Title: Ant Post by: guest88 on Jun 27, 2019 06:11 am Can you believe through these many pages of animal totems we still haven't posted one about the Ant?
!!! (http://native-american-totems.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/ant_totem.jpg) http://native-american-totems.com/animal-totem-medicines/what-does-the-ant-totem-teach-us/ If you don't want to click the link, here it is in full. Quote An Ant can carry a leaf over hundreds of miles just to get it back to its anthill. There are ants in Africa that will strip a forest bare if their food is scarce. It might take them a year to do it but they will get it done. The medicine of Ant is the strategy of patience. Ant shares characteristics of many of the other animal totems. Like Beaver, ant is a builder. Ant can be aggressive like Badger. It can match Elk in stamina and knows scrutiny like Mouse. There is a group mind in every anthill as all of the ants work for the Queen and the hive itself. Self-sacrifice is a part of Ant medicine but patience is by far the strongest of its gifts. People with Ant medicine are active and community minded people. They are planners of great magnitude and are quite content to see their dreams being built slowly and methodically over time. There is a trust in Ant that the Universe will provide and that whatever is yours will come to you in its time. If you were drawn to this message today, what is Ant telling you? Ant says it is time to show some trust and patience in a life situation. Have you forgotten that you will always receive what you need at the time you need it the most? This thing that you know you need but isn’t just around the corner for you, do you need to use some strategy to get it closer? Also, Ant always works for the good of the community. Are you? Remember the universal community wants goodness for you and it will be provided. It just takes some powerful patience from you at times. Have you ever looked at Ant this way? I know I had not. Society usually looks at Ant as a nuisance. So, this lesson reminded me that respect of all creatures is important and that we all have a purpose on Mother Earth. I know I will never look at Ant in the same way after having researched how it falls in the Native American Totems. ~Mitakuye Oyasin~ We ARE all related Title: Re: Ant Post by: Jitendra Hydonus on Jun 27, 2019 08:08 am Our synergy is quite often connected, and we share and help in synchronized learning. I have seen many presences of ants recently. While mowing the lawn I was amazed at the cities of sand hills they have built in the lawn where I live. So I was quite grateful when you nudged me to read this at my encounter with an ant on the couch today.

It’s good to know that our good and kind intentions can bring a corresponding response from friends and those around us that helps us understand the most seemingly insignificant details and occurrences of our life.!!!

I see these small creatures in their instinctive fear of a giant like me scurrying and trying to escape. Since I know they came to give me a message and they too are evolving upward as we ourselves; I now try to catch them and put them outdoors in a more natural habitat. Patience, Stamina, Community and Planning. Hmmm must be important because the little fellows are dedicated to taking up residence in the kitchen this summer! Looking at all creatures as evolving and progressing gives me much more respect for this body I inhabit and it’s ability to express divine consciousness in this lifetime. Sometimes the littlest of creatures can inspire us! Tonight I felt like just going to sleep but instead I’m now sitting up to meditate because of a little spirit totem Eric brought to our forum. A liittle creature I could have crushed but learned to appreciate instead.

When the ant appears as your spirit animal, it is a guide to help you take things slow. Notice that despite everything the ant does, it moves at a steady pace. It does not rush, but neither does it lounge around! This is a reminder that every task that we do could be far better (and feel less tiring) if we do not rush. The world is tough enough as it is without us trying to force things. This could potentially drive us to making mistakes, which would take even more effort to fix. Sure, there are opportunities to be had with one’s quick thinking and fast reactions, but there are even more doors that could open when we approach cautiously and strategically. https://www.resets.org/ant-symbolism-facts-meaning-totem-spirit-power-animal/ Title: Ants in your house Post by: Jitendra Hydonus on Jun 04, 2020 10:38 am There is no secret that ants are exceptionally hardworking, dedicated, skilled and the most organized insects of all. They live by strict rules, believe in teamwork and are always engaged in their own work. We commonly find a colony of ants marching into our house in places like the kitchen and overlook it. But do you know that there is a story behind every animal or bird behaviour?
Ants also give some hints about the positive and negative incidents that are about to happen in your life. As per Jyotish Shastra, ants are linked to good luck and wealth. https://m.timesofindia.com/life-style/health-fitness/de-stress/this-is-what-it-means-if-you-see-ants-in-your-house/photostory/72040917.cms Title: Re: Ant Post by: guest587 on May 02, 2022 12:40 am https://whatismyspiritanimal.com/spirit-totem-power-animal-meanings/insects/ant-symbolism-meaning/ Today a fire ant inspected my presence, then went about his business. These are hard working creatures. Mother Earth gifts us such beautiful array of Life and Wisdom. When the ant appears as your spirit animal, it is a guide to help you take things slow.

The lady bug is one of my personal totems having dreamt of it in relation to my Sufi dream and sharing with a member here as indication of our friendship and a greater connection to something Spiritual/Divine. I wondered what it meant, whether the lady bug was dead, and thought that it might be time to share the Sufi wisdom- at least try to, with the community. Shortly after I saw two doves zooming around, again, the wind was blowing and they were riding it with style. Everything is happening in pairs right now.

A liittle creature I could have crushed but learned to appreciate instead. This is nice introspection. Sometimes I think about the life of an insect compared the that of a human and contemplate whether there's a similar effect with divine beings living among us. Angels, spirits or even ET's. Title: Re: Ant Post by: guest587 on Sep 07, 2023 04:23 am An ant, of all beings, found itself on my laptop while I was in the restroom early this morning. :o
And I noticed the ant again just now while I was doing my physical therapy. It made me think of Steve and this thread. *bump* ;D Title: Re: Ant Post by: guest587 on Jan 12, 2024 09:24 pm One last post before I go back to my day and taking care of daily task- I find it relevant to share with you Steve, since you crossed my mind at its sighting. And with your recent post, you've helped me understand something I had never known. So I hope the timing of the Ant totem inspires you, and re-aligns your will with your greatest desire... I don't speak with authority, I don't know what your greatest desire is- but I know you recently said you wanted more time for Kriya and meditation. Yesterday, I tried taking the advice from the thread "Just for today" http://spiritualportal.net/index.php/topic,8993.msg44769.html#msg44769 In my efforts, while at work, a lone ant crawled across the countertop. I did not want to kill the ant- even though the customer noticed me looking at this tiny guy. I immediately thought of Steve and community. And even though this ant was tiny, the message feels of great importance. Maybe we'll discover that importance together. |
