The platypus is a semi-aquatic mammal that is a unique species and has a quirky look indeed. It is duck-billed, has a beaver-like tail, lays eggs, has otter-like fur and webbed feet like a duck. The platypus is only found in eastern Australia in small rivers, ponds, and streams within the states of Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, and Tasmania.
Platypus Totem Animal Meaning
The Platypus totem asks you to embrace all of who you are, not to shy away from any part of you. Learn to love yourself wholeheartedly even with all the imperfections. Strive to be the best of yourself you can possibly be. Take a journey with Platypus into the Dreamtime.
A platypus’s bill is comprised of thousands of cells that give it a sort of sixth sense, allowing them to detect the electric fields generated by all living things (chi-aura). It’s so sensitive that the platypus can hunt with its eyes, ears, and nose all closed, relying entirely on the bill’s electrolocation system.
Platypuses’ spirit totem message is to rely on your feelings learning to trust them. We don’t always have to see things with our eyes nor be totally conscious of them to know they are there. If we are tuned in to all things around us we feel them first before seeing them.
Closing off our physical senses heightens the spiritual psychic senses of higher consciousness. This is called meditation. The platypus totem animal teaches us to rely more on our intuition and pay more attention to our feelings.
Learning to trust ourselves and respecting our own emotions as alarms to alert us, to feel, to sense, and to communicate only love. The positive platypus is a powerful healer once grown to its full potential. Able to heal not only the physical but the mental too.
Shadow Side
One is low on vibrational energy and breeds negativity as a passion often called a toxic person. Will sometimes have the platypus as a spiritual guide to show them that there is something they are not seeing clearly. This is usually towards themselves. It is as though their eyes ears and nose have all been blocked with toxicity.
They only see the negative, they only hear and spread the feelings and words of hate and mistrust. If a platypus has come into your life you are one of these people or dealing with one of these people or you are the positive growing loving striving platypus totem in angelic-like forwarding motion. You choose. © from Psychic Medium Ian Scott
