This little stone bear randomly came with a book on Spirit Animals. It didn’t seem like bear was right for me until I read its meaning. My primary fear has always been a security fear. The bear is my protector. I can relax knowing she is looking out for me.
The bear is associated with the root chakra. During my years of teaching Yoga, I learned that people tend to carry tension in their jaw, neck, shoulders or hips. It is hips for me so the bear and her influence on the root chakra protect my emotional, spiritual and physical health.
Spirit Animal Bear
Protection
Security
Respected boundaries
around a warm den.
Open my root wheel
emotional and spiritual self
instincts, intuition alert and alive.
Safe place to love fiercely.
Safe place to hibernate
to rest and rejuvenate.
Ever the omnivore
round and adaptive
hungry for life and love.
I rest in her defenses
open my body
open my present senses
grounded
needs met – comfort, safety, belonging
making way for playfulness and creativity.
