Bear reminds you to tap into the part of you that is BIG, lives with gusto! Big power, big strength, huge love. Bear sees itself as powerful, just and fair-minded. Its desire is to empower and protect others. What you see is what you get.
Your inner Bear has plans that include big impact – more than can be done alone. Feel that part within that is big and strong. You fill all your space and move forcefully, sometimes leaving a trail of broken branches and claw marks. There’s no holding you back, especially if your cubs need protecting!
All parts of Bear are huge, including a huge heart. In loving and protecting others so generously, allow their love in through exploring and expressing your own vulnerable underbelly.
Roar when you need to, say what you need to say. Then use all your senses to check in with those around you – directly and out loud – and listen to the shifts in how people receive you and your ideas. You don’t need to go it alone.
The inner Bear is great at tackling difficult problems and getting in action. Just remember not to stalk the salmon through the forest. Go to the river and let them come to you. Forests are for berry hunting and slow, gentle ambling to get your needs met.
Bear is fierce and brave and decisive. As you look at your topic through Bear’s eyes:
- Where is it time to stand in your full divine power?Where in this topic can you extend your protection to others with compassion?
- Have you left your tender side behind? If so, what are you really protecting? And beneath that, what part of yourself are you protecting?
- Are you angry about a betrayal or an intrusion in your territory? Let that fuel clearer boundaries without injury.
