In many cultures around the world, the elk is a symbol of strength, stamina, agility, power and freedom. These are also the qualities embodied in many aspects of healing.
Strentgh and stamina are needed to heal and to face life's daily challenges.
Power can only come from within, no one can give it to you OR take it away without your permission. Healing on a mental and emotional level allows the person to become empowered and discover their own inner source of strength.
Finally, any healing process is freeing on many levels, whether you are seeking freedom from physical, mental or emotional pain.
