Animal Spirit Wisdom

Summary:

What animal spirit wisdom was to our past ancestors? The animal held great spiritual power and symbolic meaning.  In Native American culture, mythology, and ancient civilizations, each animal is embodied with its own symbolic meaning and had its own unique spiritual power. A particular animal crossing your path had deep significance to your life and indeed a strong message to impart.  The presence of animal wisdom may appear to you in a dream, on the physical plane or intuitively.

I have experienced my animal spirit guide, and always been amused and loved the "Butterfly", it came to me in a dream, a long time ago, so then I knew it was my animal guide calling me. From there on, I have always seen butterflies everywhere, even when I was down and out, I would see them, outside, everywhere. An experience I had a while back, 2 yrs., ago, I was driving to a local car wash, I, stopped and noticed a butterfly in the back of my car, in the window!! Could this be some kind of call for me?? Was my life in the middle of a transition, transformation? It was a brown butterfly; I gently picked it up from inside of my car, still alive, and let it go into the wind. (Even though I wanted to keep it). But I let it go. So in learning of the symbolic meaning of my animal guide, it is a symbol of metamorphosis, and transformation. The symbol of new life, letting go of old cycles and finding your true inner expressions. The butterfly calls you to expand your awareness, spread your wings and call forth your inner joy. Let go of limitations, and free yourself to express your own beauty within. It is a time of spiritual transitions, symbolic of moving from phase of life to the next, reaching higher, reaching outward, leaving the safety of the cocoon and finding your own place among the flowers of life.  Allowing the wind carry you forward to your goals and dreams.  Was this a time of self-discovery or rebirth?  The butterfly shows you the beauty within, go forth with joy.

Affirmation:

I recognize my true beauty within,

I value and cherish all that I am,

I have the power to transform,

To experience true joy in my life.

* So u see, acquiring your animal guide is easy, know the symbolic meaning of that animal, and if u have any dreams of that animal reacting with you, that is your calling, your animal guide calling u. I have experienced this also through meditations too, through candles, as a focus prop. And seen the flames manifest into this beautiful butterfly, guiding me, helping me, encouraging me, to move on, move forward in my life, as u can do so too.
