In this post, you’ll discover what power animals are and how they can help you unlock your inner strength. I’ll show you different ways to find your personal power animal and how its energy is reflected in my art.

There are moments in life when we feel stuck—perhaps exhausted, lost, or yearning for greater depth in our daily lives. This is where power animals can form a beautiful bridge: to yourself, to your inner strength, and to the world around you.

Today, I invite you on a small adventure to learn more about these spiritual companions and understand how they can help you reconnect, find lightness, and foster your inner growth.

Power animals are spiritual guides that stand by your side and support you in life. Across many cultures—ranging from Indigenous traditions to modern spiritual practices—animals serve as symbols of strength, protection, and wisdom.

A power animal is not a pet, nor is it tied to your zodiac sign. It reflects your inner world and embodies traits that can empower you, such as courage, calmness, or creativity. It might remind you of strengths lying dormant within you or show you a way to overcome challenges and navigate obstacles.

The journey to discovering your power animal is personal and intuitive. There’s no “right” or “wrong” way. There is only your way. Here are some approaches that can help:

Meditation or Guided Journey: In moments of stillness, answers often emerge that remain hidden in daily life. During a meditation or guided journey, you embark on an inner quest to meet your power animal. It might appear in various forms: walking ahead of you, looking directly at you, or simply emerging as a feeling or symbol. Trust your intuition—your first impulse is often the right one.

In my guided meditation, “Meet your Power Animal,” I invite you to connect with your power animal.
Note: This meditation is only available in German language.

Observation in Daily Life: Your power animal may not only reveal itself inwardly but also in the outer world. Perhaps you repeatedly encounter a specific animal in nature, images, books, or conversations. These recurring appearances could signify a special connection with that animal.

Intuition: Listen to your gut. Is there an animal that has always fascinated you or that comes to mind when you think of strength and support? Your inner voice often holds the answer before you consciously realize it.

Art and Creativity: The creative process helps you access your subconscious. Draw, paint, or write freely without worrying about the outcome. Sometimes, an animal will emerge that has been present deep within you but hasn’t surfaced until now.

No matter the path you choose, your power animal wants to be found and will reveal itself when you’re ready to meet it. Trust that it is exactly the animal you need right now, even if it surprises you. It’s your guide and helper, here to strengthen and inspire you.

Your power animal is like an anchor, reminding you of who you are and what makes you unique. It can help you:

Find Inner Strength: Your power animal reminds you that you are capable of overcoming challenges and navigating obstacles.

Create Balance: It shows you how to align with your needs and the world around you.

Foster Healing: It can provide comfort and help heal wounds in your heart and soul.

For example, the owl represents clarity and wisdom, the eagle embodies focus and adventure, and the yak symbolizes endurance and determination. Every power animal carries a message and offers valuable support through its unique qualities.

In my art, I aim to create a space where you can connect with yourself, find your inner strength, and feel a sense of unity with the world around you. Power animals hold a special place in my work, as these companions carry profound symbolism that touches our emotions directly.

Perhaps you already know your power animal, or maybe you feel a deep resonance with a particular animal or one of my artworks. My creations bring the messages of these animals to life, making their energy visible and tangible. My hope is that they remind you of the unique strength already within you.

A piece of art featuring your power animal can provide daily inspiration and grounding. It can serve as a symbolic anchor in your home and represent what you need most right now: greater calm, inner balance, or the courage to forge new paths.

If one of my works speaks to you, perhaps it has already found its way to you. Let it become a companion that inspires and strengthens you—every single day.

In my art, you’ll find the connection you’re seeking: to yourself and to your power animal.
