Animal Spirit Guide Message for Spring

I love to connect to animal guides by painting their message with oil on canvas.

For this painting, Squirrel arrived with a joyful flurry of energy and insight.

The presence of Squirrel brought a lightness, a spark of renewal, and a reminder to trust the process of preparation. They are resourceful, clever, and full of vitality.

Message from Squirrel:

Spring is a season of awakening. Spring is a time to gather your energy, focus your intentions, and leap into life with curiosity and joy. During spring we are waking up from winter.

Squirrel reminds us that the seeds we planted in the quiet of winter are beginning to sprout, both literally and metaphorically.

Squirrel reminds us that now is the time to organize your thoughts, sort through your dreams, and prioritize what matters most. Just like Squirrel prepares for the future by gathering food, you are invited to prepare for your own growth. What tools, resources, or practices do you need to gather now so that you can move forward with confidence during the summer?

There is wisdom in play. Squirrel is not only a planner, but a dancer, leaping from branch to branch, chasing the wind, delighting in the moment. Let joy guide you. Let movement clear out the stagnant energy of winter.

Do not worry if you don’t feel fully ready. Spring is a dance of unfolding, not a race to the finish. Be curious. Be adaptable. If a path is blocked, trust that there’s another way through. Your instincts are sharper than you think.

Where in your life are you holding back out of fear of failure? Squirrel encourages you to try anyway. The leap doesn’t have to be perfect. What matters is that you begin.

As the earth warms and the light returns, trust in your own natural rhythm. Celebrate your growth, no matter how small.
