I want to begin this book by telling you that all the people of the earth, AND THIS INCLUDES YOU, are special in that they are not only a human being but that they are a beautiful spiritual being. Each person has a spiritual soul that is connected to The Creator, Mother Earth, and all of creation on the earth. For you see, everything and everyone is related and connected. All of creation includes the humans, the animals, the earth, environment, plants, trees, the mountains, the elements, the rocks and so forth. Through your spiritual soul and heart, you can become a partner with your power animal guides and Mother Earth and assist in the healing of the earth and more importantly, in healing yourself.
Every person has at least nine power animal totem guides that surround their spirit: east, south, west, north, upper, lower, within, right side and left side. They walk beside you to protect, guide, teach and communicate wisdom to you through your soul and heart. They are like guardian angels, from either the domestic or wild animal kingdoms, and include birds, fish, reptiles, and insects.
• Your east power animal guide assists you with your spiritual growth and leads you on your path to illumination.
• Your south power animal guide protects your pathway and assists you with physical healing.
• Your west power animal guide assists you with searching deep within through meditation to find inner answers and truth. It assists you to balance your emotions and be true to yourself.

• Your within power animal totem is usually your guardian power animal guide from birth. It guides you to find your true spiritual pathway, find joy and truth in your life. It assists you with developing your intuitive abilities.

The Animals as Our Partners
When I talk about animals being our partners, I include all animals, domestic and wild, as well as insects, reptiles, fish, whales, dolphins and so forth. Animals unconditionally accept humans. An example of this is the loyalty displayed by our domestic family dogs. They protect our family members and no matter what we do to them, they unconditionally forgive us and are loyal to the family.
If you take the time to observe your domestic pets, they can teach you a lot about survival on earth and moreover, they can teach you how to interact with each other for again they emulate the qualities of unconditional loyalty, forgiveness and love.
Animals out in the wild, if you observe them, are powerful examples of survival, clear communication, both silent and verbal, and through their actions they teach us useful inter-personal skills.
All of the animals desire us to be good stewards and guardians of the earth and the environment. If we, as humans, are ready to communicate with them and show them we truly care about them and the earth, the result is that the earth and all of humanity will be healed.
