Turtles bury their eggs in the sand, showing us that at times we need to aid the growth of our delicate ideas before bringing them forth into the light. If it seems that there is too much to do, when we are good at starting projects but not so good at completing them, we can call on the energy of Turtle.Also remember the fable about the turtle and the hare? Faster, stronger and bigger does not always equal better, and is not always the best method to obtain a goal. If you are dedicated, focused and work hard to fulfil your aim, it is unimportant whether you are slow or not for eventually, you will succeed. Slow-moving, contemplative Turtle can also be seen as grounded. Being grounded doesn't mean being stuck in one place not going anywhere, stagnant. Turtle travels close to the earth, intimately connected with the currents of Mother Nature's energy. Moving slowly means it has all the time to appreciate all of her creations. We can follow this example, when we take the time that is always available, when we move more slowly along our own paths and enjoy the journey. We can learn to ground ourselves in the nurturing and protective energy of the earth and to flow with its energies at a pace which ensures what we focus on is achieved.
Because of its seemingly wide-eyed, long-lived, carefree attitude the turtle is often thought to be the wisest of souls among the animal kingdom. We would all do well to take this as a lesson and move at our own pace as the turtle does.Furthermore, the turtle takes its wisdom one day at a time - not reacting, simply accepting and moving on in its natural methods. Again, this is a powerful analogy for humankind, and we would benefit from adopting the same behavior pattern.Tutles share an association with water, which lends meanings of motion, intuition and emotion to the myriad of more symbolic meanings of the turtle.
Turtle is the oldest symbol for the Earth.It is the personification of goddess energy and the eternal Earth itself.If you have a Turtle totem,you must be mindful of returning to the Earth what she has given you.Honor the creative source within you.Use water and earth energies to create a harmonious flow in your life.Ask the Earth for assistance and her riches will pour forth.If a Turtle totem shows up in your life,slow down the pace of your life.Bigger, stronger, faster are not always the best ways to reach your goals.Turtle is fine teacher of the art of grounding.When you learn to ground yourself to Earth's power and strength,you place focus on your thoughts and actionsand use the Earth's limitless energies rather than your own to accomplish your will.
