Scott Alexander King Feature Interview Author of Animal Dreaming & Animal Messenger Animals hold the keys to unlocking our pathways to success, healing and growth. Each of us has an animal messenger which represents our strengths and weaknesses, our power, connection to Spirit and our soul essence. If we heed the medicine ways of the animals we will forget how to make mistakes. And we will never know poverty or dis-ease again. November 1-4, 2007   >

Although heavily imbued with traditional Shamanic wisdom, I call my path ANIMAL DREAMING: a fresh, new approach to Shamanic lore that is easily understood and integrated into today's modern lifestyle. Although contemplating the world from the two traditional and distinct shamanic perspectives: the tangible and the non-tangible, Animal Dreaming acknowledges, but rarely feels the need to implement any customary Shamanic ceremony or ritual (as such) into its implementation. Following a more 'animist' approach, its message is simple: Look to the animals for guidance, interpret their medicine or Dreaming messages, and incorporate the acumen obtained into your life and give thanks. The animals never make mistakes and if we can heed their example, we will never make mistakes again, either.

People confuse the concept of Animal Dreaming with the new wave of interest directed toward Animal Communication, or the intuitive ability to talk to the animals. Although I appreciate and respect the concept, I am not a 'horse whisperer'. I do not talk to people's pets. I can talk to animals. We all can. But I choose not to. Instead, I observe their tangible wisdom, demonstrated by how they relate to their kind, other species and their environment, and then integrate what they have 'to say' into my life. We are all animals - mammals in fact, and the understanding that we can communicate with the animals comes from the fact that we are all one. We all, ultimately, share the same thoughts. What I do looks at the wisdom of the animals from a medicine point of view. The animals understand their sacred purpose and they honour it, not to enhance their place in the world, but rather to demonstrate how we can enhance ours. The animals are tangible. They are real. Their wisdom is ancient and all embracing. When we begin to look to the animals for guidance, we begin to remember Spirit. Incorporating the wisdom of the animals into our life is as easy and as natural as breathing.

It is as simple as realising that if the Earth is our Mother, then perhaps we are her children, and just as any mother would want to see her children thrive, our Earth Mother's love for us is no different. She supports us, cradles us and whispers her support to us every hour of every day. She speaks metaphorically. She uses symbols, and her symbols are the animals. My book, Animal Dreaming, was written as a spiritual field guide, an interpretation manual for the children of the Earth Mother, so that they may remember her secret language and once again look to the animals as equals, wise ones and healers. My workshops and seminars are offered as support to my book - to help people understand and assimilate the medicine ways of the animals into our lives on a day to day basis so that we may heal and walk into the future united as a people. My readings, however, tap into the non-tangible realms, by offering people the chance to recognise their innate animal aspect - their totems, power animals and animal spirit guides. I have been able to see, understand and interpret their messages for years, and it is with great joy that I present this ability to you.
