Skunk

[guest587]

We would all do well to take this animal symbolism from the skunk: Do no harm. Indeed, as a totem animal, the skunk asks us to defend ourselves effectively, without causing further conflict.

Interestingly, the skunk would prefer to be even less assertive. You see, it takes over a week to reproduce its stinky juices after using them (their glands are only good for about 4 sprays). Ergo, the skunk is 100% sure it must spray before doing so as this defense tool is a commodity in the wild – not to be wasted on false alarms.

In recognizing this, we see the skunk is the ultimate pacifist, and by adopting its peace-loving ways we may obtain the carefree lifestyle this creature enjoys.

Carefree indeed, the skunk has very few predators because most of the animal kingdom recognize its tell-tale markings and know from wildlife scuttlebutt the skunk is not to be fooled with. As such, the skunk goes about its business with aplomb, and has an innocent quality that few wild creatures have the luxury of exhibiting.

Those with the skunk as their animal totem are naturally buoyant. They go through life with a calm assurance, and exude a peaceful energy that is extremely attractive to others.

Call upon the spirit of the skunk when you need quality judgment in a situation – particularly if you’re in a stressful state, or someone is pushing your buttons. The skunk will ease you out of the situation with deft and diplomacy.

The skunk can also help calm jangled nerves, and help to center ourselves into a quiet, peaceful state.

The skunk as a spirit guide also symbolizes prudence, valor, awareness, and judgment. This animal has a keen sense of balance and is not known to attack others lightly. In fact, implementing its spray is actually more of a burden to the skunk than anything else.

It takes several days to refill the supply in its glands, so the skunk only acts when it is certain that it must. Even then, it is not meant to be malicious. When a skunk chooses to spray, it aims to send a simple message to respect its boundaries while it respects yours.

Skunk In Relationships
Skunk totem reminds you that you do not have to keep the same friends year in year out. Go out there and make new friends. Be wild when it comes to meeting new people. This will save you from a lot of stress. Different people will always teach you different ways of living. The more you understand people, the more you become comfortable living with anyone. This animal encourages you to be social with others.

Skunk animal totem is a sign indicating that your weaknesses should not make you stay away from people. Everybody has his or her own weakness. Linking up with other people will teach you how to overcome your weakness. This animal totem reminds you that you will never hide from your troubles forever. Shelve all your fears and get out of your comfort zone. Seek help wherever possible to get over your weaknesses.

Skunk spirit animal signifies the positive energy of finding people who will enjoy your company while bringing out the best in you. Avoid people who force you to be who they want you to be. Life can be fun by the way you choose to live it. That is why you need people who will also enjoy your fun around you. Do not be frustrated by people who do not want to have fun in life. Respect other people’s privacy as much as you are having fun in life.

Skunk meaning will always encourage you to be satisfied with what you have in life. Every moment of life requires you to be happy. Never look down on yourself because of one mistake. Start from where you are. You do not have to have millions of money to put up your dream project. This animal brings a limelight into your life that you can grow from nothing to something. Your patience will see your business grow.

Symbolic Meaning Of Skunk
Seeing a skunk spirit totem presents you with the perfect opportunity to become confident in your interactions with others. It would help if you remembered that you could face life’s challenges with a calm and collected demeanor and be willing to set an example of this for others.

Skunk meanings also let you know that you can and the courage to right a wrong that you perceive. People who can relate to the skunk know the importance of justice prevailing and will act at all costs. However, we must remember that our “punch” needn’t be lethal. The skunk does not need to spray its foul odor to be powerful. We can learn that sometimes standing our ground firmly and with confidence is enough to win the battle.

It is wonderful to read a caption from an ol buddy that just was a little angry about my views. Although I still think of him and pray for him; the skunk tells us to avoid those who are unsupportive in our highest goals of behavior. We will always find friends of like mind and kindness. All it requires is the need to keep the company of God and the gurus to guide us to that real kindness that supports others who show kindness to us and others rather than wrath at the slightest perceived provocation.

We should always pray for others no matter what their reaction or actions are towards us; Recognizing that we ourselves still have our own imperfections and are also working towards being kind and understanding with others that come into our lives.
