Who’s Your Spirit Animal? The Truth Might Surprise You

Do you know who your spirit animal is?

Even more important, do you have a personal relationship with your Spirit Animal? You should. They can help you in so many ways, as you’ll see. If you don’t yet, I highly recommend finding out. Because it might not be who you think! And you may be missing their important messages and guidance too.

First, do you know what a Spirit Animal actually is?

A spirit animal is characterized as a teacher or messenger that comes in the form of an animal and has a personal relationship with an individual. Other names might be animal guides, spirit helpers, spirit allies, power animals, spirit totems, or animal helpers.

WHO is your Spirit Animal?

I’ve been taught that each of us has 9 main ones, and others come along when it’s important to get our attention.

In advanced Animal Talk Coaching & Mastery Club Platinum member Masterclasses I host in The Heart School of Animal Communication® , students are guided to discover their spirit animals. The student’s discoveries were mind-blowing, and the experience changed their lives for the better on so many levels.

My first experience with this was extraordinary. During an unforgettable shamanic underworld journey while in an advanced workshop hosted by Penelope Smith, I was guided to find and bring back my partner’s spirit animal. Her’s was a wonderful, mischievous, creative, and highly intelligent Monkey.

What’s Your Spirit Animal? The Truth Might Surprise You

The monkey spirit animal is a powerful symbol of good luck. This is because it represents a playful and lighthearted version of yourself. The meaning of the monkey seeks to awaken your youthful and cheerful spirit and the inner child in you.

Monkey rocked her world, literally and figuratively! But that’s a story for another time.

An unlikely match…? Meeting my spirit animal shocked me.

So who do you think my partner found for me? I would never have guessed this one.

I can tell you I was absolutely shocked when she returned from her journey and revealed my spirit animal to me.

I’d been imagining all sorts of wonderful animal spirit totems, like Bear, Wolf, Hawk, Horse… maybe the noble Mountain Lion, Eagle, or the nimble Rabbit!

I could barely wait to find out who my spirit animal was. But I never could have imagined the reality.

She said: “Your spirit animal… is a Snake”.

Snake Spirit Animal

Facing my fears.

I could only gape at her with my mouth hanging open as I sat there, stunned. I couldn’t help but think there must have been a mistake.

It’s not that I don’t like reptiles, I love all creatures. But I’d never felt a strong affinity for snakes before, let alone considered them kindred spirits or a guiding Messenger.

I had a healthy respect for snakes, born out of several close encounters I’d had where I felt lucky to have escaped unharmed. Because of that snakes have always been a bit scary for me. They’re not warm or fuzzy or cuddly. In fact, they can kill people.

Surely she’d done the exercise wrong?

So I had to ask: “A snake? Really?” Honestly, I felt scared at first.

But, I took a few deep breaths, gathered my courage as best I could, and got ready to face my fears.

I tuned in to meet Snake.

In my vivid imagination and inner mental monitor, she was huge! She lay coiled around a large tree limb, calmly looking down at me.

Easily 200 pounds or more, she was a stunning iridescent green. She greeted me as I looked up at her.

I asked my spirit animal if she had a message for me?

She did. She talked to me about reclaiming my power and shedding toxic energy.

I was suffering in an abusive marriage. I knew exactly what she was talking about.

Then, she taught me about masks and identities. She told me that just like a snake sheds her skin as she grows, I would also drop away that which no longer served me.

She taught me about transmuting poison—changing and growing something that had been toxic into something beautiful.

I was suffering from advanced Lyme Disease at that time, and through Snake’s help, I began to recover.

She taught me so many things that I needed to learn in order to move forward from the period of life I was in and showed me the importance of boundaries, self-respect, and clarity. She also taught me to appreciate and use my own wisdom.

Learn How to Talk with Animals

Your Spirit Animal is a Messenger for Clarity, Guidance, and Self Growth Dedicated to Your Highest Good.

Because of her insightful counseling that day I began making changes in my relationships and in my life. I learned how to defend myself better and began standing up for myself more.

It was a life-changing conversation. When I got back home from the workshop I did more research into the meaning of Snake as a Spirit Animal or Totem.

What I found out was so on target, I felt blessed and in awe of the Divine Gift I’d received.

The snake as a spirit animal is powerfully connected to life force and primal energy. In many cultures, the snake is revered as a powerful totem representing the source of life itself.

I found out that when the snake appears in your life, as spirit animal or otherwise, it likely means that healing opportunities, important transitions, and increased energy are manifesting.

Snake Spirit animal

Snake as a spirit animal is a symbol for healing

As I mentioned above, the snake represents life force. Being a reptile, it is very close to earth energies and is reminiscent of unconscious drives and primal instincts. When the snake appears to you as a spirit animal, pay attention to where you are drawing your energy and how you use it.

If you feel you have an affinity with the snake and think she might be your spirit animal, this could be a signal to be sensitive to your healing abilities, not only for others but for yourself as well.

Focus on cultivating sources of energy and support, especially as they relate to the earth and nature.

Snakes have been revered as symbols of healing powers and opportunities since ancient times. In Greek mythology, Aesclepius, the god of medicine, was depicted with two snakes climbing up a rod. This symbol, called the caduceus, remains today as a common association symbol associated with healing.

Snake as spirit animal—what does that mean for you?

When Snake shows up as your spirit animal, it usually means:

  • An element of healing in your life, either of healing others or being healed;
  • Transformation, life changes;
  • Lifeforce and primal energy is a factor in your life;
  • Spiritual guidance plays a large role in your life.

The snake as a spirit animal can provide guidance about any life changes and transitions in your life, whether they are happening on the physical, emotional, or spiritual level.

You just need to learn how to tune in and listen to the messages.

Tuning in, connecting with the animals and nature around me has been my path for most of my life. Since I met Snake in 1996, I’ve developed my communication, healing, and transformational abilities further and faster and deeper than I could have ever expected.

I feel humbled by that experience, and also in awe of the process of discovery that I have gone through.

Exploring Animal Consciousness: Time Travel to Heal Past Wounds

Have you ever thought about the concept of animal consciousness? Did you know that, just like us, our pets have thoughts, feelings, memories, and traumas that they carry with them throughout their lives?

As years go by and these experiences are not healed or expressed, animals can develop anxieties and poor behaviors as a way of dealing with them. 

How can we help our beloved friends heal from their pasts if we don’t understand? If we don’t know how to hear them?

A technique I affectionately call “time travel” is one of my best methods for healing the pasts of our animals as well as our own. Through exploring animal consciousness in this way, we are allowed to move forward with our lives, leaving past traumas and injuries behind us.

Perhaps the animal in your life has been abused, lost, or abandoned. Perhaps they’ve been hurt in an accident, or suffered a grievous emotional wound.

Or maybe something happened that shocked them so deeply they’ve never been able to recover.

Maybe they experienced a painful traumatic death when they lost a loved one. They feel guilty and haunted by what happened, unable to find peace or closure, filled with regrets. Humans aren’t the only ones who have these types of experiences.

As a caring animal lover or pet companion, you have the ability to communicate with animals. All it takes is commitment and a sincere desire to learn. Click here to check out the Heart School of Animal Communication® and learn your path to becoming a master animal communicator! 

But…there is a way to break through and help our animal loved ones.

My time travel technique can help them leave behind the emotional baggage that no longer serves them and feel more at peace with the events.

When we practice this technique with sincere intention and an open heart, our pets—and us along with them—can finally take that sigh of relief, come back, center in the present time and let go of what’s been stuck like glue emotionally, mentally, spiritually and physically. They can feel at peace and be the animals they want to be.

There are so many amazing benefits for your pets when you, their closest companion, begin to open your mind to exploring animal consciousness. They have more clarity. More compassion for what happened to them and those who may have been responsible. They feel more whole again as they heal, evolve and grow.

A story of healing: a puppy finally grows up.

One of my clients, Andy, had had her black lab since he was a puppy. Blue was five years old when Andy got in touch with me. He was skittish, fearful, and terribly afraid of men, noises, and brooms. Interestingly, when I spoke with Blue, it felt like I was talking to a little puppy of about three months old, not an adult dog. You see, internally Blue had never grown up because he was stuck in his inner puppy state. He got stuck at a certain point in his development because of a traumatic event and injury.  

When Blue was growing up, a man attacked him with a broom. It scared and hurt him so badly that it shocked him. Like so many other animals who have trauma happen to them at a young age, he had no one to talk to about what had happened. He had no way to process the experience. So he could never let go of it.  

When I talked to Blue, I acknowledged his inner wounded puppy, connected with him deeply and invited him to tell me the story of what happened. Baby Blue poured his heart out, and I listened compassionately until I got the whole story. I noticed where the puppy was still stuck, so we went there and freeze-framed the video while we discussed it.  

Problem Solving with Pets

When he finished the story, I gently and lovingly told him I was so sorry that had happened to him.

I told him why the man did that (in truth I basically made up a reason because there’s no way I could really know that. But I was in tune with the overall energy and the man’s presence, so I could read the scenario pretty well). And I carefully explained that it was okay to let that part go now.  

I continued to share with him that that was then and this was now. Now, his loving person cared about him and would never hurt him intentionally. Also, I let him know that other men wouldn’t hurt him either; the man who hit him is in the past.

As we talked, the inner puppy began to grow up.

Later, Andy told me her dog’s behavior and personality had changed dramatically She felt like she had her dog back. The fears and skittishness weren’t as strong, and Blue had even met a man he was friendly with. They were still working on the broom problem but again, Blue’s behavior was different. He was making good progress in his training.  

Over the years I’ve helped so many people connect with their animal companions through animal consciousness awareness. I created my techniques from things I’ve learned from books, my own therapy over the years, and my education and training in BodyTalk, BodyMind Assessment, Remote Viewing, Akashic Records training, Reconnective Therapy, Dov Baron Institute, Quantum Leap therapies, and the Lionheart Institute. It’s one of the things I do very well and with great results. Mastering this unique intuitive skill is important because when you communicate with an animal and they need to tell you about a past traumatic event, or their person is struggling over something they’ve experienced, then you’ll know exactly what to do to help them.

Einstein Talks About Animals as Divine Beings

You may have heard of me? I’m Einstein, the dog genius disguised as a Miniature Schnauzer.

EinsteinwithframeI know that may be a bit lofty sounding, but hey it’s just the simple truth!

When I was alive, my mom was Val Heart, The Real Dr Doolittle, who I think you know? She’s cool! I’m glad she was my Mom.

In case you missed the stories about how I came into my Mom’s life that Mom insists on telling periodically (how embarrassing!), I thought you might enjoy this one.

When I was only 10 weeks old I wrote this (with my Mom’s help) for a celebrity Dog Blog. I thought it might help inspire you today.

Here’s what I said and I still believe it to be Truth today:

Message from 10 week old Einstein:

I’m learning to live in the human world quickly – there are lots of rules here, aren’t there? It can be very confusing, but my person Val is teaching me many new fun tricks (at least I’m letting her think she is teaching me. The truth is I’m actually teaching her!). I like making her happy because she is a special person.

One of the first questions Val asked me for the Best Friends Society Celebrity Blog fundraiser was what I thought about Divine Beings…

To help you better understand my answer, I should tell you that I first let Val know that I was coming into her life through dreams and visions before I was even born. It took her 3 months to find where my doggie mommy lived, and for her to prepare our home for me to come live with her.

I was barely born when she knew which of the 5 tiny newborn puppies was ME. She said it was love at first sight.

Just 8 weeks later she brought me home and it’s been an amazing journey ever since. (hint: Val&Einsteinat10weeksoldwithframeDON’T ask her about my baby pictures or we’ll be here all day!)

When I got ready to reincarnate, I wanted to be with a human that would understand and partner with me in helping people and their animals be more balanced and happy. You have to admit that Val is exactly the right person for that!

Val understood my mission right away because she shares that vision with me.

I wanted to share my soul wisdom that I brought with me into this life. You know what an important place we furrkids hold in your life and your heart because we chose you and came to be with you as your guides and teachers.

I know we are ALL Divine Beings. The Divine Spark is in each of us because we are all elements of pure consciousness, quarks in the Quantum Resonance Field, coming from True Source. We simply have different bodies to express ourselves with.

I came to Earth to do my soul work, which is helping my human mother teach other humans how to talk to their animal friends. I know my Val has years of experience doing this, but together we can make an even bigger difference in the world.

You know that we animals try to communicate with people all the time. We have important messages, insights to share, information about things you don’t know. We want to tell you what’s bothering us, where we hurt – we can even tell you where YOU hurt!

We know what happened in our lives to make us the way we are and why we behave the way we do. It makes sense to us. And we know how to make your life easier and more fun, and healthier too. Humans just need to take the time to listen, and learn to speak our language better.

It’s so hard sometimes to communicate with people because humans can be so dense! I also want people to realize that we reflect your own imbalances, wounds and issues which makes us your very best teachers, guides and healers.

You have a lot to learn from us.

animals as divine beings 2Learning how to learn from me and my fellow beings connects us all at a deeper level, helps you be a better human being – more balanced, kind, and considerate; helps you be healthier and clearer about who you really are, who we animals really are.

And when we do that together, we can completely transform the quality of life on our planet.

And our planet really needs our help right now…

So, YES I believe I’m a Divine Being just as I believe YOU are too!

You have a job to do here too. And we have our own jobs to do too.

Do you know what your animal’s job is?

If so, good for you! I hope you are helping each other do your good work. Mother Earth needs you to be your very best.

If not, then isn’t it time you did? Talking with your Master Teachers disguised as animals can help you A LOT, because we know more than you do sometimes, and we know things you don’t. All you have to do is ask us, we’ll tell you.

My Mom can help you with that. She helps people and their animals all the time.

If you haven’t started learning how to communicate with animals yet, then please don’t wait.

And if you have already started learning how to speak our language but you haven’tmastered the art of the conversation??

Get going now, okay?

We animals don’t live very long in these bodies, and we don’t want to waste a single minute of our time with you.

Animals are sentient, intelligent, wise beings. We come into your life for a reason. When you learn how to recognize, respect and revere us for who we truly are? We help you become a better human BE’ing.

A lot of folks look at me and just see a cute dog. Now YOU know better!

Seriously? You just never know who you may be living with until you communicate with them!

Wags and kisses,

Einstein Heart
