Product Description

Bestselling Native American author and internationally renowned teacher and healer Jamie Sams -- creator the Sacred Path Cards and the Medicine Cards offers her first book in paperback of practical advice for living on a spiritual path. The result of nearly twenty-five years of intensive study with two Native American dreaming societies, Dancing the Dream draws our attention to the four directions of the Medicine Wheel (East, South, West, and North) and the three unseen directions -- Above, Below, and Within -- and explains how each of these seven directions represents a specific path on the spiritual journey. In the East, we encounter the first stirrings of the spirit; in the South, the healing of relationships; in the West, we work to build self-esteem; in the North, we learn wisdom and the opening of the heart; Above represents the world of spirit; Below, the earth; Within, full awareness of the present moment. Most people will walk these paths in sequence. Some will never make it through all seven. Many will continue to move forward but continue to double back on earlier paths until they get things rights. But for those willing to walk all seven paths, there is the great reward of being able to see the world with the soaring vision of an eagle, fully aware and present to meet life's challenges with vision, wisdom and purpose.

AMAZING, A GUIDE/BIBLE FOR LIFE
Jamie Sams ability to observe and walk her talk around the medicine wheel is truly inspiring, it encourages the spirit inside of you to grow and soar. This book is witty and endearing and most of all filled with humility and intelligent observations, based on a human spirits journey through the physical seen/unseen worlds. Its a brilliant book, and has helped me to walk in alignment with Mother Earth. Jamie Sams is now my constant companion in the form of this book, she inspires me everyday, this woman's energy is a strength for all who touch it.
