Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

In her first book, Ywahoo seeks to show that her native Cherokee tradition of respect for the Earth, for human beings and for a Great Spirit can help modern America find strength during a time when many fear nuclear war, crime, pollution, loneliness and disease. She points out universal elements in Cherokee customs. Cherokee mythology, for example, includes a creation story, 12 tribes, a virgin birth and a divine trinity. Moreover, the Cherokees practiced meditation and used crystals for healing and guidance. Unfortunately, Ywahoo has not found an appealing voiceher writing often lapses into New Age jargon, political rhetoric or dry academic prose ("Desire to manifest Peacekeeping Mind sets one on a course of conflict resolution"). It leaves one wondering how much of the material is Cherokee and how much is California.

Book Description

Dhyani Ywahoo is a member of the traditional Etowah Band of the Eastern Tsalagi (Cherokee) Nation. Trained by her grandparents, she is the twenty-seventh generation to carry the ancestral wisdom of the Ywahoo lineage. Charged with the duty to rekindle the fire of clear mind and right relationship in these changing times, she is a guide to all who walk the Beauty Road. In her first book she shares with readers these precious oral teachings of her people.

Voices of Our Ancestors teaches practical ways of transforming obstacles to happiness and good relationships, fulfilling one's life purpose, manifesting peace and abundance, and renewing the planet. It includes meditations; healing rituals; instructions for working with crystals; and teachings on how to practice generosity and harmony.

According to the ancient Native American calendar, we have recently entered a new cycle of Thirteen Heavens, a new age in which we have the opportunity to let go of aggression and fear and begin to live a life of enlightened consciousness. With a voice that is powerful, prophetic, and compassionate, Dhyani Ywahoo calls on us to become "Peacekeepers" in our hearts and in the world.

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Voices of Ancestors (Paperback)

I have had a friend's copy of this book for six years and finally needed to buy a copy of my own. The writing is clear and rich. Each page is filled with information and insight that I would find hard to live without. I will be reading this book for the rest of my life.

"dstearnzy" (chicago, il United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Voices of Ancestors (Paperback)

very very interesting book. granted it has its share of grandiose conclusions or assumptions. many rituals and other defining instruments. but the heart and soul of this book is beautiful. it could have been the timing of when i read it. but the one thing i can say, is it got this rat off his wheel. some of her perspectives are just simply beautiful and oh so profound. it left me with the feeling of very benignly putting a match to the american dream. which i did hehehehehe
