Volumes have been written to address personal problems and dedicate themselves to the theme of "self help." The term itself seems to place the responsibility of healing on the individual who is already expressing a need for assistance. Often the mire and the muck we find ourselves in require more energy to cope than we alone can give.

This guidebook can be another approach to healing. "Two on a Bridge" picks up where "self help" leaves off. Through guided discussion, you and someone you choose will begin to explore the ancient powers and energy sources that surround us today.

In addition to the guidebook you will benefit from having the companion workbook. The workbook suggests activities you and your partner can complete during your time together. These activities are designed to help you access the different energy sources and hopefully make them a part of your life.

The basic concept is quite simple:
Strength and healing can be enhanced when two join together, share a short journey, and discover the healing energy that can come from the power of two.

As a young child of the Oglala Lakota Sioux, Black Elk had been given a mighty vision which would lead him on a personal journey that lasted his entire life. Although Black Elk's vision was a prophetic message telling the terrible future of his tribe, it also held positive aspects that must be reclaimed. It is through this reclamation that the guiding beacons given to him reveal an ancient pathway woven into the images of the West. By exploring Black Elk's eyewitness account of the crucial events of that time, the author discovered a series of metaphorical footprints that show us the way toward inner strength and a balanced life...125 years later.
To help with an interpretation of Black Elk's account, the author invoked the insight of Joseph Campbell, one of the world's foremost authorities on societal ideologies. Through his understanding of symbol and metaphor Campbell was able to examine the metaphorical footprints and provide us with a twenty-first century "spin" that a simple man generations before could only imagine.
This book offers a new look at Black Elk's footprints and together with the insight of Joseph Campbell, presents an inward path to the positive forces within each of us, waiting for discovery.

Als junger Knabe empfing der Oglala Lakota Sioux Black Elk eine machtige Vision, die ihn auf eine personliche Reise fuhren sollte. Eine Reise, die sein ganzes Leben hindurch andauerte. Obwohl Black Elks Vision als prophetische Botschaft die schreckliche Zukunft seines Volkes enthullte, so enthielt sie doch auch positive Aspekte, die es neu zu entdecken gilt. Fordert man sie zutage, so entdeckt man, dass die Orientierungssignale, die Black Elk empfangen hat, einen uralten Pfad weisen, der in die Bilderwelt des amerikanischen Westens eingewoben ist. Beim Studium von Black Elks Augenzeugenberichten entscheidender Ereignisse jener Zeit entdeckte die Autorin eine Reihe metaphorischer Fussabdrucke, die uns den Weg zu innerer Kraft und einem ausgewogenen Leben weisen - 125 Jahre spater.
Bei der Interpretation von Black Elks Worten stutzt sich die Autorin auf die profunden Kenntnisse von Joseph Campbell, einem der weltweit fuhrenden Fachleute auf dem Gebiet gesellschaftlicher Denkweisen. Dank seiner Einsicht in Symbole und Bilder konnte Campbell die metaphorischen Spuren lesen und uns eine dem 21. Jahrhundert angepasste Deutung liefern, von der man vor ihm nur hatte traumen konnen.
Dieses Buch wirft eine neues Licht auf Black Elks Spuren. Und gestutzt auf Jospeh Campbells Erkenntnisse, weist es einen Pfad nach innen: zu positiven Kraften, die in jedem von uns schlummern und nur darauf warten, entdeckt zu werden.
