Look around, they are already with you. Is your room full of butterflies? or kittens? Do you think that those paintings of wolves are AWESOME or how about dolphins? Are you a cat person, a dog person, a bird person, an iguana person? You and a totem animal are kindred spirits and you find each other in a natural way. If you just can't help yourself and HAVE to buy that cute little owl figurine, etc then you can see it. Totem animals come to us in life and in dreams, spnding hours trying hard to meditate about it will not help, you will end up pondering the mysteries of the texture on your wall. Instead of meditating, try walking around your house, look at you decorations, your books, your videos, I bet you will find what you have been searching for.

If you're looking for spirit guides, then you usually should do a meditation for one, you can find stuff on how to do one in Shaman books and guides. If you're looking for the kinds of totems you can carry around, that's where you just go for a walk and if a particular item "jumps out at you" (not literally, "catches your eye") and feels like it has power to you, then you use it. Be careful in choosing feathers in this day and age, at random, due to diseases birds are carrying... use common sense and have at it.

Unfortunately that is something that you have to find for yourself. Be more observant and aware of things around you. Keep a journal and write down your "encounters" with nature, both in real life and in the dream world. Look for patterns. Fasting and meditating out in nature may help.

You have to go on a vision quest to know what your totem is.

Don't look. You'll know them when you see them.
