The Penguin Empowerment was channeled and written by Brenda “Silverwolf” Hanlon in August 2007, and it sits in the power animal tradition rather than the symbol-based one. Its introduction sets out the premise, that animals bring messages from the spiritual plane and can guide us there, and that opening to the energy of a different kind of being widens consciousness. The penguin study itself is detailed and specific.
The manual notes that penguins see better in water than on land, that their binocular vision is poor and some have none at all, that they use a sideways stare to focus on anything threatening. It describes both males and females bowing to one another before entering or leaving the nest as appeasement and as a way of keeping social bonds, and reads that as a teaching about respect and good manners.
It notes the Emperor penguin's formal black and white as a marker of poise and self-confidence, records tobogganing speeds of up to twenty-five miles an hour, and connects the penguin's ease in two elements to astral projection and conscious out-of-body work.
Black stands for the hidden and white for awakened consciousness, and the penguin is said to teach the blending of the two.
What this attunement is intended to support:
- Building a working relationship with the penguin as a power animal and guide.
- Refining order, purpose and determination, which the manual reads in how penguins move.
- Learning respect and good manners, drawn from the bowing behaviour described.
- Developing poise and confidence in social situations of any kind.
- Exploring astral projection, out-of-body experience and vivid dreaming.
- Balancing the hidden and the known, which the manual reads in the penguin's black and white.

How it is used:
Find somewhere comfortable to sit, with your back against a tree if you can, and relax the body from the feet upward before breathing gently and rhythmically without forcing anything. Let the worries of the day drain down into the earth. Then picture yourself in a wide grassy space before a huge old oak, its roots reaching deep and its branches filling the sky, and step through the small opening at its base into a wood-lined tunnel.
Follow the tunnel down, hear the drumming that turns out to be the heartbeat of the tree and the earth, pass the torches set into the walls, and come out into a great cavern with a crystalline river running through it. The full meditation continues from there in the manual.
