In Indigenous cultures, “bear medicine” symbolizes strength, courage, wisdom, healing, and introspection. It is connected to the bear’s powerful physical presence and its ability to be a great healer, protector, and teacher. Bear medicine encourages individuals to go inward, heal from within, and use their inner strength to face challenges.

Key aspects of bear medicine:

Healing and renewal: The bear is seen as a master healer, associated with restoring harmony and balance, and aiding in emotional and physical recovery. Its ability to hibernate and emerge renewed in the spring represents a cycle of death and rebirth.
Strength and courage: Bear medicine embodies the courage to face adversity, stand up for what is right, and protect one’s community. Leaders with this medicine are said to fight for what is good and true.
Wisdom and introspection: The bear’s solitary nature symbolizes introspection, guiding people to look inward for answers and tap into their own healing abilities through deep self-reflection.
Connection to nature: Bears are deeply connected to the earth, and this medicine acts as a link to the earth’s healing powers.
Protection: Bears are often depicted as guardians and protectors. Bear claws, for example, were worn for protection and strength.
