ZEBRA

From Animal Spirit Guides by Dr. Steven D. Farmer..

If ZEBRA shows up it means:

*You're looking at things with black & white, all or nothing, which limits your choices and flexibility.

*Regarding the conflict you're having with someone, it's better to work toward a compromise than staying stuck in a right vs wrong standoff.

*Be willing to question what you have up to this point considered to be your reality and any illusions you have subscribed to, and in so doing, you will expand your consciousness.

*In any situation where there's disagreement, rather than being confrontational, try less direct methods such as persuasion, agreeing to disagree, or taking time out to gain a fresh perspective.

*You're about to discover some useful knowledge that has been hidden or obscured, knowledge that will come to you without seeking, so simply be open to receiving it.

Call on ZEBRA when:

*You're experiencing some conflict between expressing your individuality and being a member of a family, group, or community.

*You have to deal with a group process of any sort, such as a community project, and want to encourage harmonious interactions between the group's members.

*You've tried various solutions, but so far nothing has worked, so you need a fresh and creative way of looking at the problem.

*You're feeling uncertain that the path you're on is purposeful and want to find out if it is.

If ZEBRA is your POWER ANIMAL:

*You're confident, balanced, sure footed, and very capable of facing opposing forces and remaining stable and poised.

*You have considerable compassion and would make a very effective therapist.

*You enjoy a good challenge, as you clearly see it as an opportunity for growth.

*You're very agile and quick, both in action and your thinking.

*You love working with groups and are able to do so and maintain your integrity and autonomy.

*You love to explore the mysteries and magic of the unseen world and are willing to experiment with varying ways of accessing that world.
