Hello All
Happy Friday!
Sending BIG, WARM BEAR HUGS TO YOU!!!
Bears are Used by the Divine in so many ways and for so many reasons. Perhaps bears show Up to suggest you stay focused on meditating or staying focused with work. Bears can often show Up when Source would like you enjoying any and all occasions for giving away some bear hugs!
We all have many animal ‘spirits’ that make up our individual animal medicine totems and bears are one of mine. Most of you out there probably have ‘bear’ medicine.
Bears and their symbols have been used by the Divine to speak to me most of my life, whether I knew it or not. The school mascot in my high school was the Ballard Bruin – the bear. Most of us were read to about Goldilocks, her mama bear, papa bear and baby bear.
Teddy bears can seem to be everywhere sometimes. Teddy’s Bears Picnic will bring tears to my eyes even now. And I have a feeling most women that have baby showers receive at least one teddy bear as a gift.
Winnie the Pooh bear . . . going for the honey
Yogi Bear . . . going for the wacky and fun
The Charmin bear . . . going for the softness
As we have said many times in these Godsign messages – multiple 4s around you – 44 or 444 or 4444 – all are used by your Angels to say hello and bring you hugs. A big bear symbol everyone out there is familiar with started his work in 1944. He has been Used to help protect our wilderness from the destruction caused by carelessness . . . Smokey Bear has become a part of American culture since his introduction in 1944. He and his message, “Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires” (updated in 2001 to “Only You Can Prevent Wildfires”) has been a symbol of preserving forests and woodlands.
Smokey wears a hat similar to one worn by U.S. Forest Service rangers; state police officers in some states wear a similar style, giving rise to the CB slang “bear” or “Smokey” for the highway patrol.
Brown bears, black bears, polar bears, panda bears, koala bears . . . I love them all and am eternally grateful that they exist.
(Please like The Godsign Institute on Facebook to get specific ‘bear’ messages on polar, grizzly, koala, panda and just plain old bears, coming out in the next couple of weeks, like the ones below.)
Bears, their symbols and their effect on early rituals and belief systems reach to the heavens. Ursa Major and Ursa Minor derive their names from the Latin word ursus for bear. The big bear and the little bear in the sky.
The English word “bear” belongs to a family of names for the bear in Germanic languages, in origin from an adjective meaning “brown. (what can brown do for you?) In Germanic culture, the bear was a symbol of the warrior, as evident from the Old English term beorn which can take the meaning of both “bear” and “warrior”. The ancient legendary name of Beowulf means bear.
The bear has been a common National personification for Russia. The brown bear is Germany’s and Finland’s national animal. In the United States, the black bear is the state animal of Louisiana, New Mexico, and West Virginia; the grizzly bear is the state animal of both Montana and California.
“Bear”, “bruin”, or specific types of bears are popular mascots, for sports teams – Chicago Bears, Chicago Cubs, California Golden Bears, UCLA Bruins, Boston Bruins.
In many Native American shamanic traditions the bear is associated with medicine healing and magical wisdom.
Bears speak to all of us of strength, power, deep rest and slumber. However, Bears also keenly know when it is time to come out of hibernation and go after some honey in life! Source will use bears to speak to you about all the above. Perhaps you need some cuddling or are in store for some honey life has to offer and teddy bears keep showing up. Maybe you have been doing some recycling and ‘going green’ for Mother Earth and Smokey Bear’s image keeps saluting you.
Perhaps this is a time when you need to go within, deep within and the Divine keeps placing images of sleeping bears around you. Bears realize they need time within and do not fear the time of being silent, alone and restful. They know we all need those times to rejuvenate and reclaim lost energy.
Let God use the beloved bears to bring you big bear hugs of Love, great joy in life’s honey and the strength to be a warrior for Spirit!
Below is a fun song we used to sing when my sons were little about bears . . . with big bear hugs from me to you!

Teddy Bear’s Picnic
If you go down in the woods today
You’re sure of a big surprise
If you go down in the woods today
You’d better go in disguise!
For every bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain
Because today’s the day the
Teddy Bears have their picnic
Picnic time for Teddy Bears
The little Teddy Bears are having
A lovely time today
Watch them, catch them unawares
And see them picnic on their holiday
See them gaily gad about
They love to play and shout
They never have any cares
At six o’clock their Mommies and Daddies
Will take them home to bed
Because they’re tired little Teddy Bears
Every Teddy Bear who’s been good
Is sure of a treat today
There’s lots of marvelous things to eat
And wonderful games to play
Beneath the trees where nobody sees
They’ll hide and seek as long as they please
‘Cause that’s the way the
Teddy Bears have their picnic
Picnic time for Teddy Bears
The little Teddy Bears are having
A lovely time today
Watch them, catch them unawares
And see them picnic on their holiday
See them gaily gad about
They love to play and shout
They never have any cares
At six o’clock their Mommies and Daddies
Will take them home to bed
Because they’re tired little Teddy Bears
Because they’re tired little Teddy Bears

Next Meeting February 1st, at 6:30
Many in our world are aware and know that although their loved one’s Spirit has passed into Heaven the sacred and eternal communications and connections with their loved ones still continue with them after death.
The Griffin Grief Group’s mission is to help everyone learn to strengthen, use and honor the many and varied Sacred Messages received from loved ones in Spirit. Over time, these sacred messages and communications help ease grief through the eternal bonds of God’s Love and Grace.
Whether you have lost your parent or child, spouse or friend, the loss and grief can feel like it will consume your heart. The Griffin Grief Groups are here to help you connect through Spirit with your loved one in Spirit. You will meet others who understand deep grief from their own experiences. Sharing the eternal Connection we all are capable of knowing, seeing and using in our daily life from our loved ones in Heaven allows each of us to realize how deep and everlasting their love is for us in God’s eternal Home and helps lessen grief.
Our
group meets the First Friday’s of every month at Inner Path,
the cost is $15
