Four Fold Way

Description

Appearing throughout the world's native cultures, the Native American medicine wheel symbolizes the four directions, each with a particular teaching and approach to life. This book demonstrates how ancient archetypes can be used in everyday life - just as indigenous peoples have continued to embrace these ways for centuries. This book represents the universal values common to all humankind - the way of the warrior accesses the resources of power and presence, the way of the healer accesses the resources of love, gratitude, acknowledgement and validations, the way of the visionary accesses the resources of vision, intuition and authenticity and the way of the teacher accesses the resources of wisdom and objectivity. The book features meditational exercizes, a self-inventory that helps readers explore their progress through four archetypes, and inspirational quotations that act as sources of empowerment.
