I found my totem during an unintentional meditation. I was riding the bus to work one night. I was looking up at the full moon.
The next thing I know I am in the wilderness looking up at a full moon. My senses are keener than I have ever known them to be. I can feel the night in a way that I've never felt it before. I can see further and clearer than I have ever seen. I can hear the rippling of a stream that I know is further away than I should be able to hear. I can smell my prey, and can gage the distance to the scent.
The details of that meditation are quite gruesome. But, the point is that I was more aware of myself than I have ever been. I knew, without a doubt, that I was a tiger.
Ever since that night, I have seen and felt that tiger in everything that I do. If I am having a nightmare, I can conjure it to protect me. If I am under spiritual attack, it will often attack my attacker before I have a chance to respond.
It has also been known to manifest itself during more basic physical encounters. Whenever I am about to enter a physical altercation, I growl (then watch out). I have also been known to act in a more feline manner when having sex (oddly that has never sparked a complaint).
I say all of this to point out that I wasn't meditating with the purpose of contacting my (animal spirit). Instead, I was focusing on a part of nature that I know I have a connection with (the moon). My spirit animal (totem) also has a connection with that part of nature. Perhaps, that is a pathway that can help you find what you are looking for.
