Animal Messengers ~ Ladybug

Animals are present in our lives whether they live in the wild, the back garden, the air, or as pets, yet we so often lack an understanding of the symbolism behind the ones that walk, fly, slither across our paths.  Each animal has such a beautiful and profound message to bring each of us, it is important that we don't over look there significance in our lives.  When we become aware of the presence of a specific species that seem to be ever present in our lives for a moment, a week or even a season, for some a lifetime it is important to understand that each one may offer us powerful insight into our lives in that moment.

Some of the things animals can symbolize if we become aware of their presence in our lives are aspects of our personality (this is a great indication for where you might be in the moment and how your attitude or mind is playing a great role in whether you are balanced in all areas of your life or not).  The presence of a specific animal could be an answer to a prayer or a question you have asked of your higher power, or maybe even to thin air.  Think of all those questions you may have asked and wondered why you didn't feel heard or that an answer wasn't brought to you, maybe just maybe that answer came in the form of an animal and you were not aware of.  A Totem Animal can come into your life when your emotions are heightened or maybe a situation has arisen that has you feeling like you are struggling in life.  Totem Animals can bring us all sorts of amazing and valuable insight (whether it is small or profound) into our lives, not only that they are filled with messages of guidance and understanding.  

The latest little Totem Animal who has graced my life in the last few days has been none other than Ladybug.  She has stepped forward in the most significant ways that there's no way I could ignore her presence in my life.  She came as pictures in a leaflet in my mail, flying in front of me to land on a plant I was sitting or standing next too.  A little girl even pointed out two that had landed on my arm and warned me when I went to sit down a rock, as she was scared I was going to squash it.  And to top off my ladybug Totem experience I have had that little ladybug song stuck in my head for the last two days.  So here is the message brought to you by ladybug and I tell you what, i'm glad I noticed her or became aware, because it was the perfect message at the perfect time. Thank you Ladybug what a beautiful message!

A Wish Fulfilled 

The appearance of a Ladybug heralds a time of luck and 
protection in which our wishes begin to be fulfilled.
Fall and Spring are the most abundance times for a person with a Ladybug totem.

Higher goals and new heights are possible with a Ladybug totem.
Worries begin to dissipate.  New happiness comes about.

Their presence signals a time of shielding from our own aggravations and pests.
Its coloring, red and black, is a warning to predators
and we need to give that same clear warning to our enemies.
Stay back!  I'm dangerous if attacked!
Lady bug is never the aggressor, but it will defend.

Ladybug also cautions not to try to hard or go to fast to fulfill our dreams.
Let things flow at their natural pace.
In the due course of time, our wishes will all come true.

Is there an Animal Totem that has been ever present in your life at the moment?

Much love to you all!
