Animal totems and guides may present for long or short periods of time and are directly connected to what is presenting your life and/or what lessons are meant for you now. Tune into whether or not the relationship with your animal totem is meant for a number of days or years. Let this powerful animal relationship lead you forward in terms of new knowledge or awareness about your core traits.

Animal totems might be presenting to teach you through emotional aspects such as strength, patience, insecurity, fear, confidence or anger. In short, animal totems help us to learn about our ultimate truths in life. They may present in your meditative space and/or your dream space bringing much-needed lessons.

It is also common that animal totems are a spiritual tool for you. I.e., when you see this animal it is your spiritual reminder to Ground. The time frame in which a particular animal totem is in your life directly correlates with how well you recognize, learn and then incorporate the knowledge into your life.

Consider these questions. This will assist you in finding your animal totem.

• Is there an animal that captivated you as a child?
  
• Do you feel a deep connection to a particular animal?
  
• What animals do you see repeatedly?
  

Meditation Assignment:

1. Meditate and quiet your mind for 10 to 15 minutes using your tools of Grounding and Running Energy.
2. State your Prayer of Protection.
3. Then, state out loud to the Universe, “I would like to meet my animal totem.”
4. Let yourself be a stream of consciousness, naturally allowing information to float in.
5. Be an observer and just watch what animals or bits of the animal kingdom or even nature float in and out from a place of neutrality.
