"The Medicine Wheel is a springboard of power that will allow you to link up to all the energies of the universe." —Sun Bear
Millions of people around the world have incorporated Native American philosophy into their everyday lives. Now, with this special 25th anniversary edition of the late Sun Bear's classic bestseller, readers old and new can benefit from the teachings and techniques of the Medicine Wheel.
In The Medicine Wheel, Sun Bear and Wabun put forth a whole new system of earth astrology to help guide people not only in their daily living but also in their life paths. In the authors' own words, this book was written to "help all people relate better to our Earth Mother...and find a kinship with the universe." The Medicine Wheel is a beautiful and inspiring approach to graceful, holistic living in trying modern times. The Medicine Wheel 's philosophy is derived from a basic principle known by all people who live close to the earth: Once you fully embrace the elemental forces of nature, you become a part of the whole. Let this book be your first step toward finding peace and prosperity—and your own special place in the circle of life.
I was able to read this book over my work day Friday and I’m so happy I picked it up! During the first read, I learned so much about Sun Bear’s worldview and how I can integrate it into my own life. I would recommend everyone learn more about The Medicine Wheel, specifically how it is viewed by the First Nations communities in your area.
This is funny...I read this book in 2019 and just read it again this year. I really love the Earth astrology concept...also recs for herbal medicine and crystals are very informative and helpful. I wish I had room to create a medicine wheel in my yard but alas I do not.
This is a very interesting read for those who love astrology. You can see the similarities between the earth astrology and the astrological signs. But it also goes a little deeper into totems and aspects of the animals that I felt were also very true to my being.
Its a fun, little, worthy astrology book. Is for beginners though. Its not much philosophy, but mainly descriptions of the sign archetypes from a more native american perspective.
I suggest EVERYONE read this whether they are into astrology or not! This book gives you information about yourself as well as others and how to build successful connections with all.
