how to find your spirit animal

I think getting outside is an excellent environment for when whether is picking up your spirit animal. Start out with the setting of a quiet countryside and turn your attention towards finding out your spirit animal. Then everything around you may seem to have this newly-found quality about it, so leave yourself open and observant.

I would suggest that you take note if one particular animal keeps appearing in your dreams, or perhaps even take photographs of it. The characteristics and nature of that particular animal should be studied--if they seem to match up with your own, it might be a sign that this animal is your spirit guide. Use your own best judgment to select a specific guide.

Don't do this to imitate others or simply because someone else has done every step in training but at your own pace--and direction the process goes. And remember: Spirit animal stories are telling us it's different to uncover them than 'hunting down' one.

If you find that being in the physical environment does not help guide you into contact with your Natural self, then turn within and try it. Daily meditation can create a clear inner environment and more self-awareness, in which spirit animals may reveal themselves which might not otherwise have existed.

Create and focus on a beautiful, quiet imaginary place. Call out to your spirit animal to show itself. So that each session might bring transformative joy, it could be an epiphany or it might be the result of gradual comprehension, but keep the patience.

Simply taking an online quiz might just reveal your spirit animal. While not necessarily accurate, it can be a fun way to get started!

Energies can reveal a lot and gemstones are known for their energies. Using certain gemstones while meditating can attract spirit animals too. For instance, if you feel connected with wolf energy, try meditating with a moonstone or if you resonate with eagles, use an Apache tear stone.

Connect your past with your present and future. Reflect on your interactions with animals over the years. Any animal that you've always been drawn to or fascinated by could hold the key!
