Spiritual Meanings Of A Hare Crossing Your Path:
It is about the natural rhythms of life
“A Time to be Born and a Time to Die” – Ecclesiastes 3:2
The moment a hare crossed in front of me, I knew it wasn’t by chance.
The hare has been one of the most powerfully symbolic creatures I have ever encountered — much more than meets the eye.
The hare makes me more aware of the natural rhythms in my life that are under play beneath the surface, constantly shifting.
When I see a hare, I take it as if Universeerse is aligning with changes happening within me.
It is not the ending of things that can be seen in this creature, but what happens in the time between when something ends and before it begins.
It is about the dream world
“All men who have achieved great things have been great dreamers” – Orison Swett Marden
The hare has taught me one of the most important lessons of life, which is tied to dreams.
A hare bolted across my path then, in the next moment, I felt compelled to listen to what had long been disregarded dreams.
Hares are like messengers that help bring the conscious and subconscious realms together, bringing messages up from my inner landscape, things I might otherwise overlook.
The hare is an apparition signaling me to venture into that territory.
This means taking a closer look at the symbols being delivered in my night-time wandering.
After my first dream encounter with the hare, I began a dream journal and was stunned by the synchronicities that seemed to appear subconsciously.
I also began to see patterns that had been right in front of me.
The written message from the hare is explicit: this world of dreaming is not other than our awake reality.
It is a channel of inspiration, and thanks to it, I gain access to the richest spiritual advice.
It is about communication
“In the Beginning Was the Word” – John 1:1
I do not see just an animal when a hare crosses in front of me.
I feel enticed to communicate on a more profound level.
In their silence, hares bring messages to my heart that are communicated in ways not through words but in signs, symbols and intuition.
I see this as a form of communicating, only that in spirit, everything is linked and responds to one another in the most subtle and unspoken language.
I have found that the presence of a hare means that I need to hear what is not being said.
If I experience doubt or confusion at the sight of a hare, I know that it is a sign that the solutions to my questions have been there all along, waiting patiently for me to notice.
I take note of the messages I receive in life by tuning into the subtle, silent whispers of Universeerse.
It is about action
“If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost” – Henry David Thoreau
In its speed and nimbleness, the hare has been my physical action teacher.
Hares don’t dilly-dally; they snatch upwards.
Whenever a hare leaps in front of my car, I know an intention needs setting.
There have been times in my life when I held back and overthought things to death, waiting for the perfect time. 
Sometimes, the planning phase would keep me in a place of paralysis by analysis, and then I would be contemplating whether or not it was the right time to move forward.
It’s not a reckless abandonment of responsibility but a use of my aligned cosmic purpose as guidance and trust that everything in Universeerse is set up to support me.
There is no yesterday for the hare, and there should be none for us.
When the hare crosses my path, I ask myself what I have been avoiding in my life.
It is a reliable sign for me to forge ahead, believe in where I am going and pull the trigger.
It is a message
“The Spirit Gives Life” – 2 Corinthians 3:6
The hare is viewed as a messenger of the spirit world.
A hare is a being of liminal spaces – those in between places where the edge between this world and others is blurred.
In my case, whenever I see a hare, it means an opportunity for me to reconnect to the spiritual world.
It is at this time that I must decide to meditate and pray.
This then transmits a sense that the hare is not just terrestrial but tied into wisdom communicated through ancestors.
Over time, I noticed that whenever a hare ran across my road, it heralded some deeper level of spiritual awareness or experiences.
At these moments, the hare unlocks a door to divine understanding of greater depth.
It may not always be in the form of a grand revelation but a subtle sensation.
It is about spontaneity
“Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans” – John Lennon
Life rarely goes the way we plan it, and the suddenness of a hare in my life helps me to savor those moments that I didn’t expect.
A hare crossing my path is a message to not grip so tightly that I crumble or break but to be supple enough to roll with the unexpected twists of life.
There have been far too many times that I have concerned myself with the long term but failed to pay attention to the present.
I need to let go of the illusion of control and stay open to the magic that Universe is willing to deliver.
When the hare comes, I get with the program, follow and flow into where life wants to unfold even though I have no clue as to what that is.
It is about steadiness
“As Above, So Below” – Hermetic Principle
The hare is both a creature of the Earth and a spiritual animal.
So, when it crosses my path, it implies that I need to reconcile these two worlds.
For me, I have found that when a hare shows up in my life, it is usually because I have been focusing so much on the spirit or something materialistic.
What matters is finally marrying the two of them, bringing spiritual wisdom into everyday life and making the sacred mundane.
Whenever the hare crosses my path, I know it is more likely to remind me to be aware of where in life I concentrate too much or not enough on this world over that world.
It is a testimony of the life elements that are balanced in so much that they communicate together from Earth to heaven, physical to spiritual.
It is about health
“The Greatest Wealth is Health” – Virgil
Hares are quick, energetic creatures and are symbolic of health and the vitality that comes with it.
A hare will cross my path when I need to pay more attention to my body and physical condition.
I have found that in my own life, when I am becoming unwell or out of whack physically through stress, exhaustion and lack of proper nutrition, the hare will appear, calling me back to self-kindness.
Through this, I actually have learned that the hare’s message to me is that it’s time for me to take care of my body.
The hare is a message to do what it takes to nourish our spirit.
With better food, more rest, or just time spent in nature, the hare’s energy makes me understand that my body is are earth vessel for my soul.
One cannot simply exist without the other two.
It is about moving
“The Secret to Getting Ahead is Getting Started” – Mark Twain
It makes me feel inspired whenever a hare even walks across my path.
Hares are beings of movement; in that energy, it is all about moving forward.
Throughout my life, I procrastinate, stall on making the next move or wait for the perfect time.
The hare tells me that progress comes from movement, not just contemplation.
The appearance of a hare means that it is time to bounce up and down, not rest. But regardless of how far down the road I can see or how far up my training has left me in relation to where I aim to stand at the start.
I have faith in the process. I’m trusting that Universeerse will show up for me.
It is about abundance
“For Where Your Treasure Is, There Your Heart Will Be Also” – Matthew 6:21
Usually when I see a hare cross my way, I feel it is speaking to me about abundance.
The hare, however, is more than just richness.
It is the journey to be on purpose, rooted in my core, where my heart leads.
The hare calls me to investigate my view of abundance outside success.
When I stay in line with my actions, getting me to my highest values, abundance takes care of itself.
Being rich is living out an inspired life — a life based on weaving my passions into the full story of who I am.
Every time I see a hare making its brief appearance across my physical path, I see it as a message to reconnect with my authentic self and do those things that make me enthusiastic.
