It occurred to me that with the popularity
of Getting Out Of Your Own Way, that it would be wonderful to combine
this essence with the essences of different totem animals. When we work
with an animal we feel is a totem or one that can helps us with a particular
issue, the work progresses much more quickly and often brings us even
greater healing and awareness than we had originally expected. There
is also a sense that we are not undergoing life's problems alone but
that we do have powerful friends and allies who are right there with
us every step of the way. To truly understand what a totem means to
us as individuals takes research into the totem's natural lifestyle
and way of navigating in the world. Knowing how a particular totem lives,
what it eats, what sounds it makes to connect with others of it's own
kind, even what kind of physical structure it has can give us clues
as to how we can work more closely with that totem's energy to benefit
not only us, but others as well. We too are connected with the earth.
We are kin to all the creatures that inhabit this wondrous planet and
when we remember this, our lives become fuller and enriched far beyond
what we might have expected. We no longer feel alone for we know that
there our totems are always with us, guiding us, loving us and showing
their support in many ways. I know that for myself when I walk the streets
alone late at night I feel no fear for my Wolves are right there beside
me. When I am facing a problem or a challenge that seems to be too much
for me to cope with, my Crows bring me comfort and messages that all
really is alright for they too are on the job, seeking to bring me all
the resources I need at the time to make it through. I encourage everyone
who is drawn to these and the other Shamanic essences to explore the
worlds of totems for themselves. When we ask to understand our totems,
ask how they seek to work with us and do so with an open mind and heart,
they always answer. And that is a promise they have made to us. Now
we must make the promise to listen to them! There will be many more
totems added to this series over time and we suggest you check back
frequently. If you are seeking a totem energy that is not listed here,
please contact us as we may have already produced the essence and yet
have not been able to update this section of the web page as of yet.

Remembering that anything is possible and
that keeping an open mind allows the Universe to unveil its full wonder

true assistance you can gladly accept what they have to offer.

that life sometimes can be scary and yet a grand adventure at the same
time. That as we progress in spiritual awareness there are moments when
things appear to be totally chaotic or even bizarre, yet a Higher Force

be given to us.

Not allowing yourself to become trapped in
another's teachings but making the best of what is offered to you and then

you must look within yourself to find them rather than relying on some
one else to tell you what is right and true for you. For those who feel
they are "Lone Wolves", those who are always ahead of the pack in search
of new territory and evolution and thus feel lonely or cut off from the
rest of their group. Helps to attract other people of like mind who can

Kingfisher - Getting Out Of Your Own Way
Helps to release the need for drama, creating
crises after crises in one's life. Dwelling on problems instead of following
one's inner guidance on how to best resolve the issue. For those who find
they are "crises junkies" this essence can be invaluable. This is also
excellent essence for those coping with relationship problems and who feel
there are no solutions or that help is not forthcoming. Helps both those
involved to understand the dynamics of the issues at hand and what can
be done to best resolve the problem. For those who feel that parting is
the best step to take, this essence helps those involved to work through
