About the Book
The author started learning from his Nativa American medicine teachers about the Good Medicine at the age of four and continued that study for five decades. The author began to document the teachings at the age of sixteen. During the author’s late teens he studied “Curandismo” and later in life finally figured out that the Good Medicine was his personal medicine path. The author describes his personal life lessons and how to apply his medicine wheel and “Beginning Gift” to his continuing learning and experiences in his personal life. This book describes the author’s mistakes and weaknesses in daily life and how those weaknesses can be cultivated into strengths using ancient Nativa American wisdom from four medicine teachers on his medicine path. This book will make you laugh, make you think and provide resources for the reader to continue upon their own personal medicine path.
