Nature Awareness 8/19/2014 - Bear Most bears tend to have periods of hibernation built into their life cycles. If the bear lives in a temperate climate, it is not unusual for the bear to hibernate to some degree during the colder winter months. Going within the earth to den up is a reminder that we all need periods of proper rest and peace in our lives. Going within reminds us also that while in a state of rest, introspection for better self-awareness and growth is highly important. The answers are found inside our own self when we seek. In nature, bears are noted to be excellent mothers and caregivers. Mother bears will fiercely defend and lovingly nurture their young. Some bear moms have even been found to actively adopt bear cubs that are not their own in order to fulfill their maternal roles and appease their instincts. People with bear totems or that are working with bear energy are usually gifted and natural leaders as well as nurturers. They defend their ideas and their groups fearlessly... just like a mother bear with cubs. Introspection is a key component in their building awareness, and it provides insight into their own natures and into the lives of others. Bears are wise that way. Working with bear also provides consistent sparks of creativity that burst to life, most often after periods of serene hibernation. If you feel that bear is speaking to you today, go within your own self to hear what message is being brought forward. Symbolism: nurturing, maternal focus, creativity, timing, preparation, leadership, proper rest, introspection.
