Your otter
Bryan,
What I am wondering is, how can an otter use his flippers to stuff big chunks of tuna into a little can and seal it? LOL Well, I first learned about this stuff from a book and card set that I bought at Barnes & Profit...oops I mean Barnes & Noble. It is called "Stone People Medicine" and the author is Manny Twofeathers, a well known Native American healer. Using and modifying techniques in this book and other books about Shamanism that I have come across, I learned how to use drum beats or music to bring out my animal guide. (I know this has nothing to do with freediving, so 99% of you can skip to the next message LOL). Anyway, once you're in a meditative or trancelike state from the music, you call out to your guide by four forceful beats of a stick (or you can even imagine beating the stick and it still works). Then you stay open and focused and whatever animal is yours will come, and believe me, you'll know it when it does! In my case, the grizzly came roaring out at me face to face from nowhere, and then joined with me and our spirits became one. Don't be afraid if the animal seems ferocious, that's only it's power you're looking at, and it's trying to help. Once the animal's spirit has joined with you, it is hard for diseases to stay, because there is no room for both- the animal's spirit will force the disease out. Direct the animal's spirit as to what is wrong, and both of you will act ferocious together pushing and filling up your body(hard to describe), and all of a sudden, you'll feel the disease get pushed out. I'm sorry if this sounds really "out there" or "Shirley Maclaine-like", but it really did work- there seems to be something to this stuff, and I call upon him whenever I need a lot of strength. You'll find yourself wanting to or even acting like the animal if you let yourself go. All I know is, I had a sinus infection that wouldn't go away for years, and my grizzly guide pushed it out of me in seconds, and haven't had to take a sinus pill since- unbelievable.
