Animals have many powerful lessons to share. They are wonderful teachers. They remind us that we are only a small part of creation; that each part of creation has a place; that each creature has its own skill and wisdom.

According to Indian wisdom, you do not choose an animal guide as your personal spirit guide. The animal chooses you and they decide to whom they will reveal themselves and make their friend. As of right now in my life, I believe that I have been chosen by a spirit animal to help guide and teach me- The Rabbit.

Now I have to be honest- the rabbit was not my first choice. It wasn’t my second choice. I didn’t even consider a rabbit as a choice; it just didn’t cross my mind.  I was hoping for the swan, an owl, maybe an octopus – something that focused on my positive traits and something that sounded romantic and mystical. The rabbit was nowhere near what I was imagining.

I began to direct my energy on allowing my spirit animal to find me and I came to this conclusion after many personal questions were answered, dreams were spoken, and encounters occurred. So, for now, I will try to learn from the rabbit. I will focus on improving my overall self. I will focus on the thoughts and ideas that might be holding me back from moving forward. I will open my mind to new ways and work on the philosophy of Be Here Now. Want to know more about the Rabbit? Check out my rabbit spirit interpretation!

Each Animal has its own medicine which is unique to that specific creature. Discovering who your animal guides are is a process of paying attention to the spirits around you and following the signs. It is a process of developing your inner knowledge and spiritual understanding.

According to Manataka, If you want your spirit animal to find you, you should focus on asking for your spirit animal in dream or thought. First, pray about it. Second, be satisfied with whatever happens or does not happen.

If it comes, then it comes. If it doesn’t, then it doesn’t. Just don’t force it. :)

Animals are wondrous happy creatures. There is no doubt that animals have beautiful, balanced emotions. They love and defend one another. They feel sorrow and melancholy yet they don’t focus on thoughts about greed, envy, or hate like humans do. They live their entire lives without sin. We can learn a lot from the animal world. :)

Now its time for you to share your spirit animal interpretations! What animal guides you? How did your spirit animal find you?

Lets have some fun here!

Peace and Progress,
