TOTEM ANIMALS
A totem is any natural or mythical animal to whom you feel a close connection
during your life or some particular period of your life. The energy of the totem
animal has lessons, challenges and information for you during your life, or
certain times in your life.
Almost all cultures revere, respect and learn from
animals. Most sporting teams, countries, clubs, and other groups, use animals as
powerful symbols, borrowing from their energy in different ways, courage,
wisdom, strength, agility, mothering abilities for example. . In Chinese
astrology all the signs are animals and in western astrology most of the signs
are animals.
You may feel an affinity with a certain animal , you may
be greeted by a certain animal during meditation or dreams, or you may go on a
particular guided journey to meet your totem animal. You have more than one, and
different animals for different issues, challenges and experiences in our life.
Once you know - it is lovely to keep pictures, images, crystal carvings and
other symbols or representations of this totem animal with you as you work on
