Teachings Of The Wolf – My Personal Journey
I’ve been immersing myself in the teachings of the wolf for quite some time now, and I must admit, it’s been quite a journey. It all began with attending a seminar on archetypes, where I discovered that I embody the traits of a wolf – courage, strength, loyalty, leadership, intuition, and freedom, entirely.
In past romantic relationships, I’ve often been criticized for being “too dominant” or “too masculine,” which led me to suppress these traits in an attempt to appear more feminine. However, this approach only worsened things, leaving me feeling utterly lost. It took a great deal of reflection and personal growth before I was finally ready to embrace these characteristics and acknowledge them as the true essence of who I am.
This journey ultimately led me to create “Rebel Voyages,” with the intention of empowering other women who may struggle or lack these innate qualities.
My goal is to help them tap into their inner rebel, to cultivate courage in following their intuition and carving out their own paths, to become independent, speak up, and stand firmly in their own identities – all in pursuit of freedom. All my life, I’ve been in pursuit of freedom, and my journey is far from over.
As my connection with the wolf deepened, I came to realize that this magnificent creature holds valuable lessons for us all. Allow me to share some of these captivating insights with you.
The Sacred Role Of The Wolf
After high school, I spent one year in New Mexico, USA, very close to a Navajo reserve. During that time, I already learned about the significance of wolves in Native American spirituality. They aren’t just regular animals; they hold a sacred place.They are revered as teachers and guides, embodying traits such as intelligence, loyalty, and independence. They’re like wise elders, offering us profound lessons on living in harmony with nature, embracing intuition, and fostering unity within communities.
Think about itβwolves are all about community, loyalty, and independence. They live in these tight-knit packs, always looking out for each other. But at the same time, they’ve got this fierce sense of individuality. It’s like they’re telling us, “Hey, be loyal to your pack, but don’t forget to be true to yourself too.”
And let’s not forget about their intuition. Wolves are like the Jedi masters of trusting their gut feelings. They remind us to listen to that little voice inside our heads, guiding us through life’s twists and turns.
Hereβs the intriguing aspect: wolves aren’t solely focused on survival; they’re driven by the desire to thrive. The teachings of the wolf help us to be resilient, adaptable, like those bamboo plants that bend but never break in the wind. Life throws curveballs at us all the time, but with a little wolf spirit, we can face them head-on and come out stronger on the other side.
Life Lessons Derived From The Wolf
There’s so much we can learn from the teachings of the wolf, these incredible creatures. I’ve been reflecting on their remarkable traits, and I’ve compiled seven life lessons that truly resonate with me. These lessons come so naturally to me, it’s like they are a part of who I am. That’s why I’m thrilled to share these insights and teachings with my group every Friday at the “Rebel’s Circle”.
1. Loyalty
That’s what makes wolves stand out. Wolves prioritize the well-being of their pack, emphasizing the value of loyalty and cooperation within communities. They’re ride-or-die for their pack, always looking out for each other, no matter what. It’s like they’ve got this unbreakable bond that nothing can shake.
2. Intuition
Known for their sharp instincts, wolves teach us to trust our inner wisdom and navigate life’s uncertainties with clarity. It seems like they are always knowing when danger’s lurking or when it’s time to move on. It’s like they’re tuned in to nature’s frequency or something!
3. Independence
That’s a big one for wolves (I know what I’m talking about ;-)). While part of a pack, wolves also exhibit a strong sense of individuality, encouraging us to embrace our uniqueness.They’re these lone wolves, doing their own thing, carving out their own path in the wild. They don’t rely on anyone else to survive, and that’s what I like so much about them.
4. Determination
Tenacious and adaptable, it is their unwavering determination that inspires us to keep moving forward, even when faced with daunting obstacles. They never give up, no matter what. Whether it’s hunting down prey or protecting their pack, they’re just relentless and bounce back stronger than ever.
5. Adaptability
Wolves can navigate lifeβs transitions and challenges with grace and strength. They can thrive anywhere, no matter the environment! It’s like they’ve got this superpower to just roll with whatever nature throws at them.
6. Leadership
Wolves possess strong leadership qualities, teaching us the importance of taking charge, while also valuing the input and well-being of others. They are like the CEOs of the animal kingdom! They lead their packs with such pride, coordinating hunts, keeping order, and just being the boss.
7. Wisdom
Wolves are considered wise, constantly seeking knowledge and understanding of the world around them. They are like the wise old sages of the forest. They’ve been around the block, seen it all, and they just exude this aura of knowledge and experience.
Conclusion:
Let’s take a moment to reflect on the profound teachings of the wolf. By embracing its teachings, we’ve unlocked insights into courage, intuition, and harmony, guiding us to walk our true path with boldness, trust in our instincts, and appreciation for the interconnectedness of all life.
