Which wolf are you feeding?

Sometimes the most powerful insights arrive in the quiet moments as the body realigns.

Last week, after a Reiki session with a client, she and I were chatting about her blocked chakras and the impact that our beliefs have on the body. She looked at me and asked if I ever heard of the old Cherokee story about the two wolves. I hadn't, so I read it later and instantly connected to it.

Here is the synopsis:

Inside each and every person, there are two forces, or “wolves.”

There is a positive wolf: joy, happiness, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.

There is a negative wolf: resentment, anger, doubt, fear, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, and lies.

These wolves are fed based on our beliefs and/or actions.

It’s important to acknowledge both of these forces within us and accept the emotions from both wolves. Starving either wolf can create internal conflict and unrest.

However, you have the power to decide which wolf grows stronger. The wolf that you feed more is going to be the one that shows up more.

What does this really mean?

This proverb tells us that first, we are human. There is no such thing as perfect. We are not always 100% one thing. We have to accept that we may have faults; we may feel anger, frustration, or resentment at times, but those feelings don’t need to define us. They don’t need to rule our belief systems and, ultimately, our actions.

We are in complete control.

We can see and feel the fear bubbling up in us, acknowledge it, trust that it is our body’s natural protection, and still decide to rewrite it into something that helps us move forward with confidence.

It’s in feeding the positive wolf, acknowledging the negative, and rewriting those negativities that all the magic happens.

Once we figure this out, the better our health will be. The more productive we will be. The more our relationships will prosper. The more in tune with the universe we will be. The easier everything will come to us.

So, which wolf are you feeding?

If this resonates, this is the kind of inner work I support clients with — helping them notice what they’re feeding and gently shift from the inside out.
