As a symbol of supernatural powers, the BAT spirit animal reminds you that there is far more going on than what many people experience in their busy daily lives.
The first time I recall seeing a bat was back in 2006 on PhiPhi Island in Thailand. They were so cute. I saw many since then and more recently this summer in my bedroom in South West of France and every night in a row in December while in Sri Lanka. I always observe in more depth when those phenomenals are not familiar.
Bat symbolism and meanings include community, longevity, manoeuvrability, balance, good fortune, evolution, and supernatural powers.
As a symbol of longevity, the bat reminds you that your best years are ahead of you. Indeed, bat people are the types who get better with age.
As a symbol for manoeuvrability, the bat reminds you to be flexible and quick on your feet. You may feel like you face more challenges and obstacles than others do – even like that the deck is stacked against you. The bat is a reminder that it’s not a matter of more problems, more obstacles, or even more stress, it’s how you deal with them.
A willingness on your part to help is your way of keeping things in balance. This selflessness means you are in-tune with the positive forces of the Universe. Likewise, the bat may also be reminding you to keep your own life in balance.
If a bat or bats come into your life, view it as a positive sign of good fortune coming your way.
Sometimes the biggest challenges and the most painful heartaches are our best learning experiences. The bat says: Keep moving forward – because you are learning to fly.
Because of their sensory powers and the fact that they are mainly nocturnal, the bat has long been associated with the supernatural world. As a flying animal, the bat is associated with idea of astral traveling – when the soul temporarily leaves the body and flies before returning. It can be a sign to tune into your intuition and spirit guides more. We all have this capability.
