It was her power animal. Later, when I drew the complex images of her meditation, I sensed that she might not like elements of it. She told me that she had been severely depressed when she started the meditation, and after seeing her power animal was in an ecstatic euphoric state for 24 hours. Upon seeing her portrait, she didn t know what to make of it and asked me to interpret the symbolism for her. For me, what this symbolized was that her life was much greater than what she now manifested.
Portraits often reflect the inner working of the soul.
In one meditative session, my client started to sob spontaneously. He told me that he saw himself flying around the earth, and felt the pain of his people. He saw the native peoples of the world and saw the destruction of their culture and lands. He felt their pain deeply. Later the imagery changed.
