The Magic of Shapeshifting guides us through the levels of reality that lie outside our physical world and into the infinite universe that exists both within and beyond the limited boundaries of our senses. We can learn how to open to our inner animal self, which normally dwells within the subconscious, and let it pervade more of our conscious waking mind, or understand it, if the opening has taken place without our knowing it. Shapeshifters are people with animal medicine, who can connect with and use their animal powers. Often called simply "shifters," those with access to this magical power can shift mentally, astrally, or even physically into their power animal or totem.
