Guadalupe is celebrated every year on December 12th. Guadalupe is the Divine Mother. She lifts the anguish from our hearts and replaces it with light. In Celebration of Guadalupe's Day I want to share with you the story of connecting with Guadalupe the Bear.
The Mother Bear has always been the quintessential example of a mother’s love. This is because of her fierce, protective nature. She steps forward and with courage goes forward to shield and safeguard her young.
At Guadalupe Mountain Healing we have the Bear out front. In her I feel the full force of something powerful, big and compassionate . She lives in the mountain of renewal and regeneration. Guadalupe the Bear. I'm not meaning to belabor the name but I can't help it. It calms me down and lifts me up. It is a presence in itself and the One behind it bolsters, sustains, and nurtures an expansion in me. A call to prayer, to service, to humility and community.
Perhaps you feel Her nudging you, including you in the pleat and fold of Her love and protection.

There was all this excitement downtown in Santa Fe on a Sunday in September, 2012. A beautiful brown bear had set herself on the steps of the Guadalupe Church. Did you know this church is the oldest church to Guadalupe in the U.S. ? Every December 12th, on Guadalupe’s day the church is filled with devotion, roses and music, singing and guitars till wee hours of the morning
People gathered around to watch the reclining Bear stretched out. When a crowd had formed, the Bear moved slightly downhill to a grassy spot. She settled in and fell asleep.
A form of the Divine Mother. It seemed like everyone felt it. She had graced this spot with her presence, a large, bountiful peaceful presence. People gathered to take her picture. The police even came to protect her slumbering form. I wanted to somehow find a way to thank her.
Happy Guadalupe Day. Your intuitive healing is always inspired, inspiring and powerful. Like mama bear you lift my anguish and confusion and bring in the light.
