Elephant Meaning and Messages

In the first place, Elephant symbolism reminds us that we must look after ourselves first before we reach out and help others. Therefore this spirit animal teaches that you should take the time to nurture yourself first. In other words, Elephant meaning reminds us that we have the instincts that will lead us where we need to go. This massive mammal will also show which parts of ourselves need nourishment. Perhaps we have isolated ourselves from family and should find our way home.

Alternatively, Elephant symbolism may be letting you know that you have to shift your focus so that you may view the whole picture. In this case, a narrow approach will mean that you will miss something important. Occasionally, the presence of this giant mammal could symbolize that you have to unearth buried memories so that you can release them.

Alternatively, this animal’s introverted character may be a reflection of your personality. In particular, if you see a white pachyderm, then it symbolizes royalty.
