The Medicine Wheel is a way of gaining access to the very essence of existence. “Four Quarters of the World” ie. the circle and the cross of the medicine wheel is the basic symbol which is also seen in other natural traditions of the world. 

​Such a wheel is supposed to enhance physical, mental, emotional and spiritual understanding of nature and the spirit world. Each of the sections of this wheel is associated with particular elements and aspects of life thus corelating the corporal with the spirit world.

East, West, North and South of the Wheel: 

The east is regarded as the place of birth and the west is regarded as the place of death. The east is also regarded as the place of the male and the west as the place of the female. In addition, yellow color is associated with the east side and black color is associated with the west.  In addition, Fire is the element of the east and this east section is associated with the plant people and spirit.

Similarly, Earth is the element of the west and this west section is associated with the animal people and actions. In a similar manner, white color is associated with the north and air as well as animal people can be placed here in the north.

Plants can be placed in this south portion of the Wheel, and since plants are placed in this part, water is also placed here. Green or Red color is associated with the south of the Wheel.

​A person’s physical body is supposed to belong to the west portion and his spirit in the east portion. Similarly, thoughts belong to the north portion and feelings belong to the south portion of the Wheel.
The Medicine Wheel is not just a sacred symbol but is a sacred place… It can be used in lieu of an altar or can be placed on an altar. 

Shamans believe that we all live in a middle world between the upper and lower worlds and are in the center of this Medicine Wheel, surrounded by the four different directions and with the sky always above us and the ground or earth always beneath us.

    Our Journey to "Oneness" 

    It is a journey and like all journeys, it is set with many moments of challenges and accomplishments. 

    But when one's heart is true and the decision is made to "be the best that one can be", then each challenge merely seems like a stepping stone, to be overcome to reach and experience new heights of existential living.

    Hope you find these notes inspiring enough to initiate your own journey...
     
    ​What else will you find here??

    Here you will find thoughts, ideas, musings and  insights which make us reflect on the nature of our life and reality. I hope that these will connect with you. 


    These articles address the various insights, lessons and at times modern-interpretations of techniques and methods of ancient wisdom (particularly Vedic Culture) and also Shamanism, Buddhism, Druid- Paganism, Sufi Islam and Taoism. 

    It tries to bring the wisdom of ancient, insightful ways to benefit a modern, evolving and conscious lifestyle.

    Frankly it brings many of the spiritual concepts to  a "real  life" level!!

    Think of this guidance as "Spirituality for the Rest of Us"... folks who  have families,  careers,  material goals & ambitions  and so on... the ones  who cannot simply extrapolate what  typical spiritual gurus and guides say, when they live special monastic lives.  


    Each one of us may have different life situations but ultimately we are all ONE life and we all go thru these myriads of situations, experiences, thoughts and feelings at some point or other in time. 

    Read along and see how these lessons, insights and guidance can help you to chalk out your own path to 'One-ness'- where you are successful, healthy and Happy.   
    ​

    Do let me know of your experiences.

    I would love to read about them and promise to respond as much as possible.
