Okay, so I’ve been feeling this pull towards understanding animal spirit guides lately. It’s like, I keep seeing owls everywhere – not real ones, mind you, but pictures, mentions in articles, even an owl-shaped cookie cutter! I figured the universe was trying to tell me something, so I dove in.
Getting Started: The Research Phase
First things first, I hit up the internet. I mean, where else do you go when you’re curious about something these days? I typed in “owl animal spirit guide” and, boom, tons of stuff popped up. I skimmed through a bunch of articles and blog posts, just trying to get a general sense of what it all meant.
It seemed like the owl is all about wisdom, intuition, and seeing through deception. Kind of like a wise old soul in bird form. That resonated with me, I guess, because I’ve always been the type to trust my gut.
My Own Owl Encounter (Sort Of)
So, after doing all that reading, I decided to try and connect with this owl spirit guide thing myself. I figured a little meditation couldn’t hurt. I found a quiet spot in my apartment, lit a candle (because, why not?), and closed my eyes.
I tried to picture an owl, you know, soaring through the night sky, all majestic and stuff. Honestly, my mind wandered a bit. I started thinking about what I needed to pick up at the grocery store and whether I’d paid that parking ticket. Oops.
But then, I refocused. I took some deep breaths and really tried to feel for any kind of presence. I didn’t see any flashing lights or hear any booming voices, but I did get this feeling of calm. Like, a quiet knowing that things were going to be okay. That’s a bit vague I think.
What Did The Practice Show Me?
- Trust Your Gut: I’m already pretty good at this, but the whole owl thing reinforced it. Sometimes you just know something, even if you can’t explain it.
- Pay Attention to Signs: Okay, maybe the owl cookie cutter wasn’t a sign from the universe, but it did get me thinking. I’m going to try to be more aware of the little things that happen around me.
- Embrace the Mystery: I’m not sure I totally “get” the whole spirit guide thing, but I’m open to it. There’s a lot we don’t understand, and that’s okay.
So, that’s my little journey into the world of owl spirit guides. It wasn’t exactly a Hollywood blockbuster, but it was interesting. I’m going to keep exploring and see where it takes me. Maybe I’ll even see a real owl someday!
