Object or Symbol
Your symbol is an object that represents the mermaid side of you. It can be anything you want, a necklace, a bracelet, a ring, whatever. It doesn't even have to be an object, it could be water, or rain. Basically, this object is something you can focus on while shifting, and it will help you feel more like a mermaid. If you focus well enough, sometimes when ever you see your trigger object, you may unconsciously start shifting, so be careful! You don't NEED a symbol, but it's nice to have one, and will make you feel more like a mermaid. You can make your own shell necklace if you want! Making your symbol yourself is great because it is personal to you. All you need is a shell, a string and a small drill. You can buy a shell, or find your own. If you find one, sometimes they already have small holes in them, and you won't need a drill. If you find your own shell, make sure you clean it well first! If your shell does not have a hole in it, find the smallest drill bit possible, and drill a tiny hole in your shell. Then, take your string, bring it through the hole, and tie it around your neck. Voila! A shell necklace! Be careful with it though, it can be fragile!
