Connecting with your inner spirit

I wanted to share my experiences and tips on this practice. I'm sure that some of you may have your own methods and practices toward virtually the same idea. Any help or comments are greatly appreciated, and expect additions and editing of this topic.


I've gotten to a point in my life where I look for guidance, inner peace, and inspiration. I often take personal journeys, both when I need someone to share my thoughts with as well as when I need to learn a lesson. I turn to my own spirit for this guidance, and quite often I discover that it is much wiser than I am.

How to explain what the spirit is can be difficult. Is it simply your conscience and common sense manifesting? Are you actually talking to your own soul? Do you genuinely have a guardian spirit watching over you? Or is this something that quite frankly we cannot understand? I don't have the answer there, but I can describe this the best way I can.

Find a quiet place and sit somewhere you are comfortable. If you need ambient sounds or music, try to find something relaxing to listen to.

Now imagine your deer (or if you like another animal, imagine them instead) standing right by you, being there to encourage, inspire, or even comfort you. Imagine that you and your deer/animal are in a forest or the woods, and there is a path that seems to lead endlessly (you can choose another place you find more suitable or particularly enjoy, it's entirely up to you). Walk with them, and let the conversation start. It will be kind of like a dream, just relax and enjoy the experience.

Understand that they may not have all the right answers, but they can guide you in the right direction. If at any point you get frustrated or angry, just stop, catch your breath, and then come back to them. Your deer/animal will understand, it's human nature.

Unbeatable (Rihame poem)

Writing for Rihame for drawing Quad as a wolf. Enjoy Eye

--------------------------------------------------------------------

I feel the pulse deep within the ground
A battle will soon rage, I can feel it
Antlers clashing endlessly from within
I crave it, every moment, every experience
The point where my eyes lock with my enemy's
The tension I feel before the battle
Studying his body, eager to rip it to shreds
Waiting for one of us to make the first move
Him...or me?

I spring first, antlers drawn, heart racing
He doesn't expect it, he doesn't move fast enough
I catch him off guard, my prongs digging deep into him
Oh how I love the sound of his suffering!
He loses his strength, the fire within him extinguished
I step back, studying him once more, savoring every moment
Do I finish him now, or let him suffer some more?
I approach, pressing my hoof into his open wound
His cries are like sweet music to my ears
"Pathetic, weak, disgrace to all stags...", I say
"You should have been born a doe."

And as the words of victory were spoken
I see the spectators around us
Their eyes filled with confusion, terror, and hate
Let it rage within them, let their anger flow
I have yet to find any others who could match me
I let my opponent live, I leave his side at that point
His blood staining my hoof much like a trophy
Let them come, let anyone oppose me
May the spectators see that I cannot be defeated
May the challengers fall to the unbeatable Rihame!

Moving! And thanks!

I haven't been very active because I'm moving in with my boyfriend (officially next week), so I've been packing up my life 8V



See London? I live about an hour from there. Now find Edinburgh. That's where I'm going >8V

I'm in the middle of writing something to finish off Kiyoko's story so that I don't have to worry about continuing it. I think it's about time I stop her story now anyway! She's over a year old now I think and I want her ending to be a happy one (which it is because of Kusakagé). I'll still be playing her though! But I doubt I'll have internet for a little while when I do move.

Thank you everyone who was involved in her story! Especially Virgil and Esll. I think the most enjoyable times I had in the forest in her development were because of Virgil and "Poppies" :3 <333333
I had a lot of fun, but it'll be more fun now that I won't have to worry about writing ^^

A Spark of Inspiration (Anjali Shortstory)

Something for Anjali doing a Quad as a Wolf artwork. Hope this is okay Eye

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I've been uninspired lately.", the stag spoke. He was bent down, praying toward the Twin Gods' statues on their hill. "I know it is much to ask for, but could you show me how to express kindness better to my fellow deer? Anything at all would be wonderful."

Silence. Maybe the Twin Gods were busy. He stood, his body radiating with the temporary white pelt from being a devotee. Anjali hoped they heard his prayer, but disappointed from not receiving an answer, he began to walk away.

He walked around, not really finding anyone close by. There were a few fawns but they seemed happy, so he didn't bother them. He moved farther, soon finding himself alone once again. Sitting in a soft patch of flowers, he took the time to rest and reflect, only listening to the sounds around him and the few thoughts that came to his mind. The sun was slowly setting on the land, the Forest becoming darker with each second that passed.

He opened his eyes, surprised to see something before him. A strange orb of light was floating a few feet away. The stag stood and approached the light curiously. As he did, he felt his body envelop in golden light. "What is this?", he questioned aloud.

"Relax, Anjali. Let us take you on a journey.", a voice spoke. Before he could ask who the voice belonged to, he vanished from the Endless Forest, shooting off into the sky within a thin beam of light.

He felt his body rush through the air, passing the land quickly. He could barely keep his eyes open, he shut them as the wind seemed to bombard his face relentlessly. He didn't know what was going on, his heart was racing. "I don't want to die!!", he cried.

Then the wind stopped as he spoke the words. "Relax, Anjali.
