Squirrel: What is your message to me?

I have been seeing the same squirrel for two days now. Up close and personal. Not too far from my front door. I know it is the same squirrel because he is no longer nervous when I step out on our balcony. He is as comfortable with me in his space as I am in his. You see, we share the same space. He is less of an invader than perhaps I. But we are accepting of each other's presence.

After seeing him the second time within an hour on the first day, I wondered what he had to tell me. What message do you have for me, Squirrel Spirit? You haven't entered my space by coincidence, happenstance, or circumstance... but you are here boldly... not trying to leave me or abandon me before I get your understanding.

So, to help myself along, I googled and the words you see below are the first that came up to define the message that the squirrel brings to us... if we are keen enough to acknowledge his presence. It just so happens that his message is right in line with where I am spiritually on another aspect of my spiritual life that I am in the process of evaluating.

So out of respect and with thanksgiving I will share with those who do not know the message of the squirrel totem.

Gathering, Activity, Preparedness.
The gathering power of Squirrel is a great gift.

It teaches us balance within the circle of gathering

and giving out.

They remind us that in our quest for our goals,

it is vital to make time for play and socializing.

Squirrel teaches us to conserve our energy for times of need.

If your totem is Squirrel or Squirrel has recently

entered your life,

lighten your load of things that are unnecessary

– things that you have gathered in the past

and may be cluttering your life

– thoughts, worries, and stresses.

Squirrel is also the totem of action.

Ask yourself are you too active, not active enough,

afraid of enough,

hung up on accumulating and collecting.

Squirrel people tend to be a little erratic

– trying to do many things at once.

Take the time to stop and listen to your inner self

– and don’t forget to play!

Now, let me go and meditate and give thanks to the Creator for the squirrel and others to follow.

peace,
