Elephants are traditionally considered a symbol of good luck, wisdom, fertility, and protection. Associated with the root chakra (related to Uttarashadha & Jyeshta Nakshatra), charging through blockages and supporting energies of protection, love, loyalty, and quiet courage.
Alternatively, Elephant symbolism may be letting you know to shift your focus so that you may view the whole picture. In this case, a narrow approach will mean that you will miss something important. This giant mammal could symbolize that you are unearthing buried memories to release them.
People with Elephant totem are quite brilliant and often make excellent researchers or scientists. These people have deep emotions and will respond to those feelings from a place of inner knowing.
The family is essential, especially the very young and the very old. Folks with this spirit animal always have a soft spot for the weak and the helpless. Loyalty is the Elephant totem person’s strong suit, and are loyal despite challenging circumstances in all situations.
A dream in which you are this animal suggests you need to make your opinions and views known. In other words, you need to be more vocal and voice your ideas. Thus, you must express yourself more often!
" Welcome any melancholy or sadness that wells up inside you. Consciously invite such feelings in. Knowing and embracing sadness is the key to also feeling joy, so do not fear these feelings – let them come and let them move through. We release them in order that future generations will not need to carry them. Having done this, invite the joy in as well." – Richard Rudd, The Dream Arc
