From the Publisher:
I had this book pegged wrong. Something about the title, I think, though I can't say exactly what. I was expecting more history and less spiritual autobiography, but what I got--what this book is--is a deeply affecting invitation to a physical and spiritual path. Brooke Medicine Eagle knows whereof she speaks. Anyone interested in learning more about Native American spirituality has found the right book. With the current popularity of all forms of European-based mythology and spirituality, we in the so-called New World tend to forget the spiritual legacy of this land and its native peoples. Brooke Medicine Eagle gently takes you down the path of her own life, revealing how your path can and may intersect the life she has chosen. The way of life that she lays before the reader is life-affirming and life-enriching for the individual and the planet.

From Library Journal:
Medicine Eagle, raised on a Crow reservation in Montana, here elucidates a procedure of spiritual growth for women complete with exercises and instructions. The core of the process follows Native American religious philosophy, but includes layers of astrology, numerology, pop psychology, and mysticism. The author relates her own spiritual journey in detailed scenes reminiscent of Carlos Castaneda. The purpose of spiritual growth is to prepare oneself for the coming new time in which all peoples and creatures will become connected in an unprecedented manner. Women, the author believes, will play a crucial role in this planetary transition. Essential for Native American collections, while feminists and New Agers will also find something of interest here.
