Journey of the White Bear: A Path to the Center of Your Shaman's Heart

Native Americans have long associated Bear Medicine with the power of the dreamer, the fierce healer, the protector. Through teachings and practices held sacred by indigenous cultures for thousands of years, Journey of the White Bear: A Path to the Center of Your Shaman's Heart embraces Bear Medicine to explore the concepts of spiritual maturity and personal mastery, the next cycle in the spiraling helix of our personal and collective evolution. Employing a unique combination of traditional teachings and modern earth-based practices, Journey of the White Bear guides readers along a self-paced path of renewal and, like Bear, periods of quiet introspection, dreaming, and rebirth. This nonfiction experiential study of contemporary shamanic practices spirals around the Universal Medicine Wheel to examine the wheels within the Seven Sacred Directions, including the Wheel of Relationships, the Wheel of Ceremonies, and the Wheel of the Ancestors. Using simple rituals, basic visualizing journey techniques, and a series of thought-provoking exercises, co-authors Robin Tekwelus Youngblood and Sandy D'Entremont deepen the teachings begun in Path of the White Wolf to bring readers into relationship with what spiritual adulthood means and to reveal the Shaman's Heart, a heart of service to All Our Relations.
