Okay, so I’ve been feeling this weird pull towards orca whales lately. Like, I keep seeing them everywhere – in documentaries, on social media, even in my dreams! So, I figured, why not dive in (pun intended!) and see what this whole “orca whale spirit animal” thing is about?
My Orca Spirit Animal Journey
First, I started with some good old-fashioned internet browsing. I just typed in “orca whale symbolism” and went down a rabbit hole of websites and articles. I learned a lot about their family structures, their intelligence, and how different cultures view them. Some see them as symbols of strength and power, others as guardians of the ocean, and still others as representations of family and community.
Then I decided to get a little more…active. I mean, I couldn’t exactly go swimming with orcas (though that would be AMAZING!), so I opted for the next best thing: meditation.
- I found a quiet spot in my apartment.
- I lit a candle (because why not?).
- I put on some ocean sounds. I found some recording on my phone.
- Then closed my eyes and just…breathed.
I tried to picture an orca in my mind, swimming gracefully through the water.I tried to feel its power, its intelligence, its connection to its family.
Honestly, the first few times, my mind just wandered. I kept thinking about my to-do list, what I was going to have for dinner, and that weird noise my fridge makes. But I kept at it.And slowly, I started to feel…something. A sense of calm, a feeling of connection, maybe even a little bit of that orca power!
I also started journaling about my experiences. I wrote down any dreams I had about orcas, any random thoughts that popped into my head, and any feelings I had during my meditations. It was messy and rambling, but it helped me to process everything.
It’s still early days, and I’m definitely no expert. But I’m feeling more connected to this whole orca thing than I ever thought I would. It’s like I’m tapping into a different part of myself, a part that’s more intuitive, more connected to nature, and more aware of the power of family and community. Maybe that is not true, but I feel good.
So, yeah, that’s my orca spirit animal journey so far. I Will keep exploring and see where it takes me!
