You have to admit, there\u2019s something almost magical\nabout being in the presence of the almighty elephant. Unfortunately, most\npeople will only get to experience this at a local zoo, by watching a National\nGeographic-type program, or by following a wildlife photographer on Instagram. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elephants emit an aura of strength and power unlike any other animal in the wild. These sensitive creatures are loyal to and protective of their families\/herds. They live in matriarchal societies that promote trust and respect within them, obvious to even the most casual observer. They are intelligent, sensitive, playful, loving, and equally fierce when protecting their clan. And when it comes to their young, sometimes it really does take a village, and that is just one of their secrets to successfully living in the wild. They are nature\u2019s gentle giants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a whole, elephants represent positivity and new beginnings. In feng shui they are viewed as symbols of good luck and prosperity as well as maintaining the balance between the playful young elephant and the calm, assuring wisdom of the adult. Physically, their large heads are a symbol of this universal wisdom, and their trunks are said to emit the meditative sound of \u201cOM,\u201d believed to be the first sound heard at the birth of our Universe, representing life itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are elephant totems or totem poles that show one elephant on top of another\u2019s back. They can be made of pottery, wood, or other materials and can range in size from the smallest trinket to the size of an actual totem pole. The meaning is to see oneself as part of a community rather than just as an individual. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the elephant is your totem animal, it is important\nto your inner well-being to be socially connected to others as well as\nconnected to nature. It may also be a call to leadership within your community.\nSimilarly, if the elephant is your spirit animal, it may be you who is capable\nof bringing peace and restoring harmony within your group or herd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As your spirit animal, you can call upon the elephant when you need to heal from past memories or traumatic events. The elephant will guide you through a wide range of differing emotions. Elephants can dig up old memories, good and bad; and as an animal with a long memory, it may call upon you to forgive, even if it\u2019s likely a situation you\u2019ll never forget. It will help you find calm, peace, and give you the faith needed to trust your own intuition and to find inner tranquility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When an elephant shows up in your dreams, it can be\nhard to ignore. Perhaps that\u2019s the point. Like the \u201c800-pound gorilla in the\nroom,\u201d we often refer to when speaking of things that we can\u2019t ignore, the\nelephant arrives to get your attention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like a carefree youth, dreaming of a young elephant is\na message to you to perhaps add more levity and playfulness into your daily life.\nAlternatively, dreaming of an adult elephant can be either a reminder or a\nwarning that something is coming up that may need your attention. If your dream\nshows a group of elephants stampeding, it can be a warning that something\ndisruptive may soon occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dreaming of an elephant may also be a message from your subconscious, making you aware of the need for patience and empathy toward people around you. Also, as elephants are known for their incredible memories, an elephant dream may also symbolize the need to let go of an old notion, belief, or a part of your past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Generally speaking, seeing an elephant in your dreams\ncan symbolize good luck, wisdom, and even strength, for even the toughest\nthings we go through can help make us stronger overall. Think of events going\non around you, and likely you will see how the wisdom of the elephant can\nenhance your life. In African and Asian cultures, this is certainly the case,\nawake or asleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
