The Test Blog for Blogger and Gadgets: My Thoughts On Shapeshifting

Hello, dear friends and followers. I am happy to see you here today. I have my own personal story and experience to relate to you on the topic of shape shifting. Please sit back and relax and take five to read. Thank you.

My Thoughts On Shapeshifting

First of all, no matter what you do you are not going to physically turn shapes just by willing it. Turning into the shape of an animal, well, you can just drop that idea right now. But shapeshifting is a reality.

It is done through visualization coupled with two-way communications with an animal's subconsciousness, so that you may carry the power and abilities or instinctive characteristics of an animal with you when you need it. It's rather like remote viewing through an animal's eyes.

This ability appears to come more naturally to those who have empathic sensitivities and are sensitive to their surroundings. Creating a mental image in your mind of the fiercest or strongest beast you know of as an aid to build the courage to overcome adversity is an example of this type of empathy.

Drawing on the power of an animal's spirit in such a way is a first step to shapeshifting. It is also a way of getting to know an animal better, to feel them and become “as them” so that you are both as one.

Walk a mile in another man's shoes then you are the man.

In other words it's very much like mental telepathy, but I prefer calling it mind speak, that is, thoughts transferred from one mind to another, or mind projections. The recipient of the thoughts accepts them as its own.
Your thoughts now travel in the animal's mind and you see through its eyes. This was an old Native American trick, to project your mind in a wolf's, lets say, and the wolf scouts the enemy camp. Enemy pays no attention, all they see is a lone wolf.

You can be the mouse scurrying on the forest floor trying to outrun the eagle, or you can be the eagle chasing the mouse. It's always about feelings. You believe your inner sensitivities and go with them. They will not steer you in the wrong direction. Close your eyes and speak with the birds, mind speak, and they will answer.

Finally, shapeshifting allows you to take on animal form while on a shamanic journey, or astral plane while you sit in a comfortable position where there will be no distraction. In your office, your car in the parking lot, or in your home, wherever time allows. Your comfort is the most important thing. Be really comfortable.

Relax, close your eyes, call and envision and greet the animal spirit to which you wish to shapeshift. Let yourself become that animal in posture, stance, movement and sound (empathy). How does this animal see, hear, taste, touch, smell? What is it experiencing? Envision yourself moving as it would move. Become it with all the abandon of a small child. Experience it as long as you wish. When you choose, thank the animal spirit that has helped guide you in learning its ways and then return to your human body. Write or draw your experiences if this helps you.

You can do this with as many creatures as you wish, getting comfortable with their different forms and abilities, so that if you are in need of their strengths you need only do them for short lengths of time, because if you do it too often it becomes like a mask. On the other hand, masks have been used as a focus to help in the mindshift used in shapeshifting and might be something you would like to try.

The most profound effect of shapeshifting that people can see is shadows or shapes that are there at the peripheral vision or part of something, like a bush, the side of the house, behind the car, the lamp post, then blink, and nothing.

What these shadowy beings are I have no idea but because they are shadows I have never felt anything malevolent from them. I have had one in particular who has been with me since I was 9 years old, but that's another story.

My friends, the shapeshifters? Of course, I see many of them in the woods.

Again, I strongly suggest you should be careful not to take on any one form for too long. Changes in your abilities will happen with time, not by keeping the abilities of a certain animal with you at all times. Do not learn too well. It is all well and good to want the courage of a lion, but do you want the arrogance and pride with you at all times as well?
