After participating in the Ganesha Puja, I connected with my power animal. According to shamanism power animals are animal spirits that reside with each of us adding to our power, strength, and protecting us from illness and negativity. The animal spirit also lends various positive qualities to our personality. For example, the hawk lends wisdom and the lion grants courage and the ability to face fear with confidence.

Power animals can choose us or we can choose them. Different power animals may connect with us at different points in our lives. The psychic connection with a power animal is supportive, grounding, and connects us with the energy of nature and the earth. Power animals may also be mythical such as the dragon or unicorn.

After the Ganesha Puja I connected with my power animal. I received the distinct psychic impression that a large, fearless lion was residing with and protecting me from all harm and adversity. I am no longer as fearful, have more energy, and feel better able to cope with daily life.

It may seem like a small thing but to me it is huge. I have always been fearful and disliked any type of confrontation. The connection is subtle but powerful. I am very grateful that participating in the various pujas and other practices that Datta has given are dissolving my obstacles and assisting me in my spiritual growth.

It is also important to note that many animals are becoming endangered species. Connecting to a power animal renews our respect for the earth and all its creatures. Discovering a power animal can be achieved by going into meditation. Sometimes the power animal will simply appear in your life as mine did.

The Ganesha Puja was extremely powerful and meaningful for me. Many thanks to Astroved!
Namasthe!
