The story of the White Bison Woman originated from the Lakota people, she taught them that all things are interconnected and that you don't need a place to have abundance. The only thing necessary, however, is to be connected to Spirit. The bison's relationship with Native American peoples highlights these lessons. Cad part of that animal was used, from the hooves to the horns. The bison gave them the gift of life by sacrificing their own. Food and leather for clothing and shelter were provided. Before the bison hunt, prayers of gratitude were offered to the Great Spirit by the tribes. Afterwards, ceremonies were performed to honor the spirit of the bison. Without it, the tribes would not have survived the harsh winters. That's just one lesson galore: use whatever resources you have available. On a deeper level, one must appreciate what one has. How often do you focus on what's missing in your life instead of counting your blessings? How much richer are the lives of human beings when they are grateful for what they have? This sends a powerful message to the universe.
Our beliefs and attitudes towards our connections with everything send powerful messages to the All That Is. When we realize that we are all part of the One, cad individually unique, cad absolutely necessary to the whole, but still, a drop in the ocean, we will know that abundance – which refers not only to health, happiness, friendships, etc. – it doesn’t have to come from wars. Once we are open to receiving, miracles can come from the most unexpected sources. The bison shows us how to stop focusing on problems and how to instead focus on how much we have and how rich we are in terms of connection to everything.
Bison have large heads that symbolize intelligence of a higher order, their strong bodies tie them to the earth. They are the force that connects the earthly to the non-earthly. Both the female and the male have horns and broad shoulders. In humans, the shoulders store personal energy that is expressed through the hands. Anything we hold or touch is linked to our personal energy. Shoulders carry responsibilities as well as negative or positive emotions. Whatever is felt inside us is projected outside us. The bison will show you how to free yourself from the burdens you carry by focusing your energy in a balanced way. The horns grow toward the heavens, indicating a connection to a higher order intelligence. Humpbacks are symbols of zen energy held in the body.
