The experience was definitely out of the ordinary, and evoked a sense of mysticism each time I thought about.<br /><br />I will, therefore, continue to think about that vision (because that is what it seemed like, it had such a surreal quality about it) and frame it as a healing vision with my bear spirit guide.<br /><br />What a wonderful gift your insights are!<br />Hugs,<br />DianeDiane Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600107521265053816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9168058613104710755.post-37247781849785798052009-10-02T13:48:05.724-07:002009-10-02T13:48:05.724-07:00I love the way that you describe your feelings abo...I love the way that you describe your feelings about the bear...the myterious, dark, magical presence of a often feared and powerful creature. Have you thought about this encounter as being a sign?? Just wondering because the imagery seems SO powerful...some tidbits I got off the internet:<br />The bear as power animal is intuitive and can often manifest healing. Imagine a bear hug. The all encompassing strength of a bear animal familiar is a safe and reassuring environment for restoration of both body and spirit. The bear spirit guide thus helps his shaman companion to heal mental, physical and spiritual wounds with intuition and self-assured courage. <br />The bear is a symbol of invincibility, offering a secure refuge for those who enjoy the company of a totem bear spirit guide. The Shaman of bear power animal has a determined ally in spiritual work, loyal and utterly dependable. <br />The bear is an introspective creature, independent and apparently aloof. He has with little need for fraternity, rather he is self-contained and strong-willed. A Bear spirit guide is of great support and comfort to those who crave human company simply for personal reassurance rather than for the simple pleasure of being with friends. He makes lonely periods of life far easier, and can help the Shaman to work in isolation to gain deep insights. <br />The bear represents female energies, hibernating to reconnect with the earth each year, and emerging with answers to spiritual dilemmas. Those with a bear spirit guide can harness this natural connection with the earth to seek insights within.Amy Burnhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12462781225114024974noreply@blogger.com
