Bear
Industrious, instinctive, healing, power, sovereignty, guardian of the world, watcher, courage, will power, self-preservation, introspection, and great strength.
Pragmatic, and methodical the Bear is the one to call when a steady hand is needed. The Bear's practicality and level-headedness makes him/her an excellent business partner. Usually the voice of reason in most scenarios, the Bear is a good balance for Owls. The Bear is also gifted with an enormous heart, and a penchant for generosity. However, one might not know it as the Bear tends to be very modest, and a bit shy. In a loving environment this Native American animal symbol showers love and generosity in return. Further, the Bear has a capacity for patience and temperance, which makes him/her excellent teachers and mentors. Left to his/her own devices the bear can be skeptical, sloth, small-minded and reclusive.
Bear medicine teaches us to go within, in order to digest our experiences and to discover that we contain within ourselves the answers to all of our questions. We are our own best teacher. Then bring what we find within to the surface and share it with others.

XD Afterlife do ALL of the animals fit you?!
And I need your (After or Sky) opinion.
See, before I first entered my spirit world I had this weird vision. One moment I was just sitting on the cough, thinking about school, then the next i'm in some forest. (The same part of the forest in my spirit world that I entered.) And then I saw this shadowy figure. It was big, thick, it was a bear. I couldn't really move, but I tried calling out to it. But the bear just walked a few feet and looked at me. Then the vision cleared.
Perhaps, like said above, it was shy. And perhaps it still is.
Which goes along with my theory.
Perhaps I can't find my spirit animal because I, and it, are quite shy. The same thing happens when I meditate while trying to reach my spirit world....

Not all of them fit me. I'm just a mix of personality flaws characteristics.

Every spirit animal will fit your personality in one way, because each animal has a good-and bad- personality. Just like a person. Some, like your own spirit animal, will have more in common with you than others.
Redstorm, I'm sure it's just shy. Keep trying, I'm sure you'll get it eventually. Don't push yourself, let it come naturally. I think with the bear, you have to let it come to you, just like in school. Let the vision overcome you, try and remember to stay calm, and don't move or make a sound. Just watch your animal, it will come to you when its ready. |
