Did you know that Justin Timberlake’s spirit animal is a monkey? Everyone has a spirit animal, including celebrities!

But what is yours? And how do you find out what it is?

Thankfully there are plenty of different spirit animals out there for you to choose from, but how do you find the perfect one for you? Keep reading to find out how!

Eagle

One of the common spirit animals is an eagle. If your spirit animal is an eagle, it might be asking you to view your life from a bird’s point of view.

Eagles can see what’s below them and see everything with an amazing sight. In order to be an eagle, you have to have a wide lens for looking at life instead of looking just at one thing or focusing too much on the details.

However, eagles also symbolize courage, strength, wisdom, and vision.

Hummingbird

Hummingbirds are very light and fast birds. If you have a hummingbird in your life, it could mean that you are going to be connected to someone soon. But it could also represent your adaptability and playful nature.

There is much more to hummingbird symbolism, but they’re really there to help to remind you to connect with your friends and family. They can also help lift you out of a negative feeling or mindset and show you that everything in life has a purpose and reason behind it.

Butterfly

If a butterfly comes into your life, it means that you are going to have a transformation coming. However, it could also just mean change in general.

The butterfly also represents birth and death because of the butterfly’s life cycle. Coming out of the cocoon symbolizes being born again and being able to start new and fresh.

Spider

If you took a spirit animal quiz, it might’ve also told you that your spirit animal is a spider.

Spiders can symbolize patience and creation. However, they’re also a symbol of feminine energy.

Be like a spider and carefully create your web that will trap all your opportunities and fruits of your labor. However, part of being a spider is being patient and waiting for something to get caught.

Owl

An owl is actually one of the rare animals that you can be.

Crossing paths with an owl is a true sign from the universe, and it’s meant to symbolize wisdom, knowledge, and connection. When you see an owl, get ready to take your life into exploring the unknown. You will likely have to go through some kind of change soon as well.

Find Your Spirit Animal

If all of these spirit animals interest you, you might still be curious as to what yours is and how to find it.

Thankfully, there are a few things that you can try to help give you clarity!

Focus on Your Dreams

You may not think anything of the crazy dreams you have each night, but they are actually very connected to your life.

If you see animals in your dreams, make sure that you write them down and make note of them. If you keep seeing a certain animal over and over, there is likely a reason, and they could be your spirit!

Journal About Animals

Are there any animals that you feel drawn to, but you can’t really explain why? Maybe you’re drawn to dolphins and always feel fascinated by them. Then that might be your animal!

You can try journaling about this and letting your thoughts flow out of you more easily to find the answers. For example, you may also want to ask what lesson that particular animal could be trying to teach you.

If you can’t think of anything, move on to the next animal until you find all the answers or until it feels right.

Take Some Quizzes

If you’ve tried the two methods above and didn’t come up with anything, you might want to take a quiz as well.

Some of them are more fun and silly, but some of them are serious and can give you more inspiration as to what your animal could be!

Do a Meditation

Lastly, you could also try out meditation if nothing else has worked. Make sure you’re in a quiet place with no distractions.

Close your eyes and just focus on your body and your breathing. This works better if you’re in nature so that you can be connected to all the other animals around the world.

Visualize a doorway in a forest after you’ve focused on your breath and then walk into the opening of the doorway. There will be a void past the door, but there will be safe energy nearby, which will be your animal.

If you’re not able to see it, try picking out certain aspects of it. How big is it? What does it feel like? What does it look like? You can even reach out to touch it and spend some time bonding with it as well.

When you’re satisfied, open your eyes. Now you will know what your spirit animal is.
