Praise for The Wind Is My Mother: The Life and Teachings of a Native American Shaman "This fascinating book is a rare combination of universal truths and practical applications. It is an excellent manual for living a healthy life in a complex world."--John Gray, author of Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus "Bear Heart, a full-blooded Muskogee Creek Indian and one of the last 'trained' medicine men, shares this knowledge, combining it with his more formal, graduate [studies] in psychology to build a bridge between Native American and modern spirituality."-- Publishers Weekly "At once mystical and utterly practical, Bear Heart's message is not a call to conversion, but the testimony of a life so fully lived that it can heal others. To read it is to be inspired to live one's own life with more attention, harmony and hope."--Lorene Cary, author of If Sons, Then Heirs: A Novel "Bear Heart, a Muskogee Creek Indian medicine man, tells his story, including his insights about receiving the power of the Great Spirit through fasting, chanting, and vision quests."-- St. Petersburg Times "Inspiring...Bear Heart weaves together anecdotes and philosophy demonstrating that traditional Native American wisdom can be applied in today's world to live a peaceful, balanced life. A charismatic storyteller, Bear Heart's autobiography is rich not only with the amazing accomplishments and wisdom of his life as a medicine man but also with the ages-old legends of his people."-- Evolving Woman

Synopsis
With eloquent simplicity, Native American medicine man Bear Heart demonstrates how traditional tribal wisdom can help us maintain spiritual and physical health in today's world. "As a child I was taught, 'Chebon, the way to attain the beauty in life is through harmony. Be in harmony with all things, but most important, be in harmony with yourself first. A lot will go on in your life, some good, some bad--people may argue and some will try to take control of your life--but that one word, harmony, will neutralize any problems and help your life to become beautiful.'"--from The Wind is My Mother "A compelling and important work...Bear Heart is a gifted storyteller--readers of all backgrounds will be inspired by his lessons of how to apply traditional Native American wisdom to maintain balance in today's world...Bear Heart's is a truthful, honest voice which has let us into his world, and our world is better for it." -- Body, Mind, Spirit

      Humorous yet significant insights

      The author tells of life lessons via short-stories and intersperses all with Native American beliefs. Up to Book 3 it was compelling and fun to read; Book 3 goes into Native American religous background and tends to be more serious and dry. Overall a wonderful explanation of religion from a Native American standpoint.

    • Spiritual and revealing

      This came my way first at a local yard sale. Love the stories and insight of the author. Upon returning from a long journey, I left it at the airport by error, and hence, ordered another copy ! It still travels with me on my journey through life. I do recommend this book especially to upcoming generations.

    • Story of Bear Heart a SHAMAN.

      Tells many stories of his Native American training and experience in their ways. This is of Muscogee Creek Native American Indian and is Christian in content. I fully enjoyed it and do recommend it to anyone that has no problem with the above. For many it could point a person in a positive direction to lead a better life. It for sure if you agree with it is uplifting and inspirational. It also causes one to think deeper about many things in this world. Showing spirit and nature are working together for the human race. It also is an environmental lesson on keeping our planet pure and clean.

    • Buy it, you wont regret it.

      I LOVE this book. Its like sitting at a fire and listening to the elders speak. Its never boring and keeps you wanting to read on to hear the rest. Its not a heavy read. He speaks of his own experiences and entwines them into something you can apply in your own life today. You wont regret buying this book.
