The Polar Bear as A Spiritual Guide

I am very pleased to announce that our blog is expanding into two component parts, each with a related yet distinct focus.

This January, our ongoing series of monthly Symbolic Animals blog posts are moving to my brand new website called Carolyn Osborn Intuitive.

We will always post a short “Digest Excerpt” of those blog posts right here on this website, so you can link directly to it on my other site. www.CarolynOsbornIntuitive.com

This site will remain the cherished home of our other blog posts which extend the themes we highlight in Energy Medicine, which includes supporting both people and animals, separately or together.
