Among the topics covered are: · How to use animals as sacred guides · How to choose which power animal to connect with · How to use specific power animals for personal power · How to use the medicine wheel to work with power animals Also included is a power animal encyclopedia with prayers, exercises, and chants to help readers communicate and collaborate with these powerful spirit entities.
