How To Find Your Animal Totem

An Animal Totem is an important symbolic object used by a person to get in touch with specific qualities found within an animal which the person needs, connects with, or feels a deep affinity toward.

You can have several animal guides through out your life. Sometimes an animal guide will come into your life for a short period of time, and then be replaced by another depending on the journey or direction you are headed toward. Your guide will instruct and protect you as you learn how to navigate through your spiritual and physical life. When you find an animal that speaks strongly to you or feel you must draw more deeply into your Life, you might fill your environment with images of the animal to let the animal know it's welcome in your space. Animal! guides can help you get back to your Earthly roots, and reconnect with nature by reminding you that we are all interconnected. To first do this you need to know what your Animal Totem is.

动物图腾是一种被人们用来与人们需要的一种动物的特殊性品质相联系起的重要的象征性物体，这种联系，是一种深切的密切关系。

在你的一生中，你可以有好几个图腾。有时候，一个图腾将会在你的生活里出现一小段时间之后被另外一个所取代，这些都依赖于你人生旅途的方向。当你学会如何在你的精神和物质这片广阔的天空中自由航行时，你的图腾将会在这个航程中一直指引和保护你。当你找到了一种对你来说强有力地影响着你的动物，或者你能感觉到他将更加深入地融入你的生活时，你应该用关于这个动物的想象来填满你周围的环境，来让这个动物知道你欢迎他来到你的空间。图腾可以帮你寻回到尘世根源，通过提醒你世间生灵都是相互联系的来使你与大自然再次接合。而你首先要做的就是找出你的图腾是什么。

如果你不知道...

如果你不知道你的图腾是什么，这里有几个问题你需要问自己。所有以下的问题都是为了让你想起你生命中最突出的那种动物而设计。这里没有正确或是错误的答案。唯有你才知道哪一种动物是能够陪伴你度过整个旅程的。

当我们被某种与我们产生共呜的东西所吸引时，是哪一种动物、鸟类或是昆虫吸引了你？

当你去公园、森林或者是动物园时，哪一种动物是你有感兴趣去观望的？

当你在户外的大自然或是在城市里面，哪一种动物是你见到次数最频繁的？

哪种动物是你当前最有兴趣去了解的？

哪一种动物是你觉得最惊人恐惧的或是最迷人的？

你曾今被一种动物咬过或是攻击过吗？

有一个反复出现的动物在你的梦境里或者你有一个人你从未忘记吗？

仍然无法确定？

如果你仍然无法确定哪一种动物是你的图腾，这里有一些习题能够帮助你更加接近答案。你不能强迫这种动物的出现，你这样做可能会导致过程被推迟。保持耐心并做下面的这些习题，将会帮助你的图腾来到你的身边。

1.询问你自己，哪一种动物在你的世界里扮演着最重要的角色？如果你不确定，制作一个引起你兴趣的动物列表，或者是一个在绘画、照片、故事、电影、雕刻等等中给你留下了深刻印象的动物列表。

2.哪一种动物在你的生活中出现的最为频繁？用日记记录下那个出现在你梦境里或者是在下个月的某一天与你偶遇的动物。你和这个动物相互之间来电吗？ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ

3.找到一个你能够沉思的地方。安静的坐下来，并与你的动物交流，使他的本性为你所了解。你可以随意的使用譬如香、烟熏和烛台等工具来帮助你。

4.如果你真的很想跟他建立联系的话，不要放弃，有时候你的图腾已经很接近你就要被你发现了。继续做上述的练习，直到你发现属于你自己的图腾。

这可能是这一年最后一段话了

讲真我真的要睡了。甭管什么图不图腾，床才是我最终的归属╰（‵□′）╯
