notice if a particular animal reveals itself at least three times consecutively in a short time span.

Refer to your own intuition or sources like Dr. Farmer's books on power animals and animal spirit guides to discover its underlying message. The relationship with animal spirits is sacred and can be maintained through communication, journaling, devotional items, and gratitude.
