Squirrels print from an original acrylic illustration by Irene Owens, TinyRed.
"When squirrels prepare for the winter, they gather only what they require. This teaches us the importance of letting go/getting rid of unnecessary physical objects, and also negative beliefs, emotions and memories which limit our faith in love and abundance. We need to lighten our load, physically, mentally and emotionally."
...
"Gathering, Activity, Preparedness. The gathering power of Squirrel is a great gift. Squirrel teaches us to conserve our energy for times of need. If your totem is Squirrel or Squirrel has recently entered your life, lighten your load of things that are unnecessary, things that you have gathered in the past and may be cluttering your life: thoughts, worries, and stresses. It teaches us balance within the circle of gathering and giving out."
