Popularity of Manifesting With Elephants

By far the post on Manifesting With Elephants has been the most popular as of late on Beyond Zen. Since that post I myself see the little guys everywhere from my dreams to stickers on a car. Is the message that I need to be more like Elephant or that I am like Elephant and I need to embrace it? Which got me to thinking, if I use the meditation with elephants to remove the barriers to see why I am seeing the elephants, will I then know why I’m seeing them? Right…sorry….on with the post.Since it’s been so popular I thought I’d post what have found out since digging up details of Elephants as guides and such, so here goes:

According to many books and websites the Elephant as a totem indicates strength, luck and wisdom. Apparently the Hindu God Shiva had the Elephant as a totem animal and where Shiva & Parvati produced a son, he came out as the Elephant headed Ganesha.

One of the coolest facts I’ve found on elephants is their intense and close knit family dynamic, even showing tears when a family member dies. Along with this, they are one of the longer living animals in the kingdom and have increadible senses for their size.The virtues an Elephant as a Totem has is: strength, wisdom, good fortune, power, sexual prowess (sweet!), moderation, eternity, responsibility, right emotion (ahhh, maybe I need to call on Elephant to determine if the emotion I’m feeling is right or even mine?), champion of injustice, ancient wisdom, respect for others, strengthened memory, long-life, increased sensitivity to others feelings (oh great), intelligence, loyalty, affection, passion, family values and happy family.

From www.linsdomain.com:

Before the power of Ganesha

 

All barriers and obstacles are removed.

 

Through the wisdom of Ganesha

 

I draw confidence and new opportunities.

 

Under the love of Ganesha

 

I learn and grow stronger in all ways.

From Ted Andrews’ “Animal Speak”:

“Those who have the elephant as a totem will usually find themselves in a position where the opportunity to reestablish family and societal ideas will occur. Mutual care of the young, respect for the elderly and the sick, being strong in your own self - these are the foundations of a great person or society. If the elephant has come to you, you will have the opportunity to work toward establishing this within your own life or the lives of others. If the elephant has come to you prepare to draw upon the most ancient wisdom and power. You will have an opportunity to either help yourself or others reclaim your most primordial royalty.”

What else can I do but just enjoy the fact that I am seeing elephant everywhere?
