I got interested in them lately.
YET, when I try to contact my 'animal spirit guide'. It never works out. I get the idea I'm making things up with my mind, Or the spinning drives my crazy during the meditating. And there is always something that gets me out of the concentration. My nose that itches, or my arm, or my pillow isn't comfortable. In other words, I suck at it.
How did you met your animal spirit guide or Totem?
What did you do, did you used any thing? Gems, incense, anything?

I unfortunately do not remember where I got this from, but this is the spell that allowed me to meet my first totem. It is a simple rhyme, written in a dream journal before going to bed:
Guardian of the Dream world
I call you to my side
Reveal my Spirit animal, protector & guide
Show me the power, beauty & grace
in the radiant eyes of my Guardian's face
You should dream of your totem within three nights

If otherworld traditions aren't a part of what you do - if you don't journey or walk the hedge or an equivalent - I'm not sure how you would meet them. You could set up an altar and ask them to make themselves known to you. Otherwise it's pretty much the same with any familiar spirit: you have to work at the meditation and the journeying until you're at a point where you can travel to meet them.

I tried that part of meditation. That whole where you go into a forest journey - meditation.
Thing is, After a while it feels like I am spinning, and I go faster and faster, and deeper and deeper. Makes me lose track of time, and sometimes it freaks me out, like images and such. And my hands starts tingling, it's weird.
Or I'm just really bad at meditating. I usually lay down on my bed, that's the most comfortable.

Ah I see. If it's something you have trouble with, if it scares you or whatever, there's no particular reason for you to do it. Work on your meditation until you're comfortable and feel secure. You may want to try grounding before meditation until you feel more secure, and then you can venture elsewhere.

Thorns and Spices Ah I see. If it's something you have trouble with, if it scares you or whatever, there's no particular reason for you to do it. Work on your meditation until you're comfortable and feel secure. You may want to try grounding before meditation until you feel more secure, and then you can venture elsewhere. In addition to grounding before going into your meditation or trance, you can also try using a wand or staff or amulet (just something tangibly real) to hold while Journeying to help keep you grounded in this plane while you travel (might be why there is apprehension or fear in traveling). Let me know how this goes. ^^

Just a quick update.
After having a look through my dream diary, I noticed that I dream about cats, if there is an animal in my dream. Doesn't say much, but it gives me some hope. lol

I closed my eyes and was in the city park, only with no buildings or people. Only nature. A mother brown bear charged out of the woods and enveloped me in her warm, loving embrace as if I were her own cub. She told me never to forget love in everything I do. I must always carry it with me. There were other animals there. A wolf to reflect determination to endure the journeys in life, an elk to show me survival and cunning and power, and a moose to show me simplicity and unity are key. They showed me the woods.

I don't really believe in finding one's spirit animal, only in them finding you. In my experience, people who go looking for them are never successful, even if they think they are. My advice; keep an open mind and soul and your spirit animal may come to you. Maybe not. Either way, I don't think it can be controlled.
