Spirit Animals Ultimate Guide (One Persons View Point)

Are you interested in Animal Spirit Totem Meanings? Then this guide is for you!

A spirit animal is a healer, messenger, or teacher that has a special relationship with an individual. A spirit animal appears in the form of an animal that has a special appeal to the individual.

Spirit animals also go by the names animal helpers, powerful allies, spirit helpers, and animal guides. A spirit animal chooses you – you don’t choose your spirit ally.

Actually, if you feel a certain attachment to a spirit animal, it means that this animal has already chosen you.

This animal plays an important role in an individual’s life. It’s there to protect you, impart important lessons, and give you the guidance to make it in life.

It also provides you with power, wisdom, and immense knowledge.

Shamans and spiritual ministers from across the globe have relied on the wisdom and guidance of spirit animals since time immemorial.

Closely associated with spirit animals are animal totems. An animal totem is a symbol of your animal guide.

An animal totem is indicated by such symbols as jewelry, statue, crest, emblem, talisman, or a totem pole.

A totem can be used by a family lineage, a class of like-minded individuals, or an individual.

Your totem animal has the power to influence you throughout your life. This is because you feel a very strong affinity to the animal that has chosen you.

The Sun in X-rays from NuSTAR

Image Credit: NASANuSTARSDO

Explanation: Why are the regions above sunspots so hot? Sunspots themselves are a bit cooler than the surrounding solar surface because the magnetic fields that create them reduce convective heating. It is therefore unusual that regions overhead — even much higher up in the Sun’s corona — can be hundreds of times hotter. To help find the cause, NASA directed the Earth-orbiting Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) satellite to point its very sensitive X-ray telescope at the Sun. Featured here is the Sun in ultraviolet light, shown in a red hue as taken by the orbiting Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). Superimposed in false-colored green and blue is emission above sunspots detected by NuSTAR in different bands of high-energy X-rays, highlighting regions of extremely high temperature. Clues about the Sun’s atmospheric heating mechanisms come from NuSTAR images like this and shed light on solar nanoflares and microflares as brief bursts of energy that may drive the unusual heating.

Color Correspondence

Color correspondence is the way that the use of color will affect your magickal workings. From the color of the candles that you use to the color of clothes that you wear

It should be noted that this type of correspondence is not just associated with pagan followings or metaphysics.  There is scientific evidence about the relationship of color to mood, success and growth.  In many penal systems, when an inmate acts out of line (eq. gets in a fight), they are put into a “pink room” for a short time.  This, under short duration, is said to calm the suspect. But long time exposure to pinks or reds can have exactly the opposite effect.
