A lovely book, focused on holistic healing.

This book not only shares ideas and reflections, but also exercises, meditations and other activities. All these activities that are presented by the authors, are in the hope to help the reader regain balance, to fight anxiety, depression, and other troubles of the mind and heart.

The medicine wheel and the four compass points:

This book teaches the reader about teachings around the "Medicine Wheel" and the "Four Compass Points".

North represents Fire and Spirit.

East represents Earth and Body.

South represents Water and Emotions.

West represents Air and Mind.

After presenting an introduction to the wheel and cardinal points, they move on to separate each point of the wheel into it's own chapter.

Through the book, the authors also share meditations and exercises. All of them based on the idea of coming full circle over and over again, always realigning and re-balancing, according to what might be needed. They call this process "The Dance of Healing".

A very spiritual book, but without ignoring the material world. Some of their recommendations are basic, but a great reminder that the best way to recharge and reconnect with ourselves and our spirit can be accomplished by many ways. From the most detailed meditation, to having fun while making snow angels on a winter day.

This book is full of useful information and overall a great read.

I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a spiritual way to deal with things that brings us out of balance and take our joy away.
