                        From the anthropological perspective the
                        Nahual is a guardian spirit in the
                        form of an animal or a bird that watches over the
                        destiny of every human being. People can call their own
                        Nahual in a dream or a
                        Nahual could appear by itself in order
                        to help people in certain situations. In reality the
                        concept of Nahual does not have a
                        specific meaning; it rather describes a particular
                        mental, physical and emotional state of the power of
                        existence and also a region of the Universe. Everything
                        that exists is Nahual and
                        Nahual is in everything – in
                        the flowers, in the stars, in the water and in the
                        Self, in us. 
                        Nahual also describes a
                        particular energetic state of consciousness which
                        contains deep human will. In this energetic state we
                        find what we call our personal power. 
                         
                        Nahual is an altered state of
                        consciousness. Nahual is beyond formal
                        logic and human behavioral patterns. It does not have a
                        form and at the same time can take any shape. It is
                        pure essence, it is wisdom, but above all it is
                        freedom.  
                         
                         
                        
                         
                        Wise men and women of ancient Mexico developed the
                        Path of the Nahual as a way of life.
                        This is the path of personal honesty on which we learn
                        to become one with our inner and outer universe. 
                        
                        Nahual means to be with yourself,
                        within yourself and in the center of yourself –
                        the center, which connects with the cosmos.
