i did a meditation with a friend for my spirit animal and i think the animals that came up describe me quite well. the first animal a wolf represents loyalty to family and friends and also a bit of loneliness. wolves like to run feeling the wind like i do and they often howl at the moon which i like to think of it as expressing their loneliness. i think in colder frostier regions people use wolves to pull their sled and i like snow and helping people with heavy objects. the next animal a bear which represents power and protection and the sense of confidence i want to have in myself. also when a bear stands on its two hind legs, it is a bit unbalanced much like i can be unbalanced in my confidence at times and unsure if i have any. the four feet of the bear as it lumbers may represent the way i work toward my goals while working on my way to stand on my own two feet like the bear on its hind legs without wobbling. the bear can also represent aggression as sometimes i will do whatever it takes to protect what i care about. i was surprised to have a monkey come also, but i think the monkey illustrates my imaginative, caring and humorous nature. also i love the shade of trees and monkeys often swing from tree branch to tree branch, they are quite flexible creatures which i think i would like to work on becoming more like. the last creature a lion was pretty cool because it represents the way i want to be courageous, strong and powerful overcoming any obstacles at any cost. the negative aspect of the lion is that it wants to be in control. i think it is because at heart i feel insecure about myself and often seem fiercely independent and self-reliant so at times i want to reflect power and control.
