Hello, welcome to Psychic Teachers. I'm your host Samantha Fei.

And I'm Deb Bywin. And we're so happy to have you here with us tonight

or in the morning, depending on when and where you're listening to us.

We hope you had a great weekend. We are starting a seven week

series of exploring the shocker. Because Deb and I are always saying how

we believe the shockers are the gateways to everything when it comes to intuitive work.

So we thought it would be nice to rather than just kind of give a quick overview

like we've done in the past. It's to devote one hour throughout the next seven weeks

to each of the shockers. So this week we're going to be discussing the root shocker.

But as you all know, we normally do a crystal of the week and animal of the week

and a meditation of the week. I'm going to skip the crystal of the week

just because it's such an important part of the root shocker discussion.

So I will be discussing crystals just within our discussion of the root shocker.

Deb, if you want to start with your animal of the week and then I'll do the meditation.

Absolutely. You know, when I was thinking about an animal corresponding to the root shocker,

of course the first thing that comes to mind is snake because of Kundalini energy.

And yes indeed snake is representative of that Kundalini energy,

but there's so much more to the root shocker.

And then I thought about the meaning of the root shocker being connected to needing to feel home

and needing to feel safe. And so I thought about actually some antithod about squirrel and turtle.

And then I started doing some research and I realized that the animal that is most strongly

and firmly connected to root shocker energy is the elephant.
