| East – This animal represents the challenges of the spirit that an individual is facing, has faced, or are yet to occur. There is usually a message about life lessons and your own true purpose when one studies the Totem Animal in the East. Through challenges of the spirit we continue to hold true to our inner self and ensure our adherence to our spiritual path. The animal in the East guides us to our higher self. The animal in the East can show us much about ourselves and our path. Any who take the spiritual journey need protection and a guide, this Totem will be just that for you. If you search for the you within and for your spiritual essence, this animal helps you connect with your higher self. South – This is the totem that protects the inner child. In a sense it holds your social conscience by reminding you that through humility and judiciously granted trust an inner innocence can be maintained. Balanced with your life experience and personal knowledge, the inner child can survive and continue to grow and develop. West – It is to this animal that you should look to discover the essential you – that inner self so essential to all of us. Whether we choose to listen to our inner voice or not is often a challenge and test of our own personal mettle. This animal will help to keep you focused. If you’ve become disconnected from your own inner voice, studying the habits of your Totem in the West will help you rediscover that your own inner voice is the best advice you’ll ever hear. It is the voice of your heart. It is the voice of the veritable essence of who you are and what you know. North – The direction of the North makes most of us think of cold winters, ice and snow. Your animal to the North should be your personal “Jiminny Cricket.” The direction of North has been held by many cultures to represent those who have survived the passage of time as North is associated with Winter, the last season before rebirth of the new Spring. From the North we can learn when it’s time to listen to what others have to say and when it is time to hold the floor and say our piece. The North Animal will always give you aspects to consider you may not have seen on your own. Finally, those who have eeked out an existence in the far north truly understand how to be grateful for each and every blessing that comes their way. Above – Max Ehrmann said it best: “You are a child of the Universe, no less than the trees and the stars, you have a right to be here.” The Above totem animal is the one that will help you stay connected with your place in the Universe and your connection and interrelationship with all other living things. The Above animal also guards the sleeping mind and is considered to be the guardian of the dream time, allowing you your own personal access to other planes and/or dimensions. Below – This is the animal to look to when you need to get yourself centered again. If you feel like you are getting off track, tapping into the earth energy represented by the Below totem animal with help you get back into the right groove. Getting to know your Below Totem will help you stay grounded, help you stay true to your inner self, and give you guidance on your true life path. Within – As the name implies, the Within Totem Animal is the keeper of your most precious and personal space. The Within Animal shows you how to set the appropriate boundaries so that only those you choose to have there may enter into that special place. Studying the Within Animal will help you to realize that which truly makes you happy on the most inner levels and how to achieve it. Finally, the Within calls to us to stay faithful to that which our inner voice knows as truth. Right side – The Right Side Totem represents the masculine side. It is your male spirit essence, whether you are male or female. This totem animal not only is your male-protector, it is the essence of the Father-protector in some AmerIndian beliefs. Along with being a protection, this Totem is where you will find your masculine virtues of courage, determination and warrior spirit. Look to the Totem that is at your Right to ensure you are using your male energy properly. Are you allowing those around you to grow as well? Be sure to look to the Right to keep your energies balanced. Honor the warrior within you by honoring the Totem at your Right. Left Side - The Left side is the receptive, or female, energy Totem. This animal will protect your feminine side (whether you are a man or a woman you have a feminine side). Feminine energy is receptive, nurturing energy. When wanting to understand yourself and how you act in the emotional realm, especially in the area of relationships, look to this Totem for guidance. This totem also shows you the abundance provided and that all you need do is learn to accept and receive the abundance at hand. When you feel bereft and low, look to this Totem to show you the blessings and bounty you have in your life but may be missing because you don’t realize it is there. By doing so you honor yourself; passing on this energy by nurturing others as indicated by your Totem contributes to the interconnected forces that intertwine us all.

| Here’s a description of our Totem Spread. |
| The Totem Spread is an excellent tool for self- introspection and maybe a good peak at how we see life and deal with it as well. Not intended to be a question answering spread, the Totem Spread is designed to help you align your outer self with your inner self. It also is helpful to know who the totem animals are that appear in your spread. If you start seeing a lot of a certain type of bird or animal it could well be a message that you shouldn’t ignore. Totem spreads should only be done very rarely. This spread is especially good for personal grounding and reconnection, self-introspection, and when working towards achieving your higher self. Normally it is recommended that you only have a Totem Spread if you have just experienced major change (move, career |
| change, divorce, etc.). Not to be taken lightly, a Totem spread can tell us much about who we are, what we truly want, and the direction in which we are going. As part of our spirituality profile, we offer three |
| Since we are embarking on a new endeavor and essentially a whole new life, we have done Totem Spreads as part of our Spirituality Profiles so you can not only learn more about who we are, but also see what the reports looks like. The Totem Spread is a special layout. Here is a general description to allow you to see what the positions mean! When you get a totem spread done you will be asked if you have a special affinity to an animal, fish, bird, or insect. This affinity many times indicates that although you may not be sure why, you have already been chosen by that being as a carrier of its totem. The animal positions are as follows: |
| East- North- Within- |
| South- Above- Right Side- |
| West- Below- Left Side- |
