I think spending time in nature and watching the animals and going to the local zoo and seeing my fav thr African elephant they are powerful wise and loved by all who see them they are a beautiful creature. I find being with animals or pets a powerful healing for me because they bring peace love and harmony to the universe that is the power of animals.

 

what is a spirit animal?

A spirit animal is a animal that helps protect and giude people on there path it is mostly in indigonous culture known as totums. The animal will appear to you to guide and protect you on your journey they are powerful white magic. I love looking at different enviroments and the different animals and learning and understanding more about the animal world this facinates me and sparks my curiousity. Animals where given to us to create peace and harmony and protect humans.

 

The most important thing is to show love and kindness to all animals wheather they be your dog or cat or if there the animal at the zoo. I think each animal deserves a home and love. We as a community must be grateful for our animals. There are many things we can learn from animals like how to be loving and kind to others. Animal are powerful guides in life and need to be given respect and gratitude for there guidance in our lives.

 

  I would like to know what animal do you feel protects you and keeps you safe?

 

My spirit animal is the white tiger which I always feel is a guideing powerful force for good in my life.

 

I think going on safari and seeing the lions and the elephants would be great.

 

What is your favourite animal to see in the zoo?

 

I feel animals are the source of great healing and they walk beside us and guide us. You must treasure your animals and love them and spoil them and they will look after you all of your life. My dog is cute but very intelligant he knows when Im sad he knows wen Im not feeling right and he knows exactly what to do to comfort me and bring me peace even in the most difficult of times. Animals are that candle out of the darkness and into the light.

 

Compassion

 

I show love and compassion to all living things is powerful if you give compassion you will receive in different ways. I beleive our animals are the most powerful form of compassion and we must grateful to have them in our lives. In harry potter he has a patronous your spirit animal is like your patronous and it protects and keeps you safe.

 

Animals are the great healers and we must love them everyday

 

Don't forget give your animal a hug?

Dear Elephant86~

You are certainly right that animals can have a great influence on our lives and bring comfort. I"m not sure about having an animal as a spirit but I do have one that keeps me company.

 

Sumo cat is large, brown with magnificent whiskers and very dignified. It's the normal cat-human relationship, he is boss, I am staff.

 

Of an evening he sits on his special plush blanket by my left elbow and 'supervises' as I type. Supervision incidentally can be done wiht eyes closed and every appearance of snoozing. It is amazing how a cat doing absolutely nothing can have such an influence and create a feeling of warmth in an otherwise empty room and a house into a home.

 

if you want to know how Sumo got his name read here

Hi Elephant86,

 

Thanks a lot for your message. It was really interesting and inspiring. I couldn't agree more that spending time in nature and watching animals is so good for us.

 

I have a slightly different way of enjoying the outdoors. I love to walk. When I'm walking, I often come up with new ideas, and it helps me feel less stressed. I sometimes see things in new ways, which is a nice surprise.

 

The advanced version of walking - going for a hike in nature is really special to me. I also enjoy bird watching. If I have time on the weekends or holidays, I always bring my telescope. It's exciting to see different birds each time.

 

We're really lucky to have so many good places to hike and watch birds around Melbourne. Being in nature helps me find inner peace and learn more about myself.
