Synopsis:

Traditional Cherokee teachings passed down by author Michael Garrett's great-grandfather instruct us that all things are connected, have purpose, and are worthy of respect and reverence. Through stories of the Sacred Fire, the Talking Circle, the Giveaway, and Community, these stories counsel us to keep our feet on Mother Earth, our eyes and minds above the tree tops, and our spirit with the Great Universal Spirit.

Truly Awesome

Reviewer: A reader from NC

This is a wonderful book! I fell into it immediately. It's written in a manner that is informal and very easy to understand. It took me from tears of joy on one page to laughing out loud on another. This book has helped me to heal, to face fears, to become more balanced, and to look at things from a different perspective... and for that I am forever grateful. I highly recommend it!!!!

Important messages for people and their environment

Reviewer: Bob from Reno, NV USA

Garrett is a student and teacher of the Cherokee Way as well as a professor of counselor education. His message is one of balance, and he illustrates his views with ancient Native anecdotes. I read this for my multicultural counseling class, and it was easily one of the best books for examining my personal worldview. This is easy reading with an important message for individuals and their environment. Of most importance: acknowledging how humans are interconnected with all things (and, in my view, therefore no better than anything else)

Refreshing!

Reviewer: Two Bears from tennessee, USA

This book is a continuation of the earlier book "Medicine of the Cherokee: The Way of Right Relationship" written by Michael and his father J.T. Garrett.

I would recommend that people also read the earlier work because "Walking on the Wind" fails to discuss the totem animals used in the sacred circle (more commonly called the medicine wheel).

This book is clearly written and a fun read.

This book is BEAUTIFUL from the illustrations to the text to the spiritual journey Michael takes you on. The ancient wisdom in this book will ring true to every human who reads it - no matter where you are from. I love the Native Americian teachings, and this is one of the best examples I have read.
