Review

"Soon to be a classic, this book is the ultimate guide to spirit animals. Richly researched, the meaning and symbolism of animals pop off the pages. Shamanic perspectives from Mongolia to Machu Picchu are woven into this dynamic tapestry of wisdom by a powerful female shaman."

--Betsy Chasse, author of Tipping Sacred Cows, co-writer/co-director/producer of What the Bleep Do We Know!?, and producer of Song of the New Earth

"Lori Morrison has a profound connection to the spirit world that is evidenced in the contents of this book. She sees between the worlds and knows how to speak to the spirits of the animal nation. She then takes this gift and titrates it into usable form for the reader to glean insightful messages from the spirit world. Her book gives an analysis of the physical natures of numerous animals and interprets the meaning of the animal for persons who might encounter them in their spiritual journey. The encyclopedic nature of the work allows for easy reference to scientific fact and metaphysical attributes. As a reference guide it is a valuable assistance to the reader to discover deeper awareness of the messages that animals embody.

About the Author

Lori Morrison is a best-selling author, inspirationalist, and mystic. She became part of a rare community of lightning shamans due to a spontaneous awakening of shamanic knowledge by natural force. Her first teachers were Mayan ancestral spirits who took her through a two-year initiation. During this period, she was introduced to four Jaguars who became her guides. Later, through an important ceremony, a Haitian shaman retrieved a powerful Lioness for Lori that she collaborates with to this day. These sacred relationships with Power Animals have enriched her life and spiritual journey. Lori is now honored to deliver messages from the spirits of over 200 different creatures to you. Lori makes her home in Sedona, Arizona, where she has a successful practice dedicated to healing through vibrational medicine.

Combining her skills as a coach, spiritual counselor, healer, and psychic intuitive, Lori Morrison has built a successful practice in Sedona, Arizona, working with clients from all over the world. She has had particular success in supporting those who have experienced trauma, grief, and debilitating life events, and has dedicated herself to the use of alternative methods and ancient wisdom to reduce her clients’ reliance on antipsychotic medication.

As a counselor, she is guided by the goal of changing the framework around mental illness from one of despair to the recognition of the emergence of a creative gift that can lead to dramatic improvements in recovery. Lori is a member of the board of directors of the Mental Health Coalition of Verde Valley, Arizona, where she advocates the acceptance of complementary programs for mental illness.

Lori has traveled the world while studying the application of sacred sciences and shamanic and alternative healing methods with many of the world’s most recognized spiritual teachers. Her work incorporates a spectrum of new ideas and innovative approaches to balance body and mind.

Prior to the spiritual awakening that led Lori to her work in the spirit world and in mental health, she was a New York banker, a successful wine and gourmet food purveyor in Napa Valley, California, and Central America, and a philanthropist. She is especially proud of her contribution to social and environmental causes around Lake Ilopango through a foundation she established with her late husband, Tino, in El Salvador.
