The Medicine Wheel journey

Open enrollment is closed for this session.

The Medicine Wheel is a sacred manifestation tool. When you walk through it you can find what you are looking for. 

Whether it is to restore wholeness in your life or creating that perfect job the Medicine Wheel helps you navigate through the energy of creation.

Our medicine is a combination of our experiences-strengths-gifts and talents. The Medicine Wheel helps us navigate through our experiences. 

Not all Medicine Wheels are the same. Not one is better than the other.  The intention one holds makes the difference.

Hundreds of Medicine Wheels created by our ancestors have been found throughout the world.

Stonehenge, Twelve Apostles Stone Circle, Rujm el-Hiri, Boscawen-Un, The Merry Maidens, Castlerigg...

Symbolically, a circle represents the completion of cycles, transitions, potentials and a movement that never ends towards self-realization. 

The circle protects us against chaos and unpredictability and invites an element of “trusting the Universe/God.” It symbolizes the natural order and progression that inspires us to keep going. 

There are many levels of the Medicine Wheel. I will try and give a simple explanation of the wheel as I see it.

East is the great void, the unknown, the quantum field of pure potential, darkness before the dawn. The direction of enlightenment and knowledge of self.

Let go of your search and be at peace with the “I don’t know”. The “I don’t know” is the space for Spirit/God to come through.

East allows us to let go of everything we think we know to be open for the new experience.

Each Cardinal direction has a negative and positive pole.

East negative pole is “chaos”.

East positive pole is “peace”.

East is about trusting in the divine timing. We cannot “think” our way to the divine idea. It is received by trusting and feeling safe where you are. You feel at peace because you trust the divine will open the right doors for you. 

Some may think they have to be in peace without chaos. 

Ego says: “Once everything falls into place, I will find peace.”

Spirit/God says: “Find peace and everything will fall into place.”

Surrender to the moment, let Jesus take the wheel.

Once we are at peace we can move into the South. 

South positive pole is feeling "supported”.

South negative pole is feeling "trapped”.

The negative feelings are when you worry. "What did I create? How am I going to get out of this?"

In the South we heal ourselves. If we must forgive or mend something, we do it in the South. That includes self-forgiveness. This is the Path to the Inner Child. Accessing that part of ourselves that uses the faith, trust and innocence allows us to heal.

West is where we hold our intention.

West positive pole is “clear vision”.

West negative pole is “obsession”. 

If we are in obsession or confusion, we have forgotten Spirit/God is in charge. If we have been inspired, we can claim it in the West. 

We can claim the “what”, the inspiration. Spirit/God is in control of the “how”. 

Trouble comes when we are attached to the outcome.

West removes our limiting beliefs. Example: you wake up and say “I want…”, but question how it will be possible. This is where you allow the divine to take care of the “how”. The direction of the West deepens this knowing.

You are only encouraged to take the next “inspired step”. This is the North. 

North positive pole will feel “effortless”.

North negative pole we feel like a “struggle”. 

The direction of the North is where we apply the wisdom and understanding that we have gained throughout our  lives in a meaningful manner and become our true selves.

With every inspired step, we go right back to the East and surrender.  We receive in the South. We have clear vision in the West and are ready for the next inspired step in the North.

Things to remember:

Trust in the divine timing.

This too shall pass.

Listen to the message not the messenger. 

Be open to the next inspired step.
