This is the Medicine of Bear. Bear is very strong. If you are feeling weak, or need and impressive, authoritative presence, call upon the power of bear to aid you. Bear teaches us that healing begins with ourselves.
Bears spend a good portion of each year in hibernation.
This gives their bodies time to heal. In some species the kidneys shut down. This gives the bear time to heal and waste no precious reserves. Bear reminds us to take time out for ourselves. If bear has lumbered into your life, it is certain that you have the gift of insight, healing, and dreams.
