When we come across different animals, it may mean that they are carrying some significant message for us.
Several Native American tribes believe that every living animal on this planet carries with it its personal message and piece of wisdom. In fact, animals are sentient beings, and they should be treated with respect and dignity.
Since ancient times, humanity regarded the animals as sacred, and their behavior was usually interpreted as instructions they were given from Mother Earth.
By observing the behavior of animals, we may obtain a much better understanding of the energy which surrounds us, and we may also gain insight into intuitive signs and messages.
We all know that we have our own spirit guides, but, we have to know that we have our spirit animals too. Usually, they will appear in our life carrying messages or lessons about our strength and abilities and usually accompany us during some part of our lives, in order to show us the path.
Here are the 13 most common animal messages and what they mean:
1. Hawk
This bird has sharp eyes and mighty wings. When we see hawks or some images of hawks frequently, it may indicate that we have to examine something more carefully, before we get into it. Also, it may mean that a significant teacher or lesson is going to appear in our life.
2. Eagle
These birds are the symbol of spiritual protection and transitioning into the higher consciousness levels. When we see the eagle or images of eagles frequently, it may mean that we are transitioning into a new consciousness realm.
3. Raven/Crow
This bird is commonly known as a bad omen, so seeing raven may mean that we are prepared to let something go, and start some kind of ‘death and rebirth’ cycle.
4. Owl
When we see owls, maybe we have to listen to our own intuition more than we usually do. The owl is the messenger that is meant to remind us that our gut guides us in the right way. Also, it can be a sign which indicates that we have to channel our own truth and begin acting uniquely.
5. Cardinal
The cardinal is usually believed to carry a message from our deceased father figure or a male spirit guide. Seeing cardinals may remind us that we are still loved and protected by our father and that we have to persevere confidentially on the path we walk on.
6. Lizard
The lizard and lizard imager indicates the need for us to be more devoted to our dreams and goals. Maybe we have lost sight of all our possibilities, and maybe we feel negativity about the ability of our skills to fulfill our desires. Seeing lizards will remind us that the power lies in us and that we have to cultivate our highest path.
