"A magnificent blueprint for transformation."
-- -- Larry Dossey, M.D., author of Healing Words
"A magnificent blueprint for transformation." -- Larry Dossey, M.D., author of Healing Words
"Sams draws upon sources of indigenous wisdom, the metaphoric world, and the depth of her own experience to become a guide for all who wish to grow wise themselves. Dancing the Dream illuminates paths of initiation through the difficulties and opportunities that life provides." -- Jean Shinoda Bolen, M.D., author of Crossing to Avalon and Close to the Bone
Book Description
The result of nearly twenty-five years of intensive study with two Native American dreaming societies, Dancing the Dream draws our attention to the four directions of the Medicine Wheel (East, South, West, and North) and the three unseen directions – Above, Below, and Within – and explains how each of these seven directions represents a specific path on the spiritual journey. In the East, we encounter the first stirrings of the spirit; in the South, the healing of relationships; in the West, we work to build self-esteem; in the North, we learn wisdom and the opening of the heart; Above represents the world of spirit; Below, the earth; Within, full awareness of the present moment. Most people will walk these paths in sequence. Some will never make it through all seven. Many will continue to move forward but continue to double back on earlier paths until they get things rights. But for those willing to walk all seven paths, there is the great reward of being able to see the world with the soaring vision of an eagle, fully aware and present to meet life’s challenges with vision, wisdom and purpose.

wonderful book,
By
This review is from: Dancing The Dream (Paperback)
Great book! There's so much in here I barely know where to start. I had been feeling out of balance when I first picked up this book a year or so ago. It really spoke me me through the title, I knew nothing of Jamie Sams other than the medicine cards, before picking up this book. I love it. There is so much spurituality and philosophy in this book, it took me some time to read (plus the font size is small :) Through the book, Jamie takes us through seven sacred paths and with each one opens us to new ideas/levels of understanding in terms of recognizing and indeed dancing our dream, being true to ourselves - its just amazing. There's a poem in here by Jamie that rings in my head on days when work gets the best of me and I'm off my own sacred path....it starts out "teach me how to gather, the fragments of my soul..." Oh such a wonderful book. Its written honestly and openly, in an almost conversational way which makes understanding the ideas that much more enjoyable. She shares personal stories to give context and examples throughout the book. Its just terrific!
