Along with My yearly teacher, I also draw a monthly Helper teacher, who assists My main teacher, adding the lessons they are known for. All teachers work together, adding their combined strengths and positive energies, to help bring about balance to One's life. Please goto the next page, for a brief description of the Teachers, and the lessons and energies they bring.
The descriptions and lessons offered from these Animal Spirits, are taken from Growling Bear in his "Spirit Stone."
