After any deep healing occurs of our emotional or subtle spiritual bodies an opening of our energy fields (chakras) also takes place. When this awakening happens in the third eye chakra (pineal gland) or crown chakra the awareness of other realms of consciousness can come into play. One type of these 5th dimensional forms of consciousness are known as spirit animals. Everyone has at least one spirit animal that consistently appears throughout life as a guide and many other animal spirits may come and go randomly as is necessary for your life's path.
Spirit animal energies usually come spontaneously into your awareness with a certain healing vibration. These energies are very subtle and if you are attuned energetically to these vibrations then they can also be called upon consciously. If your third-eye is open you will also see an image of that animal spirit being shown to you. Of course its always easier to connect with a certain animal spirit if you already have a strong connection with the natural world and that particular spirit energy itself.
This opening to other realms can come about in many ways through yoga, plant medicine, traditional shamanic immersion or other methods as there really aren't any rules to your own healing and awakening. Shamanic journey is a great way to connect with your spirit animal but it's not always necessary. If you are open and ready for healing it's possible these energies will come naturally.
Sometimes spirit animals may also appear to you in physical form by coming very close to you unexpectedly to give you a very strong message. Whenever they appear whether it's physically or in spirit form, always use your own intuition and inner knowing of what the message means to you, more so than what anyone else is saying. A spirit animal message or connection is not necessarily about manifesting what you want in the physical or sending you on another journey but is usually more about healing & transcendence.
If your energy is opening up it's always good initially to protect your energy in some way using sage, palo santo, black tourmaline, clear quartz, calling Archangel Michael or anything that is of protective power for you. If you have a genuine purity of heart then some very beautiful healing energies can come through and there isn't much to be concerned about when connecting with these energies. They will come bring a healing energy or message and then go. Only if you have any tendency to give attention to toxic energies or become attached will they come and appear to stay in a strange way. If these energies do come into your awareness it's important that they are seen with detachment. Observe the play without believing in it too deeply. You are always the greater in any moment to disengage if something doesn't feel right for you.
In my own life experience I've had some very beautiful healings occur in my energy field from these energies that can feel like a spiritual blessing and open you up to the abundance of the universe. As beautiful as these experiences are it's so important to realise that even though you may have awakened to other realms of consciousness it doesn't always mean that you have spiritually awakened to your true self. You must always stay vigilant at any given moment. Your own self is always the greater, the most healing, the most powerful and the highest of awakenings.
