Shamanism is an ancient spiritual and healing tradition rooted in nature. It focuses on the health of the individual, as well as the entire community.
Spirit animals, or totems, are a significant part of Shamanism. Each animal carries a meaningful message for those willing to listen.
Your spirit animal is meant to serve as a guide and bring attention to a part of your life that needs to be explored.
A popular spirit animal is a brown bear which signifies strength and confidence. If this is your spirit animal, you know where you’re headed in life. In some cases, the brown bear plays a mothering role. A protector. A nurturer. You can also be aggressive if you’re in a protective mode, just as a mother bear fiercely protects her cubs.
We thank Elena Harris, Editor of SpiritAnimal.info for the use of the photo of the beautiful brown bear.
