Earth Medicine: Ancestor's Ways of Harmony for Many Moons

This book speaks to the depths of my soul and makes my insides vibrate as I read out loud the parts that speak the loudest to me. I have never read a book that resonates this strongly with me and speaks so strongly of the clarity these women possess and how deeply they are connected to the Earth and creator.

Native American culture respects the earth and the natural realm. This book distills the wisdom and psychology of living close to the earth but from a spiritual and heart-based practice. It provides daily meditations based on a 28 day moon cycle times 13 months to equal meditations for a 364 day calendar year. The titles of some of the meditations are: "Immutable Laws", "Blue Moon", Keepers of the Earth", "Sacred Point of View", "Infinite Creations", "Heartstrings, the Threads of Life", and "Serenity" to name a few ... The meditations are based on Native American beliefs and legends and are tempered with real life experiences. Interspersed are beautiful poems which reveal deep spiritual insights which can also serve as positive affirmations. This book is a gem. It can be a healing force for anyone with an open heart. It is highly recommended. Erika Borsos (erikab93)

Over the years I have read a number of daily devotionals. The originals are still my favorites, with one exception and this is it. If you come from a Program background you will notice the authenticity and impeccability of the author. With clear intent she presents an option for education and enlightenment at one's own pace. The readings are designed to be read by the timing of the 13 original moons that occured within the cycle of the year. They are connected to the Earth's time, not man's time and so being, it seems easier to find our connection with her too. That is the magic we seek. That is the magic we find in Earth medicine

I know now of what she speaks as she writes, now living on this sacred land. It is a wonderful book I read every evening, before I fall asleep. It is wonderful for the inward journey, speaking from the elders and earth spirits. This was a gift to me, and one of the best books ever! I am waiting for my 2nd Jamie Sams book to arrive shortly. Love her depth. It touches me deep down.

Once again, this respected Medicine Woman and author weaves wisdom with joy into an experience of harmony and happiness. Never ponderous or burdensome, it stands as an energetic tribute to the timelessness of ancient enlightenment brought to the modern world. Highly recommended reading for all people of all traditions.

I have come across many books that include daily devotions, but none that have touched my heart like this one. I have found that I am able to absorb the knowledge I gain from the message as well as apply it to daily living. I share them with those persons that I feel can appreciate and use these words of wisdom. I plan on sharing these teachings with my daughter weekly in the hopes that she will gain the insights that I have, and carry them with her throughout her life. Thank you Jamie Sams I will be forever grateful for your contribution.
