Journey with Animals
 
Do you have an issue that needs to focus on an animal in
your life? Does your heart truly yearn to understand
what your pet may need for a healthier, happier, more
fulfilling life? Is there something you long to know
about how to peacefully co-exist with a particular kind
of bird or animal in your yard, your neighborhood, the
community or wider environment? The Animal Journey
gently guides you to easily access your body’s own
wisdom, beyond mind-talk, where you easily connect with
the essential nature of the animal. In the vast space
within you, where answers and solutions are ever
available, the animal or bird is given voice.
I invite you to explore the Animal Journey. You may be
surprised by what you discover! From personal
experience, I believe animals are here to help us awaken
to our true nature. When we are open and willing to pay
attention, we recognize their depth of caring, patience,
wisdom, and yearning for humankind to wake up to what
animals can teach us, as humans who underestimate their
capacities.
 Experience with Mother Bear on
Golden Earth Center’s 22 Acres:
Some time ago I was considering whether or not to
continue attending and giving considerable support to a
particular retreat located some distance away. On a
meditation walk, with this question foremost in my
heart, I entered Fir Grove, isolated far from human
habitation. Suddenly, I saw a very large bear cub
running South of me, perhaps 50 feet away. Instantly
stopping, my body alert, I opened to the exquisite
beauty of the cub, with the sun’s morning rays filtering
through the trees, highlighting it’s shimmering coat as it
disappeared amidst the foliage. Drinking in the joy of
this experience, I stood for minutes, in wonder. To my
surprise, I then noticed a much larger shape...Mother
Bear in profile...perhaps 60 feet directly below & East
of me. From where had she come? Surely I would have
noticed her before now, as the trees were quite small
here. In what seemed a deliberate manner, Mother Bear
turned and began weaving slowly through the
firs...precisely in my direction! On red alert, my
thinking mind would have me immediately backing uphill
from where I had entered Fir Grove. However, some deeper
part of me - a place of “inner knowing” - seemed to
sense that this was an experience I was meant to have.
Standing rooted to the spot, I chose to surrender the
part that felt fear for my very life. This surrender to
Source seemed to create an expansive inner space
allowing me to shine out love for Mother Bear who
continued advancing towards me, in seeming slow motion.
Softly letting her know of my love, I welcomed her and
her cub into Fir Grove. She was now about 15 feet before
me. I said aloud, “Mother Bear, I know you are here to
serve me, with love.” With this, she stopped, held up
her paw, and lifting her head, looked at me several
times as I gazed directly at her, for what seemed an
eternal time. Then slowly turning, she walked North,
stopped and looked back at me. Circling West, she paused
and looked long once more. At that point, my legs began
backing up in the direction opposite from her, until she
was no longer visible.
Amazed by this & still unsure of whether or not to
attend the other retreat, that night I had a dream.
Standing as tall as a giant grizzly, Mother Bear came
clearly before me and simply said: “Nurture yourself.”
In the following two days, during an Animal Journey,
this became even more clear. Though one part of me
wanted to support the other retreat that I’d been
involved with over the past 10 years, a higher truth
seemed to be that it was now high time for me to
“nurture myself”. It was clear that I was to focus on
Golden Earth Center, in my Life’s Purpose as a “beacon
of love”. Its vision is to inspire others, as humanity
opens into an expanded consciousness of WHO we are, and
our unique, individual purposes for living on Earth at
this particular time. Called by varying names, the
Hopi’s see it as “The Fifth World of Peace and
Enlightenment”. Ascended Masters call it the Permanent
Golden Age, while other groups refer to it as the
Aquarian Age, the New Age, or the New Millennium.
