Product Description

Product Description

Bridging the worlds of the traditional Native American and modern culture, the authors offer an inspiring and moving autobiography of a native American medicine man, one of the last to be trained in the ancient ways, and one of the few to teach nontribal people.

I would recommend this book to everyone whether they are interested in Native American wisdom or not. It's a book about life. It's humility, humour and commonsense is amazing. It's not a 'teaching' book, its a book about learning, it doesn't preach, its gives you choice. Since I read it I have spent more time thinking about what Bear Heart says in it, than any other book I have read before. Its full of impact but it's subtle, which may sound like a contradiction, but you need to read it to understand what I mean. It's a very easy book to read, it doesn't use complicated language, it doesn't need to.

Format:Paperback
"The Wind Is My Mother", is a truly amazing book, by an even more amazing man. Grandfather Bear Heart tells us his story, from a child, up to the present time. It tells of his quest for knowledge about the ways of the Shaman, and his teachers along the way. Any time that I'm feeling depressed, I reread this book. It is a very uplifting work, and demonstrates that while the man is one of great Shamanic skills, he also is very humble, and humorous. Grandfather Bear Heart is a man of immense passion for Mother Earth and all her children. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in Native American Spirituality, or just in becoming a better person. After reading it, try to attend one of the Bear Tribe's Medicine Wheel Gatherings, where he frequently gives seminars. It, and he, will truly change your life, as it did mine.

Bear Heart has shown in simple words what honesty, courage, spirituality and beauty can really mean and how it can work to develop the reader and stir the soul. He says 'find your own path', at the same time I would suggest that him writing about his, will give a searcher a helping hand. The humour in the book is wonderful and the insight into the many levels that we can exist on can lead to a greater awareness of the universe we dwell in. I am left with respect for the immense humility he has displayed writing in this style. To be clear though, this book is not about being flowery or fanciful, Bear Heart's story is about a tough journey as well as a wonder-full one and all who go down the spirit road will know what I mean by that. Thank you.
