Gazelle Spiritual Meaning

A Gazelle is part of the antelope species.

This is a rather uncommon animal totem. If you have seen a Gazelle then this symbolizes that you require speed in your life. Why? Because the Gazelle is considered to be a swift animals with a run speed of almost sixty miles per hour or ninety seven km/h. To conquer their vulnerability, they tend to be alert to all that happens around them.

Gazelle’s have various characteristic traits that are considered symbolic to humans in real life situations. These include consciousness, swiftness, elegance, beauty, and liveliness. They are able to maneuver in vertical movements and even meander around while they run to escape their predators.

The cheetah is their chief predator - also a fast speed animal. However, they are able to out run the cheetah because of their better movement’s. Cheetah’s usually run in a straight line but the gazelle can move in zigzag’s. This is to avoid the cheetah from catching them. They, however, have a tendency of turning around to find out if their predator is almost catching up with them. When they do this, it gives the cheetah a chance to get to kill them.

So, from a spiritual perspective, what can we learn from this kind of behavior? In life, we go through many challenges and difficulties that may overwhelm us. Some people tend to run away from reality by avoiding challenges. Such people end up resorting to other things such as drugs, alcohol, overeating, addiction, and overindulgence among other things, in essence -they run away from problems. There is a danger of diverting the attention to other people. Seeing the Gazelle means that one can fail to face challenges and try to get a reasonable, lasting solution. In the long run, the problems catch up with them in one way or the other. They eventually end up with even more problems such as depression, heart disease among other diseases caused by drinking too much alcohol, overeating and other addictions. In many cases, people fail to have great communication. They fail to examine themselves and understand who and what they really are.

Just like the Gazelle, we should be alert to our surroundings and make use of every opportunity available for our safety. In case of any danger, we need to understand any means of saving our lives.

It is also important to acquire skills that can be useful to us in life. To meditate on this animal totem can help us discover and explore our strengths and also overcome our weaknesses. We need to discover insightful skills of solving problems rather than avoiding them. When faced with challenges we end up with perfect solutions that eliminate the problems.
