TEACHINGS FROM ONE OF OUR BEST

It is rather amusing to read the negative reviews of Brook's work. The majority of them are written by people with a fairly strong racist agenda - either racial purists who believe that anyone with Native blood should not teach non-Natives or people who believe that Native teachers should only teach the reader's expectations of Native shamanism. Brooke has never fit into the restrictive roles of these two types of people. She is and always has been a member of this Earth community first, her work a life-long process of speaking for those who cannot speak for themselves. This book is one outgrowth of that work, a work spanning decades. If you want to read about Brooke's training in the more shamanistic sense of it, you should look at Shamanic Voices by Joan Halifax. If you want to hear about Brooke's process, the things she thinks important for our world now, and the processes she thinks can help, then this book and Buffalo Woman Comes Singing are good ones. Brooke has helped many people, through her teachings, and her example, to find a way to live that transcends negative stereotypes, that transcends the reductionism that so many of us struggle with, and that reconnects all of us to the soul force and intelligence that is inherent in the world and that is our birthright to know.

Good tools to work for good

If you are interested in various ways and techniques to clear your own energy field, this book will give you an excellent starting point. Also the author gives fully referenced footnotes and bibliography so you can go back to sources from which she gleans. She has a wide scope on her lens, so don't be surprised if there is more in this book than you could ever put to use. Good for the beginner on the path, but also good for those more travelled. The story she weaves about the Earth Ascension and the Rainbow Bridge and the End of Time fits in with many other stories I've heard from various tellers over the last 20 or so years. So there is resonance. Once I picked it up I did not put it down until I was to the end, and I hope to acquire a couple of copies to hand around to others of loving intention. Peace.

An exquisite work of literary genius!

This book is one of the most profound and well-written texts I have placed my hands on in years. Words cannot describe the beauty with which it has been written. The author obviously has her heart and head in the places of Divine Presence and that is clear within every letter of this work. Ironically, I purchased this book five years ago and only recently picked it up to read, finding it difficult to put down. Realizing that "when the pupil is ready the teacher will come," I know this was the right time for me to read this work, lending time to my own evolution placed it in my hands to read at the perfect opportunity to appreciate the gift residing within its pages. It could only be assessed in a negative fashion by those not fully blossomed to receive its rich nector. Thank you Brooke Medicine Eagle for investing your life energy in the creation of this amazing work and for the courage to place your reputation on the line for the sake of Sacred Truth.

In the celebrated Buffalo Woman Comes Singing, Brooke Medicine Eagle revealed her extraordinary spiritual odyssey from her first guided steps on the medicine path to her ongoing work as one of the most respected Native American teachers of the modern era. Now she shares a groundbreaking approach to spiritual transformation--by revitalizing the powerful ancient ritual The Ghost Dance.

Four centuries ago, when European invaders were ruthlessly plundering indigenous cultures, a Paiute tribesman received a vision of hope and resurrection, given by Father Spirit, to help survivors of the onslaught create a beautiful new life in the face of defeat, broken dreams, and death. That vision was celebrated in an ecstatic ghost dance honoring those who had perished.

Brooke Medicine Eagle explains how and why we are profoundly connected to The Ghost Dance. As she herself becomes initiated into the "illusion of death" and the wisdom of "heart-centered ascension," she teaches us how to confront our deepest fears, overcome our resistance to change, and renew our lives. Through prayer, music, and dance, Medicine Eagle provides us with the tools to bring about the final fulfillment of this profound ritual--by living in harmony with earth's rhythms, practicing sustainable living, honoring and sharing with all our relations, and freeing ourselves from the burden of possessions and possessiveness.

Perceptive, practical, and luminous, The Last Ghost Dance is a call to action, a challenge to raise up from the ashes of our desecrated planet a world that welcomes the full flowering of the spirit--and a new age of abundance, love, and peace.
