Totem Animals their origins and how to find your totem animal

The Origin of Totem Animals

Totem animals originate as far back as life in the physical dimension on Mother Earth Gaia.

Human beings draw their origins from nature; we are a continuity of nature.

The Lakota use the term Mitakuye Oyasin which means we are all one, related, connected.

There was even a time when human beings, not separated from nature, lived in harmony with nature.

Thus Native Americans had deeply anchored in their way of life, respect and harmony with plants, trees, animals, etc...

The Totem Animal: Guardian and Spiritual Guide

You must have already noticed the perfection and harmony of nature; everything is in balance, it is the manifestation of the Great Spirit (God in other words) of his Spirit (energy) in the physical dimension.

That is why it is said that nature is sacred, in many shamanic, aboriginal, and indigenous spiritualities.

Thus totem animals, close to the Great Spirit and our true nature, help us in our earthly life experience to guide us on the path that leads us back to the source.

What are Totem Animals?

There are in truth many, as many as there are animals on Earth Gaia,

Then you can encounter animals that do not exist or no longer exist in the physical dimension, such as mystical animals: dragon, phoenix, etc....

So all this is not limited to a few animals as you can see on some sites, but to a really wide range of Totem Animals.

How many Totem Animals do we have?

I do not have a definitive answer to this question, based on my experience and the experience of others: we have several.

Arnaud Riou for example says that we have only one and that the others are medicine animals that accompany us.

Thus the answer is not obvious, I have met several and I feel them as being part of "my" being, but in a sense all this does not really matter because in truth we are one, so there is no need to put up separations :)

How to know your Totem Animal?

This is a question that many of you ask yourselves, here are some leads.

First, you can look at your affinities with certain animals.

But also some traits of your "character" may be similar to that of an animal species.

Moreover, if it is not already done, you must reconnect with nature; every step you take towards her, she takes two towards you; it is very important to make the link within you fluid, towards your totem animal.

How to find your Totem Animal?

The totem animal can present itself directly in the physical world but also in your dreams.

Be attentive and observant, do not think and above all let it come.

Spend time in nature and protect it.

Try to find your place in the cycle of nature and life.

You can get help from a person to guide you to it or try a special meditation.
