1. You are not your thoughts. You are the awareness behind the thoughts. Thoughts are often negative and painful, yearning for or fearing something in the future, complaining about something in the present or fearing a matter from the past. However, the thoughts are not you; they are a construct of the ego. Awareness of your thoughts without being caught up in them is the first step to freedom.

Animal totems are wonderful allies. They help us to find strengths we didn’t know we possessed and show us creative ways to navigate our life paths. A reader may use cards or intuition to identify totem animals, but you can easily discern them on your own. Reoccurring animals, animals we are attracted to, and those that appear in our dreams may come bearing messages. They can be lifelong totems or transitional totems who are only visiting temporarily.
