Seeing Your Spiritual Animal
Spiritual animals are the long-held belief that we are represented by the energy and spirit of an animal. This representation helps guide us through life, as we find constant similarities between the traits of that animal, and the way we choose to live, think and feel. We are all consigned to a spirit animal, and it is through exploration that we find out what that animal is.
Exploration can be anything from meditating regularly and searching our subconscious for the animal in question, or being on the lookout when we are in nature for the type of animal we are drawn to, the animal we frequently come into contact with, and the animal that is as curious about us as we are of them.
Angels know which spirit animal we are guided by, but for us, we are led by coincidence until we discover it for ourselves. You may feel particularly drawn to the ocean, and have a whale deep in your heart of interest and love. You could just as likely feel a close bond with the forest, and often come across a robin there, or a butterfly. What animal first comes to the forefront of your mind when you think about a spirit representation of you?
Coincidental meetings with animals pull us away from the real world for a moment. As we scurry through it from one stressful situation to another, we sometimes, and rather plainly, need to turn our backs from it for long enough to appreciate the earth we live in. It is more than just buildings and roads, in fact, the only reason it has buildings and roads is due to man. When man rests, nature develops. Just like when you rest, nature reveals itself to you in very magical, mystical ways.
Spirit animals offer us energy that we didn't know we had. They also teach us lessons, and draw us to them so that they can guide us. Spirit animals are often perceived as earth angels, those who our heavenly guides attach to, to help support us on our life's path. As we embody the characteristic of an animal, we can begin to fully understand the concept of living harmoniously, both with nature, other people, and most importantly, our own souls.
When we feel disrupted or stressed, it is natural to pull away from our spirituality. We never truly leave it, but we do find ways to focus on more unhealthy ways to get through the stress. We neglect our values, and they are left to be picked up when the madness dies down. Spiritual animals are nature's way of reminding us that our angels aren't giving up on us, when you are next running errands, or taking a breath of fresh air outside, it's imperative that you look around you for those angelic coincidences that may be before you.
Your angels would be really excited for you to discover what your spirit animal is, so may provide other types of coincidences that help nudge you towards your answer. You might start to dream regularly about flying or swimming, or you may find yourself thinking about certain past connections to animals. You could even tumble across as quiz online for which spiritual animal you are, and in your truthful answer, it will appear.
You cannot simply pick your spirit animal; they will choose you. There are many ways they connect with you, so the idea of coincidence is actually very meaningful, especially when you start to see a lot of one type of animal, or you open your meditative mind to their invitation to come through to you within the mind.
Spirit animals, the same as angels, are sacred. Once assigned to you, they will remain alongside you forever. Their spirit is invited to protect, guide, and help you in life, through both good and bad. our inner personality will match that of your spirit animal, and your angels from an early stage are keen to offer you coincidental ways in which you discover what animal that is, and how its traits and character can help shape your life, wishes, and goals. You can always turn to your angels for advice and, once known, your spirit animal for further intuitive balance.
