I think Jacob (ItsaMystery) would have a few really nice stories about healing extraordinaries from the very early days of Elfpath, when there wasn't officially an Elfpath yet and we were feeling our way through this maze and trying to build a structure.
I remember the first time we started really playing around with totem animals, we would put ourselves in alpha and meet somewhere in the middle. We could see each other's animal totems, and when we played with this a little, found we could easily interact with them, and they would interact with each other. His owl was a bit wary of me at first and wouldn't let me pet it, and my bear seemed pretty amused by the whole proceeding. Sometimes other animals would wander up. They were either other people's animal totems or just stopped by to deliver a message and tell us something we needed to pay attention to.
Playing with things like this are fun. They're especially fun when you're doing it together with someone else, so you actually have someone who's seeing the same things are you and can reassure you that you're not imagining things. You can get much more clarity when teaming up.
