We can get extraordinary guidance by paying attention to our environment. Symbolic meanings from nature are everywhere, and it’s a cool place to look for answers. Nature speaks a symbolic language. We can tap that language and if we are observant, we can start getting meanings from nature. When we need direction or inspiration, nature is the perfect place to peek into for figuring out our next move in life.
Tapping Into Symbolism and Getting Meanings from Nature
Table of Contents
There is no greater or more diverse source for symbolic meanings than what can be derived from nature. Our natural environment is the symbolic “jackpot” that holds deeper meaning about who we are and where we are headed on our life Path.
Further, symbolic meanings in nature are not limited to the flora and fauna of our earth (although, messages from these sources will be most predominant).
Our knowing is never limited; that means we can span our awareness out into the cosmos to derive deeper meanings too. I’ve kicked off this post with some pretty power-packed statements that beg these questions:
Frequently Asked Questions About Nature and Symbolism
Because it is inclusive. Our Universal ecosystem is a dynamic web of life. Each aspect of its existence is interconnected. Everything is included. The receipt of divine messages and oracular information also works from the premise of inter-connectivity. All information runs on a network, and nature is the most clean, efficient and diverse network through which information is transported to our awareness.
Perhaps the best advice nature provides is how to deal with transition. Let’s face it, the only guarantee we have in this life is change. Nature is phenomenal proof of that, and nature is hugely symbolic of change. That’s why nature is a great place to seek guidance during times of transition. More often than not, we seek answers when we are going through change, or contemplating making a change. Nature is the ideal example of how to manage change in healthy, unique ways.
Through unique identity. Everything in our natural Universe resonates with its own special energetic identity. Animals have varying energetic personalities. Plants hum with specialized wisdom too. Air, earth, water, fire – the building blocks of Terra Mater (mother earth) all sparkle with their own character. Each aspect of nature carries a hallmark trait. Everything is unified, but the individuality of expression sets each feature in nature apart. These features are where we find symbolic meaning.
Nature is uniquely positioned to serve as a magnificent oracle due to the quality of interconnectivity and individual expression I mentioned earlier. Through soft rumination and meditation, we can plug ourselves into the broader whole of nature. That gets us into the “network.” Once we are there, we can begin to explore the individual hallmarks unique to each facet of nature. First, we plug into nature as a whole, then we find meaning in various outlets (animals, plants, rivers, etc).
“Nature is always speaking to us.
Its language is symbolic.”

To be sure, it takes a bit of practice and some patience. Obtaining messages from nature is also a two-way street. We must meet her on her own turf. This takes a thoughtful countenance as well as deep-rooted honor and awe for the natural realms.
This is just a taste of the possibilities our environment proposes to our evolutionary awareness. Stay connected with me here as I continue writing about natural symbolism -together we’ll explore new heights of profound understanding.

Take Away Tips About Symbolic Meanings from Nature
Now that we’ve asked and answered a few keen points about nature and symbolism, let’s wrap it up with some take-away tips about tapping into symbolic meanings from nature. Here are a few symbolic suggestions that nature is always posing to us and messages that we would behoove us all to listen to.
Nature Has Its Own Language (and it is symbolic)
Nature asks us to be multi-lingual. Why because nature speaks a special language. That language is symbolic. From grass to groundhogs, nature offers us a reflection of how to live in the form of metaphor – which is symbolic. All we’ve got to do is get tuned in, and interpret nature’s language!
Advice is Always Available from Nature
Nature is all in, always connected, and always switched on. Mother Nature never takes a break. That means guidance from nature is always accessible. The key is getting in sync with nature’s rhythm, getting quiet, paying attention and interpreting the signs nature so generously shares.
“Transition” is Nature’s Middle Name
Nature reminds us of that old adage, “it is what it is (until it isn’t).” The only guarantee we have in this life is change. Nature is phenomenal proof of that. That’s why nature is a great place to seek guidance. More often than not, we seek answers when we are going through change, or contemplating making a change. Nature is the ideal example of how to manage change in healthy, unique ways.
