Turtle Symbolism & Meaning烏龜?shù)纳袷ヒ饬x
Turtle Spirit moves to an inner drummer that is in no hurry. Seeming to have no worries, Turtle plods along at a pace all Her own. If turtle had a mantra it would be “one small step at a time”. This Spirit Animal truly lives in the moment – taking one after another with simple, innocent acceptance.
烏龜精神對(duì)應(yīng)于一個(gè)內(nèi)在鼓手，那就是不要著急。似乎沒什么可擔(dān)心的，烏龜艱難走著自己的步伐。如果烏龜有一個(gè)咒語，那就是：“一次一小步。”這個(gè)神圣動(dòng)物真正生活在當(dāng)下—簡(jiǎn)單、純真的接受每一時(shí)刻。
This is a powerful lesson for humans who rush about at unhealthy speeds, often missing the mystical gem that is right in front of them, here and now.
對(duì)于以不健康的速度奔跑的人們來說，這是一個(gè)深刻的教訓(xùn)，此時(shí)此刻他們經(jīng)常錯(cuò)過了正前方的神秘寶石。
Turtle’s greatest gift to us is learning to slow down and smell the roses (literally and figuratively). Being a water creature, some of the Turtle’s symbolism and meaning comes from that elemental influence. It is from the water that Turtle gains the attributes of insight and being able to understand and express our deeper emotions.
烏龜帶給我們的最大禮物是學(xué)著慢下來、停下腳步享受生活（字面和寓意）。作為一個(gè)水生物，有一些烏龜?shù)南笳骱x來自于水元素的影響。烏龜正是從水里獲得了洞察力，能夠理解并表達(dá)我們內(nèi)心深處的情感。
In numerous myths and religions Turtle takes a distinctly noticeable spot as representing resoluteness and peace. Cosmological traditions speak of a World Turtle that either supports the heavens or transports the Earth safely on Her back.
在眾多神話和宗教中，烏龜最引人注目的一點(diǎn)是代表決斷和平靜。宇宙?zhèn)髡f有一只世界龜，要么支撐著天堂，要么在背上安全運(yùn)載著整個(gè)地球。
Additionally, Turtle carries its ‘home’ on its back. They are one as the Turtle cannot leave its shell. In this, Turtle symbolizes that our earthly body is our home – for now. It can protect and shelter you, so take good care of it.
另外，烏龜背著它的家。它們是一體的，因?yàn)闉觚旊x不開它的殼。烏龜意味著現(xiàn)在我們的地球身體就是我們的家，它可以保護(hù)庇佑你，因此好好愛護(hù)它。
Some of the Deities associated with Turtle Spirit include Ea, the Mesopotamian God of wisdom and magic who lives under the ocean, Venus and Aphrodite – goddesses of love and fertility (Greco-Roman), Vishnu who has a giant turtle avatar and Set the Egyptian God of the underworld.
和烏龜相關(guān)的神靈有Ea，它是生活在海洋中的智慧和魔法之美索不達(dá)米亞神；金星和愛神，象征愛情和生育的神；毗濕奴人，有一個(gè)巨大的烏龜頭像和套陰間神。
Overall Turtle medicine reminds us that strength and determination are the keys to overcoming our obstacles. Take your time before you move – don’t go jumping out of your shell right into danger.
所有龜藥在提醒我們力量和決心是克服困難的關(guān)鍵。在行動(dòng)之前慢慢來，不要從殼里跳出來落入危險(xiǎn)之中。
Turtle Spirit Animal神圣動(dòng)物烏龜
When Turtle comes to you as a Spirit Animal it bears the message of staying true to your path and being at peace with your choices. This may also be a sign that you are carrying too much weight on your shoulders. You cannot fix anything if you’re overwhelmed. Put down negative things that hold your back, go into your shell and meditate. Get grounded, embrace your emotional power and reclaim your serenity.
當(dāng)烏龜作為神圣動(dòng)物來到你身邊，它承載的信息是：忠于自己的道路，平和接受你的選擇。這也可能是一個(gè)跡象：你的肩上背負(fù)得太多。如果你被重?fù)?dān)淹沒，你什么也解決不了。放下困住你的負(fù)面信息，退回到殼里冥想，接地，擁抱你的情感力量，并收回寧靜。
Also, Turtle might appear as your Spirit Animal during times when it seems as though your world is topsy turvy.
烏龜也可能作為神圣動(dòng)物出現(xiàn)在你的世界看似顛倒的時(shí)候。
Many mistakenly believe Turtles cannot right themselves when they’re flipped over on their back. But this is not always true. Turtles have strong necks and can flip themselves over. In this, Turtle can come to you as a reminder to use your own head. You are powerful enough to right yourself, even when others don’t believe you can.
許多人錯(cuò)誤的認(rèn)為：烏龜不能扶正自己當(dāng)它們被后背被翻轉(zhuǎn)著地時(shí)。但是這并不總是真的。烏龜有強(qiáng)壯的脖子可以自己翻轉(zhuǎn)過來。這一點(diǎn)上，烏龜是來提醒你用自己的頭腦，你足夠強(qiáng)大來矯正自己，即使別人并不相信你能。
Turtle Totem Animal烏龜圖騰
Those born with Turtle as a totem animal typically live a long life. You pace yourself, savoring the moment to moment blessings. Having a safe haven is very important for Turtle people, so choose your shell wisely. Know when to retreat for your own safety or peace of mind. As one of the first animals on the Earth, Turtle Totem has the ability to express abundant wisdom and dig deep into the Greater Mysteries.
出生以烏龜為圖騰的人一般壽命長(zhǎng)。你調(diào)整自己的步伐，享受瞬間的幸福。有一個(gè)安全的港灣對(duì)烏龜人很重要，因此請(qǐng)明智選擇你的殼。知道何時(shí)退回安全/平靜的心靈。作為地球的第一批動(dòng)物之一，烏龜圖騰擁有表達(dá)豐富的智慧和深入挖掘更大奧秘的能力。
The calmer speed of Turtle’s life doesn’t mean its boring. If anything Turtle is dynamic, particularly when connecting with water. This fills you and recharges those batteries that even the most metered Turtle can burn out.
龜速生活并不意味著無聊。如果烏龜有活力，那一定是它于水相連時(shí)。這會(huì)滿足你，充滿這些電池，即使計(jì)量最大的烏龜會(huì)耗盡它自己。
