Mountain Lion medicine involves lessons on the use
of power in leadership.
It is the ability to lead without insisting that others follow. It is the understanding
that all beings are potential leaders in their own ways. The use and abuse of power in a
position
of influence are part of this great cat's medicine.
By observing the graceful pounce of Mountain Lion, you will learn how to balance power,
intention,
physical strength, and grace. This relates, in human terms, to the balance of body, mind, and
spirit.
The giant feline never wastes anything. It only kills what it needs for survival. The female lion is
the hunter who graces her table in a style akin to mother energy.
If Mountain Lion has come to you in dreams, it is a time to stand on you convictions and lead yourself where your
heart takes you. Others may choose to follow, and the lessons will multiply. If you are aligned with cat medicine, you are considered to be
"king of the mountain," and never allowed to be human or vulnerable. The pitfalls are many, but the rewards are great.
In assuming the place of power that Mountain Lion affords, you must constantly be aware of
keeping peace. However you can never make everyone happy
unless you lie to yourself or others. This is human nature. Therefore the first responsibility
of leadership is to tell the truth. Know it and live it,
and your example will filter down to the tiniest cub in the pride. Responsibility is no more than the ability to respond
to any situation. Panic is not a part of this sacred medicine.
