LAST MONTH I INVITED YOU to visit www.PowerAnimalsUnleashed.com to experience a new force that has been given us, an awesome life-transforming energy, a power that is at once grounded and practical for use in our everyday lives, yet so highly energetically charged that it can lift us out of those everyday concerns and up into the realm of spirit.

This month I invite you to slip through the veil of time and envision your life as transformed by the energy of one of the power animals unleashed, the majestic gorilla.

Here, come in here, where the light flickers through a canopy of leaves. Smell the deep green life unfolding around you as you walk across the damp ground on bare feet, brushing against broad dewy leaves. Feel your muscles moving easily, your mind sharpening with awareness and connection with all that moves, with all that is. Feel your heart fill with love as you reach the clearing and are greeted by those you love and lead.

Now just sit quietly and listen to the story of your life, your life as a gorilla. Learn about the great gifts this gorilla power brings you, every moment of every day.

Ease in Problem Solving
Life is suddenly easier. When the challenges of the day present themselves, you just breathe in gorilla energy, relax and go about your life, knowing that the solution will come to you, just as it is needed. Your gorilla mind is sharp and keen, a tool you use with ease. You are filled with relaxed confidence, for you know that you can handle anything and everything that comes your way.

Your mind and body are agile and responsive. You feel free to accept responsibility for solving issues that are of vital importance to yourself and others, even those that involve learning things you cannot yet do. You are up to the task, whatever it is, for you are the gorilla.

Confidence in Social Interaction
You know your strength, you feel it deep inside always, and you do not hesitate to show it. When you need to, you thump your chest and roar out your presence. Old feelings of timidity, shyness, vulnerability and doubt dissolve. Gorilla power shows you how to act confident no matter what, how to put on a show of confidence until your actual confidence has a chance to show up.

You call in great gorilla chest-thumping energy to give that sales presentation, handle that job interview, sell that project, get that financing, or close that deal. You are the confident, convincing person you always hoped to be. This gorilla display of confidence makes you highly successful, lifting you into an ever-increasing cycle of strength, confidence and success made manifest.

Gorilla presence commands respect from others. You walk into that meeting or discussion already knowing that you are deeply deserving of respect. You just take a deep breath of gorilla energy and the presence is there; there is nothing further that you need to do. After all, you are the gorilla.

Leadership through Presence and Mediation
You are a natural leader, at ease in a position of power, able to step forward and inspire others to follow. You also enjoy the unique and powerful talent of mediation, an ability to settle disputes among others.

When there is a disagreement, in your family or among friends or coworkers, you know exactly what to do, even when emotions run high. Rather than walking away or intervening with harsh authority, you breathe in the mediating power of the gorilla. This energy allows you to be full of strength, yet know when to hold it back, so that others can find their own way within the protective circle of your power.

Your gorilla mind shines with the intelligence to propose highly creative solutions. But you also have great heart and compassion, a deep understanding of the individual fears and desires of each person, which allows you to find and propose the place where others can meet in agreement. You have a natural and deep connection as you work with others, comforting this person, settling down the fears of that one, praising this one for her gifts, gently scolding that one for her complaints or intolerance.

You use this special talent easily and naturally, every day. And as a result, the relationships in your family and work lives settle down comfortably around you. You are a tower of quiet strength and calm, the one everyone turns to, to feel protected and yet also understood. You are the safety of your family, the shelter in which everyone feels deeply understood and cared for. You are the gorilla.

Stepping Up
As a gorilla leader, you never allow others to slide into laziness or mediocrity. You call upon the best within each person, rising to the challenges yourself and asking those around you to do the same, with a confident manner that allows them to easily accept your direction and guidance. This gorilla leadership quality raises the entire level of your group, your family, your business, your team.

Gorilla leadership is leadership from within the community, like a heart that beats within the heart of the group. With the gorilla in you energizing others, you accomplish far more than you could alone. You inspire others to become gorillas as well, to solve their problems, to mediate conflicts, to rise with courage and heart to face the challenges of the day.

You feel free to step up to great challenges, knowing that others will follow and will bring you their very best. You rise to the occasion; you take it all on; you do the seemingly impossible. It is all within your range, for you are the gorilla.

Balance
Your life is balanced between time spent alone and time in community. You actively seek out time alone, to sit on a rock and simply be one with the greatness of life, refreshing and revitalizing your spirit.

You also treasure your time with others, both in leadership positions and deep within the loving arms of family and community. You enjoy the love and respect of others as you share the success of a job well done and glow with confidence that tomorrow will bring another day in which you rise easily to whatever comes your way. And this you do, for you are the gorilla.

Present Moment Awareness
You live completely within the present moment. You never worry, for you are fully confident that you can handle whatever comes your way, even as it occurs. You do not dissipate your energy by concerning yourself with what was or what might yet be. You are fully prepared to meet whatever comes down the path, with courage and heart, with your brain as well as your physical strength, for you are the gorilla.

How to Join with Gorilla Energy
I would like to share with you now a special invocation to bring you into oneness with this awesome gorilla energy. Use this invocation each morning while opening yourself to the flow of gorilla energy that will surely come.

I breathe in deeply and open myself to golden cleansing energy
I ask that it may flow through me, from head to toe,
Clearing me and preparing me for the vibrant energy of the gorilla

My mind is quiet and clear
I am open now to new ways of thinking

My heart opens wide and grows soft and warm
I am open now to new ways of loving

My center grows calm and deep
Like an endless pool of still water
I am open now to new ways of being
I am ready

I stand in the light of love
And invite gorilla energy to come to me now
To fill me and empower me
To transform my life through the great gifts of the gorilla

I feel the gorilla energy as it fills me
I feel myself lifting to the next level of leadership
As I sit on my rock in the jungle
And look out upon my companions and loved ones
I feel strength pouring into me,
Pure physical strength, but mental strength as well
My mind sharpens and my muscles grow strong
I feel confidence and courage pouring into me
I know my power, the power of the gorilla

I am now one with gorilla energy
I will feel it and be it in every moment
For I am the gorilla

I know that I will always find solid, practical solutions
To meet the challenges of life
My mind shines with intelligence
For I am the gorilla

I am a natural leader, strong and decisive
With a deep connection with those I lead
I can mobilize others and accomplish anything I care to take on
For I am the gorilla

I give thanks for this gift, for this grace
And with each breath I take I now know
I am the gorilla

Now, you are one with the gorilla. Feel his courage beating within your heart. Feel the power and the strength that this glorious animal brings to your life. You have the power to marshal the strength of many to your cause. There is nothing you cannot accomplish.

You are the gorilla.
