meditation might be best though. don't get discouraged if nothing happens after your first try.
you could try thinking about it, is there an animal you love? say it's cats, meditate thinking about cats, or holding a picture of a cat and see what happens. or think about an animal that always seems to show up, and/or seems to act strangely around you. with me, it's bears, i've grew up on my family farm and there was about 60 acres of forest i use to explore all the time. i've come across bears before [only a handful of times] and for whatever reason, they look at me and walk away. i don't suggest you seek out a wolf or a lion to test if they're your spirit animal, i'm using it as an example. say birds seem to sit close to you, or dogs don't bark at you normally.
in native culture they'd go on spirit quests, sundance, or go to a sweat lodge [all i only recommend you doing with a trained professional, and your parents permission if you're under 18 as they can be dangerous] these will put your body in a state where people typically see visions and your spirit animal will appear. though, personally, i'd do the meditation some more, it's far safer. might take longer, but you shouldn't rush these things. try meditating outside, easier to connect with nature.
