A Medicine Walk* is a day's journey upon the face of the earth. It is a mirror within which signs and symbols of your inward journey are reflected back to you. During the medicine walk, certain spirits or powers of nature, which typify the nature of your own "medicine power," are attracted by and reveal themselves to you. With your observation they weave a mythical or symbolic story which illuminates direction for your life choices, transitions and inherent gifts.
The Medicine Walk begins early in the day and occurs in a natural place where the walker travels north, south, east or west depending on where one feels intuitively led. No food is taken on this day. Preparation the evening before includes getting a good night's sleep as an important dream may arise.
