The power of ant medicine is teamwork.

The ant is a hard-working insect and thus, this spirit guide is related to work, persistence, and achieving goals.

Each ant will do its part to ensure the survival and health of the whole colony, regardless of the role it has been assigned. If ant has to fight, it will; if ant has to dig tunnels, it will; if ant has to carry leaves for miles, it will, all for the good of the community.

Because ants are mostly social insects, having an ant as a spirit guide can indicate a need to process how one works with others – usually in a career environment. This can relate to interacting with superiors, co-workers, or prospective employers.

Ants possess a collective mentality. They normally build a community. This spirit guide demonstrates that in every community each ant knows its own role.

Each one performs its tasks and chores with utmost dignity so the whole community can thrive and sustain each other. Ants are persistent and diligent at their work.

The ant should be consulted when the subject needs motivation or some direction at work. All ants except the queen and the drones that care for the pupa (babies), work collecting food and protecting its colony.

An ant can carry a breadcrumb for miles with extreme endurance. They can excavate earth, fight battles, or cross any hurdles that will stand in the way of their goals. They also set remarkable goals for teamwork and cooperation.

Social orders and divisions of labor prevail in ant society. Meanwhile, the average ant will completely accept stratification within their society. These traits show a correlation to one’s own work ethic and can indicates a strength that needs to be developed in this area.

Consider this aspect if you are the boss, starting your own business, or are “in charge” in the work place.

Having an ant as one’s animal totem shows industrious features. It also points towards one’s ability to co-operate with others and working for the better of society. This can represent a work – life balance, social interaction, or simply working well with others.

People having characteristics of an ant tend to be determined; they achieve their goals with patience and insistence. These attributes are not only for those that have an ant totem but a must have trait in order to nurture other human beings.

Being at one with an ant is like being the guru of patience. One has to have a deep understanding of the members of a system, accept their worthiness and move ahead to make his/her own contribution. This perception is the key to achieve equity in any civilization at any point of time.

Observing and implying the collective nature of ants will certainly bring peace and prosperity to the subject.  Taking actions at the micro level with honesty and motivation will also bring changes to macro levels.
