The Healthy Choices Wellblog

I’ve worked with animal teachers for many years now.

I have trained myself to pay attention to the creature beings
that enter my life. When they appear in a significant way, I
strive to pause and ask….”what was I thinking? what was I
about to do, say, decide?”

The messages have been life-altering at times and, at other
times, very confusing.

I am wondering if anyone has information on groundhog as a
totem because I’ve been seeing them everywhere.

I saw four in one day….three on one side of the road and then
a fourth about a mile down the same road.

Then, a fifth a few days later.

Then, I hit one with my car. Thank God it didn’t kill it but I
recognized an acceleration in the medicine and wondered…
what am I missing about this that it had to come again, and
so severely this time?

I read in Animal Speaks that groundhog medicine can foretell
a period of intense spiritual digging and development that lasts
for two years. I confess that is not the message I want. I feel
I’ve dug and developed for a gajillion lifetimes already. I’m really,
really, really sure that work is over.

Animal Speaks also says that groundhog may appear as a totem
or Spirit messenger to assist with lesson on death without dying.
That’s another lesson I thought I’d done with.

Am I missing something or just thinking I’m through with something
and not through?

I just wondered if anyone else might have a different message
from groundhog as a totem. If so, I’d love to hear your comments.
