Power Animal Healing with Lord Sananda and Alexandriah Stahr
Kola the Polar Bear

This is the story of how I first met my Polar Bear Power Animal named Kola and how it took over 50 years for me to recognize who he was and what the dream represented.
When I was about 4 years old I began having a re-occurring dream of being chased by a Polar Bear. In the dream, I am afraid and I am running and being chased by the Polar Bear. As I run toward home, always at the same street corner, the street opens up and I fall into the opening like falling off a cliff. As I tumble into the dark opening, I look above me and the Polar Bear is falling and tumbling after me. The suddenness of the fall causes me to wake up, safe, but with the vividness of the dream fresh in my mind. This dream went on for many years and I always wondered what it meant. I figured it was some kind of insecurity dream and searched for understanding of what I might be so insecure about. Although I learned much about my early childhood through these inquiries, the dream memory stayed unsolved. During my early years of spiritual development, I asked various people who I thought might have insight into dream interpretation with no meaningful results. Off and on the dream would be brought back to my attention. It was always there in the back of my mind…an old memory that always stayed with me. Even during the last 20 years of my spiritual clearing work, this memory’s meaning eluded me.
Then when my Inner Shaman revealed herself and I met my Power Animals, who should show up but Mr. Polar Bear. At first I didn’t make the connection. That Bear was one of my Power Animals, did not come as a surprise, as I have always “hibernated” and been a “dreamer”. Then one day during my meditation, I had an “aha” and the light went on. I had the realization that the dream fragment was distorted, a “wounded aspect” that needed healing. This was when I was first taught that not all Power Animals are what they seem. I did a healing on my 4 year old self and the Polar Bear. As soon as I did that the dream fragment memory transformed.
In the new memory, the little girl (me) stops and turns around to face the Polar Bear chasing her. As soon as Mr. Polar Bear sees me standing and facing him, he stops and drops down at my feet, his head extended for me to pet him. All of a sudden the me at 4 years old remembers and is thrilled to see her bear friend. I giggle and wrap my arms around him. I kiss him as I climb up on top of his back, as we fly into the opening in the earth which I now realize is dreamland. As soon as I have this realization, the scenario changes and we are back where we started. This time Mr. Polar Bear simply curls up on the ground like a big cat and my 4 year old curls up with him and they both go to sleep. Again I have the realization that my fondness for snuggling and being comfy and cozy with soft blankets and jammies is my memory of curling up with Mr. Bear and feeling safe as we drift off together into dreamland. I realize that Mr. Polar Bear has been with me all my life. He is both an innate part of my nature as well as a great friend and teacher. Now I am much more conscious of his presence and can call upon him and see him whenever I wish.
This was one of my most vivid Power Animal Experiences to date. It is also a validation of why I always do healings with the Power Animals during the Power Animal Retrieval. Interference by dark forces, has caused us to be cut off from our own Power Animals and the talents and abilities that they represent. Healing not only clears the blocks that keep us from knowing our Power Animals but heals the memories associated with our Power Animals both from this lifetime as well as from previous lifetimes. Just as in my dream fragment memory, I wasn't really running away from the bear, as I had always thought, we were running and playing as children do with their pets. What had always made me think the memory was accurate was the feeling I had about the memory, which was one of fear. As my story explains the dream memory was false and distorted and was an indication of the need for healing. Even though this may, by traditional definitions, be a Shadow Guide (see types of guides on homepage) there is no reason for a Shadow Guide to linger any longer than it takes to heal it, as I do with every Power Animal Retrieval I do. Once the healing was done, on my inner 4 year old and my Polar Bear, one of my most important Power Animals was returned to me bringing with it more of me and the knowledge and power that those parts contained.
