Hiya
Have picked up Michael Harners book again, and have been reading what he has to say about power animals, he seems to stress that you should exercise (dance!) with your power animal at least weekly or it may leave you.
Now I haven't done any dancing since I did the course in Nov, and I know my guy is still with me, I haven't really felt it necessay.
Wondered if anyone else does this? And if so do you feel like it strengthens your relationship?

Hello Apache
Our animal allies get the opportunity to experience more life through us when we dance them.
I think they like it when we give them the opportunity to let them walk thru us or look thru our eyes at times too.

Hi Apache, there are no hard and fast rules with this. Someone stressing that you should dance weekly with your power animal or they may leave you doesn't sit right with me. That's just someones opinion. Do whatever feels right for you intuitively.
I don't talk with my guide for months but he will always come and help me if I call him.
Tigress, Interesting what you say about them walking through us and look through our eyes, I've felt this happen a few times with my guide, and on one occasion when I was singing to a favourite native american tune, it didn't sound like me singing.
I love to dance, and will at times spontaneously get up and dance, whether it be latin, native american stomping around, I definitely feel their presence when I'm dancing.
Love and light

Hiya
Thanks both of you, I don't feel as though I need to dance weekly with my power animal, although sometimes we dance on journey's which is always nice.
I know once I didn't journey for maybe 4-5 weeks, and my animal was irritated with me because I hadn't been to see him!
