The Black Bear Symbolism and Meaning

The black bear symbolism is about introspection. The bear symbolizes going inward and exploring your life, meaning, and purpose. With this spirit animal, you may delve deep into your heart to find the significance of your path and journey.

Black bears also signify healing, appreciating life, family, protection, boundaries, courage, strength, and wisdom.
