Meditations with the Cherokee: Prayers, Songs, and Stories of Healing and Harmony

Rating:
Summary: Thoughts from Crow
Review: A journey of LIFE. A journey of beginning and beginning again, cycles within cycles. Messages from the Great One, Mother Earth, the Ancestors, and Spirit Guides. Dancing, singing, planting, loving, healing, giving thanks, helping others and just plan feeling good about yourself and all there is. Every time I read a part in the book I learn something new about our journey here on Mother Earth.
You Can Feel the connection of the Circle of Life and all the wonderful natural things that exist when you read or do the meditations.
This is truly a gift from the Ancestors through J.T. Garret. It is a gift for humanity. Thanks J.T. for being that "hollow bone", and that "window washer". The ones that came before us and the ones that are to come are THANKFUL!!!!

Summary: Great meditations
Review: This book weaves together stories - memories and experiences - of Cherokee ceremonies and conversations with elders. The stories tell the message (sometimes in a long about way but they get there) and then there are these mediation exercises that usually include sitting down out in nature, breathing fully and focusing on a certain image or word. Its neat. The stories are easy to read and the mediations are quite relaxing and centering. Lots of life lessons included here.

Summary: Harmony and Balance from a Cherokee Perspective
Review: This is a wonderful and concise book which reveals the old wisdoms and teachings of the Cherokee. For most readers it will be a slightly different approach in learning to be in harmony with our modern world. The book teaches this harmony both with meditative exercises and with stories which carry the message - the teachings for our current and future generations. As mentioned in the introduction, "This book will take you on a journey of discovery about relationships." It is an excellent book and very much worth reading. It is the 3rd in a series of books by Dr. J. T. Garrett that teach us how to live in harmony and balance in this world. [His other books are Medicine of the Cherokee - The Way of Right Relationship and Walking on the Wind: Cherokee Teachings for Healing Through Harmony and Balance (written by his son, Professor Michael Garrett).]
