Animal Bite Wounds

An animal has bitten you. Perhaps a dog that snaps without warning even though you did nothing to provoke it. Perhaps a cat that is purring one moment and the next sinks its teeth into your hand. Perhaps a wild animal that catches you where you least expected it. The wound burns, the skin is torn, the blood flows — and you ask yourself: Why me? What did I do wrong?

From a medical standpoint, bite wounds are tissue injuries with a high risk of infection. They must be treated, disinfected, sometimes sutured. There is nothing to interpret about that — that is first aid. But psychosomatically a different question arises: What led to you being the one bitten in this situation? Animals respond to aura. To inner states. To an energy you are transmitting without knowing it.

Bite wounds are not a punishment, but a mirror — for something inside you that is itself seeking expression.
