Summary: Important messages for people and their environment
Review: Garrett is a student and teacher of the Cherokee Way as well as a professor of counselor education. His message is one of balance, and he illustrates his views with ancient Native anecdotes. I read this for my multicultural counseling class, and it was easily one of the best books for examining my personal worldview. This is easy reading with an important message for individuals and their environment. Of most importance: acknowledging how humans are interconnected with all things (and, in my view, therefore no better than anything else).

Summary: Excellent for beginners

Summary: Outstanding!
Review: I came across this book while exploring my recently discovered Native heritage. It fit the bill perfectly, helping me learn about universal Native traditions, practices, and thinking. I could go on and on, but it's enough to say that this book is well written, informative, and enjoyable. Michael Garrett has a lot to offer.

Summary: Refreshing!
Review: This book is a continuation of the earlier book "Medicine of the Cherokee: The Way of Right Relationship" written by Michael and his father J.T. Garrett. I would recommend that people also read the earlier work because "Walking on the Wind" fails to discuss the totem animals used in the sacred circle (more commonly called the medicine wheel). This book is clearly written and a fun read.

Summary: Inspirational
Review: This book is BEAUTIFUL from the illustrations to the text to the spiritual journey Michael takes you on. The ancient wisdom in this book will ring true to every human who reads it - no matter where you are from. I love the Native Americian teachings, and this is one of the best examples I have read.

Summary: Wonderful teachings!
Review: This is a wonderful book - the lessons, the stories, the exercises, all are superb. Through these different avenues/activities Michael Garrett really conveys not only native american rituals (what, how) but also such deep meaning and connection with mother earth (why). Its a fun book to read, very open and honest style that becomes a real page turner. I love the opening poems to the different chapters that set the stage. Here's the oe for the chapter entitled The Rule of Opposites: "The good road and the road of difficulties; you have made me cross; and where they cross, the place is holy." There are wonderful drawings throughout the book as well. This is definitely one of those books that you read and you think about life in its purest sense. The exercises at the end of each chapter give you good real-world things to do to really understand the teaching. I love it!! Highly recommended!

Review: This is a wonderful book! I fell into it immediately. It's written in a manner that is informal and very easy to understand. It took me from tears of joy on one page to laughing out loud on another. This book has helped me to heal, to face fears, to become more balanced, and to look at things from a different perspective... and for that I am forever grateful. I highly recommend it!!!!
