A healer that I once saw taught me the importance of nurturing our animal side as well as our spiritual side in order to lead a balanced and complete life. Shamans also strongly believe in the nurturing of this also. If you would like to get in touch with your animal side, too, follow these steps.

    How to Get in Touch With Your Animal Side

  1. Step 1

    Observe animals. You will see that they act on their instinct, They act rather than procrastinate. Animals also do not live in fear. When they need to retreat to heal a wound, they do so.

  2. Step 2

    Incorporate some animal characteristics into your life, try to follow your instincts more. Lead a less fear based life if you do not already do so.

  3. Step 3

    If you are able to do so and have the time to look after one, bring an animal into your life such as a dog or a cat. Learn about the unconditional love that animals give.

  4. Step 4

    If you are unable to look after an animal, think about sponsoring one or find out about doing some voluntary work in an animal center.

  5. Step 5

    Find out what your totem animal in spirit is and nurture your relationship with this animal.
