Connecting With The Wolf Within

The North America zodiac has the wolf arriving in the Northern Hemisphere February 19 – March 20 and in the Southern Hemisphere August 23 – September 22. Wolves are probably the most misunderstood animal. This is recorded during my Insight Timer live session about this spirit animal. It touches on the support the wolf can give us and how we can reflect on our lives. It is a good combination with the meditation to explore your relationship with the wolf and how you can invite this spirit animal.

Welcome to the Wisdom of the Wolf.

I'm very grateful to share this space and time with you.

I also want to just take a moment to really thank everyone who is supporting me with their donations,

With their feedback,

With their presence,

With their support towards me and working and learning and being patient with me too,

With learning all this technology.

I am very,

Very grateful for all of it.

So at the moment,

Of course,

I was just talking with Pamela about it,

But I'm still home,

Still on a lockdown,

Although my family is,

Of course,

Trying to be careful and calm.

I also have the company of two dogs and two cats,

And most of the time,

They have their own view of what they're doing and their level of noise.

So please bear with me if you hear something and just send a good energy and good patience.

So today,

We're going to talk about the wolf.

We are going to say goodbye to Otter.

And of course,

Nothing is starting on the date or everything is kind of flowing.

As we know,

That's how nature works.

But just for organization purposes or just for,

You know,

Our human brain to get things around us,

I'm going to stick to some dates.

So I'm going to give you some information first,

And then we dive into a meditation.

So the wolf starts coming in on the northern hemisphere on February 19th,

And it goes all the way to March 20th.

And that goes with Pisces.

And then if you live on the southern hemisphere,

The wolf is coming in around August 23rd and says it's goodbye at September 22nd.

And that's in the south of the hemisphere connected to Virgo.

And I think people can relate for themselves to how things go.

So I think wolves are probably the most misunderstood animals.

And the stories you hear about are mostly about horrible attacks or vicious herding,

Others.

Sadly,

Hollywood is not doing us a favor on that part.

And to be honest,

I've done some research and to this date,

There is actually no attack reported on a human by a healthy wolf.

So only on a rare occasion,

A wolf will show dominance towards humans or to other animals for that matter.

And yes,

They are hunters and they will hunt their prey,

But they hunt the sick or the young ones,

Or they will go after the old ones.

But they will leave the healthy animals be.

And the other reason that you should pay attention to wolves and I think to any animal is a mom with her little,

Because she will protect them.

She will.

.

.

There will be no end.

So those are the two things that,

You know,

We should pay attention on with wolves.

But other than that,

A wolf may share a growl here and there,

But happily chooses a way to walk away from any situation.

And as it knows its own strength and it knows that it doesn't need to prove anything.

The presence of a wolf is an indication of good health within the environment.

So the stories of dying parts of nature being restored by introducing or reintroducing the wolves are coming more and more to light.

And these are practical information about the wolf,

But very significant for our relationship with nature and our planet that we all love so dearly.

So let's dive into a little bit more.

Wolves are very close with their pack and live by very strict rules.

Every member of a pack of a wolf has their own place and their own role that they need to do.

Wolves are exceptionally good communicators via body language and with sounds.

So when a wolf shows up into your day,

May it be that you need to have a good look at how you are communicating,

What are your communication methods and how effective are they?

Learning from a young age how to read others' moods or how to communicate your mindset is essential to this day.

And we get stuck with our rules that are created from outside our community.

And sometimes simply because we think we need to belong or we think that we need to survive in certain circumstances.

And our values are sometimes the first thing that we walk away from because we think we need to adopt the other values that are surrounded by us.

And interestingly enough,

It's the other way around.

To stand for your value is very important.

And with the support of the wolf energy,

The wolf will always choose their own values for protection,

For grounding and for moving on.

So having a wolf as your spirit animal or even for short periods of time as a guide or in the time space that we are at the moment,

It will help you create freedom,

A freedom that will feed your soul and allows you to create your dream life.

Wolves are,

As a pack,

Have a very,

Very organized community.

As I said before,

All members have their roles and all of them are important.

So you have your leader,

The alpha,

And he can run a tight ship.

But it's not always how the pack will roll or make decisions.

So it's a combination of authority and democracy.

So sometimes a leader needs to make a swift decision and,

You know,

When there is fear or something's happening,

They all need to stick together and follow.

But sometimes the decision needs to be made by one of the members that have knowledge about certain things when they're looking for water or food or other things.

So looking at,

Reflecting that back into your own life,

How do you make decisions?

And are you open to follow guidance or a leader?

Or are you also able to follow your own intuition and your own guidance and your own knowledge that you have built over the years in your lifetime?

Most wolves will mate for life.

And when they have a family,

The whole pack will care for them.

It takes a village to raise kids as well.

Pups are raised with kindness and love and all the wolves are very tolerant with the pups.

They will be raised with values because that's important within the pack and it's also very important for their safety.

And to honor every wolf in the pack with their job,

With their contribution.

So every member,

They will learn the value of appreciating everyone part of their family,

So to speak.

So we get raised by our communities as well.

And sometimes we lose track of those values and those rituals.

And they're actually quite essential to us.

So they give us anchors and they give us the ability to fall back on when we need to.

And yeah,

We might learn things intuitively and we know if we don't come from a safe background or a background where we weren't appreciated.

So we learn then from a young age,

Hey,

This isn't good.

I should do this differently.

So you can create your own values and your own anchors.

And with that,

You can create your own pack,

Your own family.

Because family is not only bloodline.

Family is people you meet during your lifetime,

Which where you share values with.

So that is also very,

Very important.

As a hunter,

The wolves will use anything of the prey of their meal.

They will not waste one single thing of it.

So looking for us for guidance,

We should look at how the wolves does that.

And are we wasteful?

And maybe we should be careful with resources we have or resources we buy and use them to their full potential or share them with other people or give them away if they're not useful to us anymore.

A wolf is really,

Really good at creating and using every single thing they pick up and be part.

So it's part of a meal.

It's part of cleaning their teeth.

It's part of playing for the little ones.

Every little thing will be used.

So have a look for yourself.

Like,

Hey,

How resourceful am I with my things?

And do I think before I go out and purchase things or can I share this or maybe,

You know,

Combine it with other people?

Wolves are,

As we know,

Very intelligent bunch and they will always try to avoid trouble and will go around or walk away from a dangerous situations.

In these moments,

They can get injured and then they are vulnerable.

So are you vulnerable and how?

If you ask a wolf guidance,

So this wolf spirit,

The animal spirit as a guidance,

They will help you figure out where your vulnerability is within your community or within your life and show you what is the best move.

You know,

You can call upon them and they can give you nudges or send you into the right direction and the wolf will show up and maybe not in a way that you expect,

But in a creative way.

So be open for that and follow that guidance.

Wolf also will ask for help.

So there's done quite some research about that the wolf and the raven work together in their hunt.

So the raven will be the eyes in the sky and the wolf will be on the ground and they'll share their meal.

You know,

They will help one another.

The wolf has excellent hearing and in combination with their senses smell,

That's how they hunt,

Of course.

Having a wolf as your spirit animal or for all of us in this month,

The present,

Listen to your inner voice where guidance is taking you.

And it's a real invitation in this month.

Like,

Gosh,

You know,

Where can I listen?

Where am I being nudged?

Where is the guiding coming from?

Trust the inner guidance as part of wolf medicine and it will help you create attachments that are healthy for you.

It will steer you away from unhealthy habits and unhealthy rituals and it will allow you to let a new wind come through your life.

The wolf is always ready to teach us,

Sometimes with a sturdy hand,

Sometimes with a gentle hand.

But it's always there with love and with you as your main character in the story here on this beautiful planet.
