BEARS -

The Bear is a powerful omnivore that has great senses of hearing and smell, although their eye sight is not as sensitive. The Medicine of the Bear may be considered to be that of Patience and Caretaking as well as the Discovery and the pursuit of ones goals. All Bears are very sensitive to the deeper vibrations of Mother Earth and often hibernate deep inside her in caves. Because of their great sensitivity to the cycles of the seasons on Earthplane, Bear Medicine is much about Cycles and the time to feed and the time to rest. The Bear most often is referred to as the healing Bear and a large part of Bear Medicine is about Healing. Bears have little to fear in the way of enemies except for other bears and man and are great ranging animals that cover a large territory in search of food. Bears are mostly solitary creatures that usually have little to do with others unless in combat or mating although they might hang around together during feeding times as the salmon return to their spawning grounds in certain areas. Bears vary in size and all are able to move with surprising speed and agility over short distances. Bears are also very curious by nature and this has led to a large depletion of the populations by trappers and the like.

The Bear exemplifies great strength and courage and the aboriginal people have always held them in great esteem and high regard as a single swipe of the great claws on the front paws of a Bear has laid open the belly of many large animals including man. The Bear normally is a retiring creature and usually will evade man unless surprised or pressured into a confrontation at which time its courage and resolve is indomitable. The Bear in visions and dreams signifies the need for strength and resolve in the task or direction at hand. The message of the Bear in dreams is also that about patience and waiting for the right time or cycle to embrace change and growth. An approaching Bear will usually bring a tool or element for use and if it is not carrying something it usually means that the tools are already within your understanding. A Bear running or retreating signifies the need for speed in resolution or the need to seek another plan or direction. A Bear at rest or play signifies the need to put in more time experiencing the joy of life and sharing time with family.
