In honor of my up coming workshop ”Awaken your Inner Shaman with Medicine Cards” on 9/10/2013 for Holistic and Spiritual Transitions- I decided to write a blog on medicine cards.
I see that there is allot of blogs written about Medicine cards aka Animal totems descriptions but, nothing about why a Healer or a person in need of a healing would use medicine cards. As a Master Psychic healer who uses medicine cards in my practices I wanted to explain why they are a great tool to utilize for healing.
Feel free to leave your questions or comments on this blog concerning medicine cards as a healing modality or psychic dosing tool.
“It is only through the trial of experienced the lows in life as well as the highs, and through the trial of trusting one’s connection to the Great Spirit, that the right to use the essence of Eagle medicine is earned.”
Animal Totems otherwise known as medicine cards were originated in native America. They believed that animal totems express the spirit nature of the species and exemplifies qualities we can learn from.
Animals medicine cards are read by understanding each animals behavior for survival, characteristics physical and all other qualities can be seen as psychological and spiritual symbolisms.
Animal totems are archetypes which work with the subconscious mind. Triggering emotional, mental, psychological and even physical responses. These responses are a gateway to our healing karmic imprints as they are a tool which can help us along our personal path to self discovery.
To best understand the lessons conveyed by the animals cards which we pull, is to understand their instinctual behaviors and natural habits. Understanding an animals behaviors gives us clues and messages into healing our own wounds and imbalances.
Everyone has animal guides the same as everyone has guardian angels. Many people have several animal guides within their lifetime. An animal guide can come into a persons life for a short time and be replaced by another, depending on an individuals journey and spiritual path.
The purpose of your animal totems is to help advise, guide, and protect you as you learn to navigate through a combination of physical and spiritual tests– otherwise known as life.
