- A collection of earth-centered meditations to enhance our
connection to the natural world.
- Reveals the Old Wisdom of the Cherokee elders for living in
harmony with all beings.
- Written by J. T. Garrett, of the Eastern Band of Cherokee, who
was taught the ancient ways by his grandfather and other medicine
men of his tribe.
In a time before ours, humans could talk with animals, hear
whisperings from plant life, and understand the origin stories
written in the stars. Survival depended on active kinship with
family and tribe, with four-leggeds and plant people, with sun and
moon and fire. The Cherokee, known widely as the Principal People
or the First People, hold a deeply tapestried collection of stories
about human interrelatedness with nature. Those stories, passed
down through countless generations of Cherokee, are especially
significant at this time in human history, when Mother Earth
suffers under the weight of unchecked "progress."
As a boy, J. T. Garrett sat beside his grandfather and the other
medicine men of his tribe as they chanted and drummed the stories
of his ancestry. From those stories of Nu-Dah (the Sun),
Grandmother Moon, Spring Rain, and Little Eagle comes this
collection of active meditations for reconnecting with the natural
intelligence that is our birthright. Recognizing that we are all
kin in the Universal Circle of life opens us to communication with
all beings, bringing us back to our natural spirit selves. If we
listen carefully to the Cherokee stories of the Old Ways we can
gain understanding of lost social and spiritual traditions that can
help ensure a thriving future.
