ANIMAL MEDICINE

by: Soaring Eagle

Every Native American raised up in the traditional belief system knows and understands the importance of animal medicine. If one is attentive enough much can be learned from the four leggeds. We believe that every animal represents a certain behavior, and brings with it a quality. Animal medicine is so important that we even use it in our spiritual ceremonies .

What we learn from the animals is priceless we learn about movement and balance,we can learn about different ways of structuring our life how to live together in the beauty of peace and harmony.We are taught from a very young age about the importance of respecting the four leggeds as they also help to complete the sacred circle of life with heartfelt energies that move through us. Like we humans they are a part of the connection of all of the kingdoms.

When we are in need of help we are to call upon the animal spirit need we ask to be drawn into complete harmony with the strength and quality of that animals essence. Only then can we gain understanding and healing if we approach it with humility , openness and intuitiveness. It is all apart of the Great Mystery and honoring every living thing ,as we walk the good red road.
