Abstract
"Indian Medicine Power is based on personal research and extensive interviews with medicine people of numerous tribes. Through these accounts of medicine people, Brad Steiger demonstrates the power of ancient medical practices in the modern world. As more than an objective observer, the author was himself initiated into the medicine lodge of the Wolf Clan of the Seneca Tribe.
Some of the topics the author explores include:
- The healing powers of herbs, prayers and crystals
- The nature and importance of the vision quest
- The power of prophecy
- Meditation techniques
- Rituals that enhance psychic powers
Indian Medicine Power treats medicine culture and religion as a practical system of thought, not merely as folklore and magic. It shows how medicine power can help us discover our individual sources of strength and achieve purpose in our lives."--Back cover.
