The Turtle

To tribes around the world the turtle represents healing, wisdom, spirituality, health, safety, longevity, protection, poise, patience, stability, wisdom and fertility.

In Hindu philosophy the turtle symbolises the foundation supporting the earth and all its life.

In Indigenous Australian culture the turtle is a favoured food source and therefore appears in totems and in dreamtime stories.

It is these very values and characteristics that are at the core of LifeInBalance. To me personally the turtle shows vulnerability on sand, grace in the water and courage in both.
