Armadillo Totem



Armadillo
Boundaries, Protection, Empathy
 The armadillo will roll itself into a ball in order to defend itself, It becomes completely armoured against attack. This teaches us how to consciously define our own emotional and physical boundaries.If circumstances dictate a defensive stance, the armadillo encourages us to take this position to protect our inner selves.
You can make yourself an energy body shield using Armadillo medicine. Draw a circle on a piece of paper and view it as a medicine shield. In the circle write down all the things that you want to have, experience, and those things that bring you joy. This shield reflects who you are and what you will be on an unconscious level. When you Armadillo comes into your life, it is time to define your space. You may have difficulty saying 'no' and are being taken for granted. You must learn to guard your personal space and allow entry only when you want.
Armadillos love to dig and burrow with their sharp, little claws. This speaks to us symbolically about searching, discovering, and getting to the "root" of the matter. If the armadillo makes an appearance, perhaps it's time to do some research on a project you've been working. Or, maybe it's time to dig under the surface of some questions that have been nagging you. Whether it's launching your own investigation or doing some digging in your family genealogy, the armadillo can help.
