How to Find Your Spiritual Animal
Complete identification with a particular animal governed the Native American's whole being. A 21st century industrialized Westerner can also gain wisdom and counsel from his spiritual animal. Modeling yourself after the attributes of an animal you admire can transform you.
1
Discover your personal animal guide by thinking about animals in common parlance--brave as a lion, industrious as a beaver, gentle as a deer. Think of an animal whose attributes you want to emulate. Then study his ways, his life, his behavior.
2
Read about the special qualities of totem animals in the Native American tradition. Determine which ones you are attracted to. (See Resources)
3
Explore other traditions such as Chinese or Celtic. Pick your animal from these paths. (See Resources)
4
Try a New Age approach to meeting your animal guide. Close your eyes, sit quietly and wait for your animal guide to visit you. (See Resources)
5
Record your dreams. Take note when animals appear for they may be your spiritual animals.
6
Let your spiritual animal be your guide. Gain strength and wisdom from him throughout your life.

You may have more than one spiritual animal as you go through life. One usually dominates though.
