Many people believe we have animals who accompany us on our spiritual path.
Take some time and go to a place where you can be alone.
Give some thought to the part that animals have played in your life. Ask yourself what exceptional or meaningful experiences have you had with animals?
Make a list of animals that have excited your imagination in stories, movies, paintings, or photographs.
Look to see if one particular animal shows up more often than any other.
Sit quietly and ask your animal to make it's nature known to you.
Then for the next month or so, be alert to the presence of animals in your dreams, healing, or creative work.
Watch for new experiences, especially where the animal actually appears in your environment or is seen nearby.
Once you've determined which animal is your totem, take time to sit quietly and ask for confirmation. Then watch to see if it shows up in your daily life or appears in connection to your spiritual practices. If so you have your answer! * * * * * * * * * * * *
Tips:
It's a traditional belief that totems are related by blood or through clans.
Know that there is an animal spirit that suits your life purpose perfectly.
Expect with all your heart to find your animal guide and you will!
