Belive it or not there are several diffrent types of spirits that exsist in the community. I will attempr to name them all from my own perspective and hopefully help you understand why there are so many diffrences in expirience and belife.

A spirit guide: is a spiritual entitiy that often takes the form of an animal, but not always. It can also take the form of a person, object or other. It’s intended purpose is to guide you in your life. There are two types of spirit guides; permanent and temporary. While a person can have several temporary guides he only has one ( very rarely more than one) permanent guide.

Spirit link to an animal: This would indicate that you have a connection to areal animal living somwehre int he wild at this very moment. Spirit links like this tend to work on the same principale as the theory of twins does. When the animal feels pain so do you, when your sad so it is sad. The diffrence is that in very strong connections control can be established (usually by the human counterpart) upon one of the linked subjects by the other.

“The accidental spirit”: I refer to the theory of a wolf spirit being born intot he “wrong” body, not a good theory in my mind but a populare one by many therians and otherkin. It sais that a person is born with the wrong body.

Possesion: Possesion occurs when a spirit takes hold of a human body. Sometimes this can be benefital at others damming. It means the partial or complet loss of ones bodily freedom to an entity that is alien tot his world. A spirit that posses a human body does supposedly linger around the subject for a time or even until death as a bond can sometimes form via this expirience.

Spirit merger: This is the theory I follow. A spirit either is either helped, lured or laches on and merges with a human soul. Thus making the two one entity and inseperable. Sometimes there is really no case of one begging and the other ending. Both are one person. In this theory it is the human who is predominant, striking a kind of symbios witht he spirit from the spirit realm. This theory is better to me because it in part explains the personal freedom of choice and the look of the animal we have.

Also remember that a spirit need not be an animal, you chose the form of it in my opinion what it is and what you shift into. (to an extent you have control)

What is an otherkin? what is a werewolf? what is a therian? what is the spiritual relam? exactly what is shifting?

We all seek to understand the world around us and this goal is no diffrent. Deep down inside we might want results and the confirmation of our own truth. But what is your definition of truth. What is it you actually seek. The goal become a werewolf sounds nice but what is it really that you understand under it.

Do any of you even know the answer to the questions above? Has anyone even asked what he is really doing before deciding on this goal

I ask a lot of questions but the most important question one should ask on this goal is this: why are you here?
Not in the manner of what is your destiny in life but why have you chosen this goal?

To me there are only two kind of people on this goal the sincere and the dishonest. You NEED to know that there are people on this site who will mislead you, who will lie to you and who will take advanteg of your young age or your want to belive. You can say you heard this warning all before but please hear me out and allow me to share with you a personal expirience.
When I was 15 I was considering suicied and than I found a calling and eventually came upon this goal. I was so busy with finding some confirmation that I am a werewolf or a wolf or a therian (at the time there really wasn’t any diffrence to me), so I threw in my lot with an “alpha” who I didn’t really know all to well. Now in order to cut a long story short I was in nothing short but an online styled cult-like group. The alpha wasn’t real and he lied to me and other members but due to my willingness to belive I personally didn’t pay attention to the warnings. I had several break downs from age 15-17 due to it. But in the end I was lucky, I had met the right people to help me out of it and this was all online for me, if it was a physical group, who knows what might have happened.

People on this goal want to belive, nobody chose this because it was cool (well maybe a few liked certain aspects of it) but rather because they wanted to be accepted. Look I hear you all I know how it is not to fit in and to feel like your completley without purpose. I also ain’t saying that everything you heard here isn’t true. The meditations, spiritual, physical and mental expiriences may all very well be true. But you need to accept the fact that what you want to belive in may not always translate into reality simply because you wanted it to be. Blind faith in anything leads to maddness and escapism.
My advice to all of you is not to stop beliving in this goal, but to explore it in depth and take anythign you hear with an amount of scepticism. This doesn’t change the spiritual aspect or even the dream of shifting. It simply requiers that if you make a claim on something or if someone makes a claim to youu that you make sure that it did happen before saying it’s real because you want it to be real.
It’s like the old story of saying ohh hi I shapeshifted. Can you actually prove it? From my expriience the real shifter won’t care who belives him so he won’t make claims to things like this unless armed with evidence. After all you wouldn’t go around saying your god without being able to perform a miracle would you?

Don’t mix my warning here with discouragment, my purpose is the opposite. I don’t want you to simply achieve this goal, I want you to understand it and not be dragged down a trap like I was.

If anyone wants to continue this topic or even ask for further info on this issue, or just plain talk than by all means add me to skype, my skype name is tirenan, my country of origin is slovenia (well not really but thats where you’ll find my accaunt on skype).

Sorry I made this so long, hope you enjoyed the read.

P.S. to the other half of the people who shouldn’t really be here, seriously I seen your kind and in 5 years it hasn’t changed, you joke and you fall by the side, get a life.

It is an old topic I made awhiel ago when there weren’t that many people to use it. It is from my own handbook so it might not work for everyone, still I had a lot of success with a few of my pack brothers.

Meditation tip #1, focusing
I often find it hard to focus during some of my meditations. I simply find that I have too many things running through my mind at a time to really focus myself. When I wish to meditate I go to my room, I shut the windows, roll down the curtains and lay on my bed. I remove the pillows and the cover so that I am able to lay completely flat, otherwise I find that if any part of my body has an elevated position that my energy flow is a bit more difficult.

Well most people get to this stage on their own. I even go to such extremes to put over headsets or cotton in my ears to eliminate sound interference. Well however you get to this point, you will probably find that the next obstacle to overcome is your own mind. The stress of the day, the simple thought process and the things that happened need to be removed before trying to meditate. I use a very straight forward method to achieving focus. I place a coin or similarly round object on my forehead on the spot of the third eye. I than let my thoughts flow, getting them out of my system, purging my psyche in a sense. After 10 minutes of focusing I remove the object. It is a nice side effect that you can still feel your third eye. But anywho it does work for me and I find that I am able to go deeper due to it. If you’re not too big on the third eye than simply holding an object and using it as a focusing tool for your energy can do wonders. Just be creative whit it.

Good luck

Meditation tip #2, reaching the high
During ones meditation as you focuse and as you concentrait some don’t realize the point where they can stop concentrating and just let go. The high is meant to embody that point during ones spiritual excercise when everything aligns and he fully enters the spiritual realm (or just to a greater degree). During that point a persone might be overcome by a single strong emotion, feel a change in the temperature, feel his body seize up or see flashes of images cascade befor ehis eyes. It is diffrent for everyone.

For me personaly I feel something like chils on the inside of my body,this happens no matter the temperature and even during summer I get this effect. As to why this happens, well any number of guesses are possible, but the most straight foward one is that your energy touches that of the spiritual and both realign themselves so you can understand one another. If you are so fortanate to reach this point than I advise you keep focuse up for another minute or two and than just let go, bassicly allow yourself to be taken upon the course the spiritual realm is shifting towards.

Letting energy flow thrghou you and being open to it is an important step in ones development in this. Only by allowing the energy to flow thrghou you can you hope to sense it, understand it and finnaly manipulate it.

Reaching the high personaly takes me about 10 minutes and it isn’t something that should be feared, I actually find it refreshing when I reach the point. It’s somewhat similare to jumping into cold water on a hot summers day.
Well good luck all and if you have your own personal expiriences reaching the high please post them.

Meditation tip 3#, hightide, lowtide
This won’t be as much a real meditation tip post as it will be a post to point something out and hopefully to give you some motivation.
Often during your dive into spirituality you will expirience highs and lows. What is a high and a low? Well a high is when your own spirituality, the abilitys that come whit them and the very way you feel the spiritual will be at a high point. You might feel energetic, wolfish, being able to read people, see auras, or do even more wicked things besides that. A low on the other hand is exactly the opposite, you feel drained, and unable to sense the spiritual around you, you might be tired, unmotivate, unable to even focuse or meditate, bassicly your in the dumps spirit wise.
This isn’t necessarly your fault, the spiritual currents or energy doesn’t flow at an even pace but it is more likened to an ocean, always rising at high tide only to recced at low tide. It could have something to do whit your actual location (spirit hotspots), it could have something to do whit the people around you or it can have something to do whit yourself and your emotions.
The basic message to take when enjoying a hightide or a lowtide is that energy is in constant motion and all power is fleeting. As an individual you can break the patern of feeling weak in a low tide or keeping yourself from drifting away in a hightide by your own personal motivation, but more often than not I feel that it is best to talk to people during such periodes and rely on them a bit to help you get by it.

Meditation tip 4# how to sense people
To sense people, or to read as it is more commonly known, is usually a very early skill developed during ones reach into the spiritual. It often has more to do whit knowing the individual in question and knowing how to react to his mood swings and such than it is a “special power”. 80% of reading is knowing a person and reading bettwen the lines, 20% is actual instict and sensing, but regardless of the percentage, combining the two is needed for a sucesful read.
One thing you should know about reading is that it is in a sense an intrusion of the other persones psychi, so one should only acuratly use it in training sessions or if it is a matter that requiers it. Of course mind you that once you do gain this ability, it is hard to turn it off in a sense.
So how is it done?
Well the first thing you need to do is keep an open mind, the second is be positive in your own abilitiys. Always remember the more you have faith in your own strength, the higher your motivation is and whit it the higher the chance of success. Often the reading process is done during a chat, you can even try it online (although internet is a poor substitute for the real thing), you should wonder about the spoken word, how it is spoken and wonder as to why it is spoken. Don’t go to far into thinking otherwise you might just confuse yourself whit your own thought pattern. Keep your mind plain and simpple and act on instinct. Try and feel a persone in a sense. Those further in spirituality will know exactly what I am talking about, but as for those just starting out, try and play a guessing game whit an individual. Each of you should write down and imagine a number, colore, name, place or persone and the other individual should proced in triing to read it. You will find that you will of course have more luck whit some people than whit others but this has more to do whit the energy pattern the persone has, how it relates to you and so on, but that is a lesson for another time. Right now just try this out, you may be suprised by your level of success.

Meditation tip #5 energy shuffle
Energy shuffle or energy transference within ones own body is a common exercise for anyone wishing to use his energy in a productive manner. The idea behind the exercise is this. At any one point your body will have a moderate amount of spiritual energy, allowing you to function normally within mundane society. You are able to increase these levels by drawing in energy whit emotions and meditation exercises. Of course the levels to which you can do this, how fast you do it and how you do it differs from individual to individual. So you now know that you not only have energy in you already but you can also increase such levels, the question one would ask is why would you increase them?
Well in life and death situations you increase your body’s physical capabilities whit adrenaline. In the spiritual you can temporarily draw energy from the surrounding spiritual realm in order to increase your own abilities. Unlike whit the body’s natural response to release adrenaline this is something that isn’t completely tied to ones survival. You do it all the time without realizing it or training for it. So drawing energy is a simple thing for pretty much anyone (I will explain it in a future tip).
However energy used purely whit emotion will be like a poorly crafted sword and will easily shatter its form as your thought process changes. So it is important to learn how to wield energy.
This is the exercise I personally do when trying to gain some measure of control over my energy. After I am done focusing my energy whit the coin or similar and am deep enough in meditation that I reach a high, I imagine gathering my energy at a point first. This cannot be my forehead as the region of the third eye is all too sensitive to my thought pattern and any energy sent there will make me lose my focus. Instead I send it to my chest area. Others might do well to send it to their stomach, abs or similar. Basically keep it focused somewhere around your body, avoiding the lower potions, legs, arms, head and heart. Now that you gathered your energy in one place or form a belief in your mind that any energy you generate will be gathered there, you are now able to begin sending it to other portions of your body. I go for my right hand usually and I keep repeating a small thought in my mind “From my chest to my arm”. I continue doing this and sooner or latter an image forms in my mind of my energy leaving my chest area and traveling towards my arm. My arm will first tense and any movement will be a burden, than it will start to burn if I go really deep.
You can try this and send it to other parts of your body as well. The point of the exercise is not to shift but it is to become familiar whit energy and your own ability to manipulate it.
