I received an email from a fellow healer that was very interesting, so I decided to share it. She had a bear on her property this week and felt she received a strong message from it. I lived for quite a long time in bear country and saw them every year. It can be a little unnerving yet awe inspiring.
“Seeing bears may not sound unusual if you live in bear country, and we do, but for us, it was notable. We haven’t had a bear come onto the property in more than 15 years. And what made the visit even more interesting was where it chose to direct its energy.
It went straight for the trash. The thing is… we don’t put food scraps in our trash. Anything edible goes to the chickens or the dog. So, what the bear was rummaging through wasn’t nourishment at all. It was just… trash.
And Bear’s message came through immediately. How often do we do the same? How often do we spend precious life force searching, reaching, consuming… hoping something will satisfy a hunger within us…Only to realize we were rummaging through the energetic equivalent of trash? Things that promise relief, comfort, distraction, validation, or connection…but never truly nourish us.
When we feel depleted, hungry, lonely, overwhelmed, or dysregulated, it becomes easy to reach for what is available instead of what is truly supportive. We consume things that fill space without feeding us.
Scrolling…Noise…Drama…Busyness…Over-giving…Relationships or environments that leave us drained.
Bear medicine reminds us of something important: Just because something is available doesn’t mean it is nourishing. And searching in the wrong places’ costs energy. So, I want to ask you these questions:
How are you nourishing yourself right now?
Where is your energy going?
What are you consuming physically, emotionally, energetically, spiritually?
What is truly feeding you… and what is merely filling space?
Real nourishment often feels quieter than the things competing for our attention.
Rest…Stillness…Nature…Boundaries…Presence…Breath…Meaningful connection.
Bear medicine teaches us about wise use of energy, healthy boundaries, deep restoration, and discernment. Be mindful of where you forage. Not everything that calls for your attention deserves your energy. Choose what truly nourishes you.”
You were never meant to forage alone. Through my multidimensional sound sensory experiences, I create spaces that offer something increasingly rare and deeply needed: true nourishment, meaningful connection, and grounded support.
