Spring is coming and bears are about to start emerging from their winter nap. I wonder when I will have my first encounter of the season? Preferably from a nice distance! This painting represent the bears emmerging from their rest back in to our lives. When Bear as a Spirit Animal comes to stand beside you, there's the assurance of renewed power and courage. Whatever adversity you face, Bear holds you firm and keeps you grounded until hardships pass.
Afterward, Bear won't simply disappear but rather remains in your awareness, facilitating healing in body, mind, and spirit. See, Bears are among the ultimate protectors. While many in the animal kingdom willingly give up their lives to protect their young, Few are as fearless as Bear. Once that kind of bravery takes root in your soul, it will forever be there.
