The Shaman and the Medicine Wheel

De: Evelyn Eaton

Narrado por: Jeanne Scurek

Although Evelyn Eaton walked principally the Native Indian path, The Shaman and the Medicine Wheel reflects the author’s belief in the strength and beauty of all religious traditions. Her personal account of Native American healing rituals for cancer is a story of tenderness, power, and extraordinary capacities. The Shamanic ceremony of the Medicine Wheel channels the splendor of our inner spiritual light, teaching humans to become bridges of glory to all living beings.

Eaton writes, “The more we meditate on the Medicine Wheel and the Greater Wheel Above, the Cosmic Wheel, relating these to circles, spheres, mandalas of other traditions, the deeper grows our realization of the oneness of the myriad paths leading to the Center.”

“Evelyn Eaton remains a monument to the human potential for growth. In her eyes you can see the beginning of the ever-widening breadth of life.” (Sunday Star)

This feels like a diary.

I was looking for a book that details medicine wheels or a shamanic tradition that I could learn. I realized half way through that this book is more of a recount of journal entries from a diary. Not to complain about the majority of the entries is about the time period from the 70s. The woman is a white woman, again not complaining. But here is why I give it 2 stars. The intro talks about a cat who was healed. I want to learn how to heal. Yet later in the book an owl that is not. An event where an owl had same injuries but yet was not healed. An event to visit a shaman but yet his family, wife is sick. A woman who has cancer, but where is the healing? Didn't learn anything but events. The pdf was not here, there was suppose to be a layout of a medicine wheel. Other than a few bible quotes and others at the the end, which was nice. The amazing dream she had I think is why this book got this title. Not bad at the end, but too little to late imo. It is not entirely awful just not exactly what I thought it would be. This book was ok.

was quite boring.

it was rambling about themselves. not what I expecting . I have read a lot of books on shamanisim.
