Dear Universe: I am grateful for the gifts you have already bestowed upon me. I am now open to receive peace, joy, and love. You have my eternal gratitude.
In response to Raylene’s comment: Thanks for the invite and the pet name? Interesting.
Hi Raylene, I had a dream yesterday about a B.C. First Nations shamanic person appearing to me and entrusting me with a beautiful picture drawing of a black bear. She told me to “spread the word” to others about the black bear. Any ideas on shamanism, or what relevance there may be in this dream? AnnieB
Dear Raylene, Thank you for your post on my thread about how to develop trust in my Inner Wisdom. It is so beautiful. I will definitely check out the links you so thoughtfully provided. Re: my dream — interesting that you mentioned that the black bear is in danger of extinction. That exact message seemed to be implied in my dream. Are you aware of any legends or myths about the black bear from your Native culture? I am interested in Native spirituality, but have not yet researched much at all about it. There’s so much learning to do!!! And… I love every minute of it! Many Blessings and Lots of Hugs! AnnieB PS. What part of B.C. are you from? I guess your whole area is buzzing with Olympian energy!
Hi Raylene, Thanks for being a friend. I am sooo in need of this kind of support. Years ago,I used positive affirmations with amazing results. Then somehow I was overwhelmed by life events and sent me down a long long path of negativity and depression. I am beginning again! The last two days have been really challenging, but this time I am not getting caught up in it.

Dear Raylene,
Thank you for your response.
I did manage to read up a bit about the symbolism of the Black Bear in First Nations mythology and guess what - one of the symbols of the Black Bear is the subconscious, of going within to find the answers (aka- trusting your Inner Wisdom!) How’s that for synchronicity!
The Spirit Bear IS a black bear with a recessive gene. About one in ten black bears are born white and they have a very special meaning in Native mythology, hence the name, Spirit Bear.
One thing I do want to mention. After having that dream I felt a sense of inner calm and of being protected that has been staying with me ever since.
Thanks for sharing about your Native heritage. I would love to know more about your customs and traditions.
Sending lots of love, “Bear” hugs and kisses your way!

Dear Raylene,
Thank you for writing to me.
Now it’s my turn to apologize for not responding sooner.
I had a very busy time work-wise these past few weeks, and I also experienced a bit of a set-back, or a period of tribulation in this process called life!
I’m back on track now, doing affirmations and trying to hone some Meridian Tapping techniques. I listened to some of the broadcasts during the World Tapping Summit and found them to be very powerful.
Hope all is well with you . I believe you mentioned you would be going to Vancouver sometime soon — have a happy time there! The city is probably covered in spring blossoms at this time!

PS. My very early crocuses burst into bloom today! I was so very pleasntly surprised. I think this is the earliest they’ve ever flowered.
Hi Raylene! I hope you are enjoying your day. You came in to my mind a few days ago before I posted the thread about: “what is your inner being telling you. ” I want to tell you I understand very well what you are going through I have gone through some heartache also. But if it wasn’t Working out you already knew what had to be done. It is painful but I want to tell you that some day that one special person will show up in your life! But for now take time for yourself! Forget the past and love yourself! Pray,read the good book( the Bible) talk it out (bmindful is a good place to express your thoughts) Don’t let depression take up space in your mind & in your life! You are strong !Say it:”I am strong depression & sadness has no place in my life I am happy.” I will keep you in my prayers like I do the bmindful community.Stay strong & full of joy. God bless : ) (( hugs))
