Animal Wisdom

Our connection to the natural world is not only a gift, it is an imperative.  Every aspect of nature is intricately woven into our existence, and with that connection comes the responsibility to learn about and care for our environment. 

A study of Animal Wisdom is essential for understanding how the spiritual is manifesting in our lives. When we attune to an animal’s wisdom, we are connecting to its essence, and we can then align with that animal’s power or “medicine.” Our Native American relations have created a beautiful body of work that shares the unique essences of many animals. 

“When we learn to speak with the animals, to listen with animal ears and to see through animal eyes, we experience the phenomena, the power, and the potential of the human essence, and it is then that the animals are no longer our subordinates. They become our teachers, our friends, and our companions. They show us the true majesty of life itself. They restore our forgotten childlike wonder at the world, and they reawaken our lost belief in magic, dreams and possibilities.”  

“Animal Speak,” by Ted Andrews

Studying, observing, and communicating with many animals has been a source of awe, joy, and unconditional love in my life. May these stories open your hearts to the animals’ wisdom and medicine!
