My perspective on the Medicine Wheel of the Heart

There is an ancient teaching ingrained into the indigenous peoples

of the earth, and it is so powerful and contains the true meaning

of being human. This teaching is known as the Medicine Wheel.

Since the existence of indigenous peoples, this teaching has

been passed along in its true undiluted form, from generation to

generation, and still exists today.

I am aware and believe that all races started as indigenous, with

highly principled teachings which belong to them and no one

else. Here in my homeland Cyprus, we still have strong roots to

our ancient past, but the story tellers of old have been forgotten.

I am not being disrespectful to the indigenous peoples of these

ancient teachings, but what I am writing about is the Medicine

Wheel of the Heart which exists within us all. Our challenge is to

penetrate the layers which have covered these ancient teachings

and to do our best to access the true meaning of what it means

to being human.

A single thought within the Heart will blossom and then flower.This thought of creativity was a gift from the Creator. It is where all creation starts and returns to, for the source does not exist in one place, but is everywhere.

We have a Heart, there is one for every living thing. The question is, do we wish to be alone or walk the path of enlightenment with another? Is it enough

to have family and friends to satisfy our cravings for love and attention? In time

we will awake to the knowing that love is everywhere and in everyone.

Who can

teach us to have this understanding in life and of others? All that we feel and

strive for within our Heart has been born from the Hearts of our Mothers and

Grandmothers. We pass all of this emotional content on to our children. It is the

great infusion of our Hearts.

We are born wrapped in the sacred cloth of life; it is called the veil and is

everywhere. It has a delicate woven weblike structure allowing our Medicine

Wheel to lie upon this fabric of life with each of our 108 emotions finding their

place with our Heart at the centre. It covers our entire being. Every emotion we

collect from others has to pass through our veil, and some of these emotions

will become trapped in between the spaces formed by the strands of our finely

crafted cloth of life. There they will remain until one day, and while walking our

Medicine Wheel, we stumble across them. They appear to be heavy as they have

collected many layers of dust and cause our veil to sag and distort our Medicine

Wheel. Our Heart is aware of everything that tries to pass through our veil, be it

good or not, our Heart will let us know, and then leave it up to us to decide.
