Whether it is a positive beginning or not depends on the energy you are putting out. The law of attraction states that what you give out, you receive. If you want good to come to you, put out good and positive thoughts. Eagle will help by bringing the opportunities to you. This new beginning could be a spiritual awakening. Eagle is a demanding totem, but one that offers so much reward at the end of the journey. Its four-toed feet remind you to stay grounded even when soaring high; its talons remind you to grasp the things of the earth; its sharp beak shows you when to speak, how much, and how strongly. This totem will show you opportunities and how to ride the winds to your benefit. Eagle people can live in the realm of the spirit yet still remain connected and balanced within the realm of the Earth. You must become much more than you ever dreamed possible. Earthworm Animal Totem: Examining the Past When Earthworm appears, it is time to work over all we have been experiencing, a time to examine and digest what has occurred in our life. Then we can cast off what is not beneficial or necessary - clean house emotionally. This allows new growth. Earthworm also reminds us that no matter how small our efforts seem, we are reshaping the earth around us. Earthworm also cautions about putting ourselves into a vulnerable position. We need to be careful when before throwing ourselves wholeheartedly into something new. Do not react hastily. Work over the old before starting anything new. Earthworm reminds us that no matter how difficult things might have been, new growth and new hope awaits us. Eel Animal Totem: Great Transformation Eel brings an awakening of the Kundalini energy, the serpent creative life force, the force of life that allows great transformations. An Eel totem heralds a great spiritual transformation. This transformation might bring a physical journey or it might be just a spiritual one. However, it will be a very profound change. Moray Eel totem people are observant; watching from the side lines. They stand quietly on the edges and wait for opportunities which they immediately take advantage of. Moray people often have unusual partnerships, an on-again-off-again relationship which benefits both partners. Elephant Animal Totem: Ancient Power, Strength, Royalty Elephant is a wise totem which embodies strength and power. An Elephant will give you insight into the power of the three feminine energies: maiden, mother and old wise woman (or crone). Through the use of fragrances and incense, Elephant can guide you to new energies and power. Elephant also gives you a thirst for knowledge and understanding. Family is very important to Elephant, especially the very young and the very old. Elephants care for their elderly rather than push them aside and very protective of their young. They have a soft spot for the weak and helpless. Loyalty is another quality that Elephant teaches. How to remain loyal no matter what anyone says about your friend or family member. For Elephant, they always come first. Elk Animal Totem: Stamina, Strength, Nobility The appearance of an Elk signifies that you are entering a time of plenty. Everything you need you will get. An Elk totem teaches you how to pace yourself. You might not be the first to arrive, but youll get there without burning out. Dont try for quick and easy; long and steady is the key to reaching your goals. If you have an Elk totem, you will feel the need for companionship or group support. You do not have to do everything alone, help is out there waiting for you if you just ask for it. People with Elk totems have a need for high energy levels and this can be accomplished through their foods. A diet that is mostly vegetarian will give you strength without stress. Vitamins are a good supplement. Falcon Animal Totem: Mental Speed, Agility and Grace Falcon soars high and its gift to you is that ability - to soar high and see the big picture. If you stand too close to a situation, sometimes you can only see what is right in front of you - rather than the whole panorama. Falcon also teaches control of speed and movement. It shows how to recognize opportunities and act upon them at only the correct moment. Watching a Falcon will show you to fully commit and when to act to achieve success. People with Falcon totems like to be a position where they can see everything around them. Study Falcon to use your mental facilities more effectively and more patiently to attain what you most need and desire. Falcon people are often independent and need alone time to be happy. They have a sharp mind and are very agile. Ferret Animal Totem: Stealth and Agility Ferret can teach us how to squeeze through tight fixes to come out triumphant. They can show us how to uncover secrets through silent observation. A Ferret totem often reflect hidden things about to be revealed if we are silent and observing (meditation would be a good time to connect to your Ferret totem). Ferret can show us how to be aggressive if we need to be, but they also show us how to playful. Finding the balance between playfulness and ferocity is part of what Ferret teaches. Fly Animal Totem: Never Giving Up Fly can be a challenging guide, because many people simply do not want to accept its presence. But rather than reflecting poorly on you, fly actually shows that you have the gutsy strength to get what you need as you need it. If that means putting some people off, annoying people, or being selfish for a while, then do it. Despite flys challenging nature as an animal guide, it teaches the indispensable lesson of persistence. Fly never gives up. Flys presence suggests that your ego is doing really well for itself right now, and might be taking over your sense of humility. Despite seeming like a bad thing, fly suggests that at times, such self-importance is actually necessary. Those who fear or dislike fly, often have a problem finding beauty and worth in less common places. Fly as a shadow aspect also challenges us to review our own self-image. Do you think of yourself as annoying, disgusting, unimportant or worthless? Do you attach negative words to your own view of yourself? Fly tells you to stop this behavior and replace it with positive reminders of your beauty and inherent worth in order to find your way to health and nourishment.
