Spirit Totem

A spirit guide is one that helps you your whole life and helps teach you lessons that you learn from your trials in life. Sometimes these guides represent your different aspects. May be someone who was in your past but has died. They may be another spirit that a Higher Being has sent to watch over you in times of need. They may stay with you throughout your whole life. There may be just one or you may have several. Usually a person may have about 4, one for each aspect of self: mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional. Some may have more. They want you to find out who they are. Sometimes we call them guardian angels.

Totem animals stay with you your whole life as a guide. Actually they show you what you must learn to move on. They help you deal with situations and show you the outcomes and how you got to it. People can have many totem animals. Some say you are born with 9 who symbolize the medicine carried on this earthly walk you take. There are 7 totems for each direction when born: east, south, north, west, above, below, and within. This is within ones own self. The other 2 totems are on each side of you. They come to you in dreams or may be animals you are drawn to for a reason. The left one guards and guides the feminine side of energy. The right guards and guides the masculine side of your characteristics. Some people are born with the feminine on the right and the masculine on the left. These people have a very special spiritual work ahead of them and have a special kind of energy balance. These 2 animals we do not choose. They are chosen for us.

Many people believe there is 1 main hidden totem that we are born with that is with us from birth until death. They come to us and introduce themselves.

A spirit guide is just as it says, a guide for your spirit. A Totem animal influences you and how you handle life as the spirit guide gives you. A spirit guide will give you advice and help you make decisions but a Totem animal tries to test you then helps you with the results. At times they work together to help you and at times they are fighting each other.

There are many totem animals and you should realize yours. Try meditating and ask to see them. Make sure you give an offering and say thank you after they visit you. Keep track of these animals. Ask yourself questions to see which animals you are drawn to. When do they come to you and when do you see them? Can you see the similarities between you and the animals? There are many questions to ask yourself so take your time and relax, meditate on this. Don’t worry if it takes a while for them to show. They show themselves when they feel they are needed.
