Awaken the Power of the Unconscious

Awaken the Power of the Unconscious

This mandala is representative of the medicine of BEAR, which for Native American peoples, is considered (along with the wolf) as one of the last true symbols of the primal, natural world, and many ecologists believe that how humans respond and protect their lands and their future will be the most honest depiction of how serious humanity is about preservation of our environment and the natural resources within it. Also, the bear is considered kin to himans, because, like birds, it can stand and walk upon two legs.
Bear teaches us to go within and awaken the potentials inherent and bring them to the world and apply them. Introspection that makes accomplishing goals and dreams that we carry come to fruition. Becoming like BEAR and entering the safety of the womb-cave, we must attune ourselves to the energies of the Eternal Mother (Earth), and receive nourishment from the Great Void (unconscious/universe), where all solutions and answers live in harmony with the questions that fill our realities.
Each and every being has the capacity to quiet the mind, enter the silence and KNOW.
Bear resides in the West of the medicine wheel, symbolic of our intuitive/feminine side or right brain and to hibernate, bear travels within the four lobes where the pineal gland resides (lying just under the pituitary gland, behind the eyes, highly responsive to light waves)also resonating our Crown Chakra, the control center for the effective functioning of our physical, emotional and mental selves.
This also links us to our faith, attitudes, beliefs, values, conscious, courage and humanitarianism. This level and power abandons intellect and EGO to the power of passionate experience and “knowing”.
Bear medicine is ultimately knowing yourself ~ your body, mind and spirit ~ using your strengths to overcome your weaknesses, whilst knowing also that both are necessary in our evolution.

    we had an old dodge tradesman van circa 70’s I think … bought it on the coast of Oregon, drove it Wyoming and back again and even lived in her for a time … we called her Bear (big smile)

  • tkrosevear replied

    thanks sis ~ I’ve kidnapped Vickie (coppertrees) and I’m not giving her back ;) xoxoxox

  • owlspook

    owlspook

    oh no!! that’s not fair!! ... hehe .. well how much room do you have at your place … maybe we all should just come on over and stay for an extended visit (big grin) ... hope you are and know you are having a fantastic time (big smile)

  • tkrosevear replied

    we still got a marshmallow mine and a teepee ;) she says hi xoxoxo

  • owlspook

    owlspook

    Hi Vickie (big smile) ... hmmm think perhaps the teepee would work but only if I had a laptop (big grin) ... they can be quite nice to live in .. better than a van (grin) ... but alas I don’t have a laptop and can’t afford to travel right now (grin) ...

    a marshmallow mine? lol …

  • tkrosevear replied

    we will manifest you affording a visit while Larry & Dawn visit in Oct ;) xoxoxox
