Contacting Your Spirit Animal
Sit comfortably, and do some deep breaths to clear your mind and center yourself. Listen to the drum and allow the pace to enter your body and your mind. Feel the rhythm of the drum resonates with the center of your being, transported to a deep state of relaxed awareness. Just take some time to it, allowing you to go deep.
Find yourself walking along a path. Your environment is your favorite place in nature, or somewhere you've been before, or somewhere that you are attracted.

Take time with this.
After a while, the road opens out into a clearing of some sort. Again, it suffices to note the details.
In the center of the clearing, you will notice a small pile of stones. Select them one at a time. Notice their colors and textures.
