In Native American tradition, everything has a spirit--even an illness or injury. "If we know how to listen," teaches Dr. Lewis Mehl-Madrona, "our health issues will often reveal the secret to their own healing." On
Native American Healing Meditations, Dr. Mehl-Madrona offers insights and practices to help you access the healing power of the spirit world. Drawing from his experience as both a medical doctor and a lifelong student of traditional Cherokee and Lakota medicine, he presents four guided practices based on indigenous wisdom:
Finding Your Spirit Guide--calling upon your unseen allies and ancestors for protection, guidance, and healing energyHeroic Journey--rewrite your life story to one of greater health and happinessDialogue with the spirit of an illness--letting your health challenges tell you why they have come into your life and how to heal themTraveling to the Future--receiving valuable information from your older self
While Western medicine often sees healthcare as a battle against a disease or injury, Native American tradition holds that true healing comes through dialogue--with our afflictions, our spiritual allies, and our own innate wisdom. With gentle guidance and a rich understanding of tribal medicine, Dr. Mehl-Madrona offers you essential practices for tapping into the resources of the spirit world with
