I read this post when you first put it on here, and it has been in the back of my mind since because I would like to know the same thing. Well the other day I was sitting on my couch reading one of the folders my Nan had given me from the 'Enhancing your mind, body and spirit' series and I came across this;

Animal spirit guide meditation

To contact your animal spirit guide, follow this meditation. It may take a few attemps to make contact, but each time you try you will be getting closer to nature.

Natural surroundings

If at all possible, get out into the open countryside or a quiet corner of a large park. Though your guide can find you anywhere, they will feel more comfortable and you'll be more accessible when you are open to the sky and nature.

Take comfort

Wear comfortable clothing. The surface you rest on is up to you, but be prepared to sit for as long as you need. Avoid using destracting incense or music.

Sensory experience

Look around with your eyes, listen with your ears, smell with your nose, and feel with your skin until you are in touch with the rhythms of this part of the world. Think of these rhythms playing out year after year, century after century.

Open your minds eye

Close your eyes. You'll continue to hear and smell, but your mind will supply your vision without the distractions of the outside world.

Making contact

Unless your an experianced meditator, your mind will wander, and various creatures will appear. The first one you see is not necessarily yours. Talk to each one that comes along and try to feel what it's messege might be.

Communication

Your true guide has something more important to say to you than just flattery or condemnation. He or she dosn't want to take over -They have a life of their own- but can show you ways that you can take charge.

Learning experience

Don't be discorouaged if at first you don't feel that you've contacted your true spirit guide. Consider what you learned from the experience. Would you be more comfortable in different surroundings? At a different time of day? Try again another day and you might be suprised by your success.

A lifetime's bond

Once you've found your spirit guide, you'll see them time and time again. They may be in your dreams, or in the glance of a stranger. But forevermore, they will be your personal guide.

Now I heven't tried this. Yet. So if you do try this, let me know how it goes, i'd love to know! I hope this helped.

You can meditate, and visuallize a river, a plain..etc Then breath in and out, and imagine an animal slowly coming to you.Works best if you use some video guides though. Light candles, use stones for meditation, and make sure to pray for protection as well.Leopard skin jasper is good to find your power animal as well.One of the only crystals for totem animals.

You can also try inviting your power animal to a dream, by meditation or simply by having that intention.Constantly tell yourself that you will meet you power animal in your dream, and pray too.

Try looking through this list of crystals by use to find crystals you can use (I would look at lucid dreaming, meditation,grounding..etc) :

You can also look out for signs. Don't simply think that your power animal is the animal that you love, and don't be disapointed when you figure it's something boring like an ant or a duck.

I believe mine is an owl, because I have had a few dreams of them, and while volunteering at a wildlife rehabilitation center, there was one little owl that seemed interested in me, and would watch me cleaning cages.
