What does your totem animal reveal about you?
Connecting with the animals in dance is an ancient practice. We witness many shamans wearing animal like costumes. On cave art we see trance dancers depicted half animal half human. To connect with the animal in the dance is to connect with the qualities, powers and gifts that animal has to offer. As we dance what images are revealed? What is the animal saying to us?
By dancing the animal we embody and feel the messages they have to offer. We feel the qualities and powers of the animal and how they may be useful in our life. We take on these qualities and make them our own and so integrate the totem animal in us.
