Today, Bear reinforces Turtle's message that we are never alone. We are reminded that we all have access to guides, ancestors, guardian angels and teachers. Through dreams, meditation, journaling and listening to our own inner knowing, we can access guidance and answers from the Universe. Today would be a wonderful day to spend some time in meditation or quiet contemplation. If you feel comfortable, ask that you be allowed to meet your guardians and guides on the other side. Allow yourself to be surrounded by their unconditional love and acceptance. Realize that they love and care for you just as much if you have made mistakes or fallen short. Learn to see yourself through their loving eyes and release the need to be perfect. Realize that your best will always be good enough.~*~*~
The strength of Bear medicine is the power of introspection. It lies in the West on the great medicine wheel of life. In the winter, when the Ice Queen reigns and the face of death is upon the Earth, Bear enters the cave to hibernate, to digest the year's experience. It is said that our goals reside in the West also. To accomplish the dreams that we carry, the art of introspection is necessary.
To become like Bear and enter the safety of the cave, we must attune ourselves to the energies of the Eternal Mother and receive nourishment from the Great Void. The Void is the place where all solutions and answers live in harmony with the questions that fill our realities. If we choose to believe that there are many questions to life, we must also believe that the answers to these questions reside within us. Each and every being has the capacity to quiet the mind, enter the silence, and KNOW.
Many tribes have called the space of inner-knowing the Dream Lodge. This is where the death of the illusion of physical reality overlays the expansiveness of eternity. It is in the Dream Lodge that our ancestors sit in Council and advise us regarding alternative pathways that lead to our goals. This is the power of Bear.
For eons, all seekers of the Dreamtime and of visions have walked the path of silence, calming the internal chatter, reaching the place or rites of passage - the cave. From the cave of Bear, you find the pathway to the Dream Lodge and the other levels of imagination and consciousness. In choosing Bear, the power of knowing has invited you to enter the silence and become acquainted with the Dream lodge so that your goals may become concrete realities. This is the strength of Bear.
