The Turtle Spirit shows up when we are in need of some slowing down. As turtles normally take their days fairly slowly, they remind us to pace ourselves and ride the tide of life. Having patience will take you far on your journey and it is important to remember that it does not matter how long it takes you. Stay persistent on your path and trust that you are where you are supposed to be. Channel the ancient wisdom of the Turtle Spirit and listen to your inner guidance.

Even though the turtle is known for being a water anima, the Turtle Spirit embodies the energy of the Earth more. Being an animal close to the ground, the Turtle Spirit helps us remain grounded and on track. We will be more in touch with the natural elements and in turn we will receive the peace that our lives so desperately need at this time.

The turtle has been recorded in many different cultures as carrying the land or Earth on its back. This led some to think that the Earth was flat.

The Turtle reminds us that we have everything we need in life to preserve - believe in yourself and grow a thick shell, don’t allow other’s comments or remarks to stop you from moving forward. By slowing down and discovering the best version of yourself, you will be successful in whatever you do.

“You are master of finding life’s flow.

Be in harmony with the rhythm

and your path will unfold.

Persevere and you will succeed.

You will have everything you need

to be protected and happy. “
