Medicine wheels...

Sacred circles have always played a major role in Native American spiritual practices, as well as those of many other cultures across the world.

The "medicine wheel" is a physical representation of the sacred circle that encompasses all life. It is an outer manifestation of an inner force.

In its deepest sense, the medicine wheel is the pulsating cycle of energy that infuses all matter--animate and inanimate. It is symbolic of the mandala of the universe in which everything created has its appropriate place.

Medicine wheels reinforce not only the sacredness and power of place, but also people and their journeys through life.
