Have you ever noticed a butterfly following you as you walk? Do you dream of a specific animal? Are you drawn to photos or knick-knacks of specific species? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you are ready to meet your animal totem! What is an animal totem? Animal totems play huge roles in our lives. They aid in self-discovery and capture our imagination, giving us incredible avenues of self-expression and awareness. Additionally, they assist in understanding our past, and if we are attentive, our animal totems can reveal glimpses of our future. The Dictionary defines a totem as: A natural object, usually an animal that serves as a distinctive, often venerated emblem or symbol. A means of personal or spiritual identity. Animals have specific natures and personality traits that we should aspire to achieve. This makes animals some of the most powerful symbols in our spiritual growth. Animals afford us visions of how our lives could be if we lived more simply and lived with purity of thought and emotion. Therefore, incorporating animal totems into our lives helps us on our personal spiritual path. By focusing on the attributes of our totems, we internalize these traits and thus begin to externalize the very character we absorb from our totems. Often times, our animal totems will keep appearing to us over and over again to grab out attention and to let us know they are willing to help, guide and teach us. We can learn much from animals who work on a very unique energy frequency. Once you learn of your totem, you can work with it to fulfill goals and make changes for the better. Animal Totems, like spirit guides, come and go, as we need what they have to offer. Once our lesson is learned, we may no longer need the energy of that totem so a new one may come along as needed. Some of you reading this will know exactly what your animal totem is. Some of you may have no idea. We all have an animal associated with our zodiac sign. For example, Taurus has the Bull as his or her totem. Each of these animal symbols is a tool that our specific zodiac sign can help us achieve greater things in our lives.
