Next, we move into the powerful direction of the West. The West is the place of healing old
wounds and bringing your emotional body into balance. It is a place of great healing, and also a time of beginning to
face some of your dark side. The shamanic philosophy is that you cannot get rid of your dark side, but rather you
can acknowledge it and come into balance with it. Then your darkside does not have as much influence over
your life as it once did.
Finally,
we move to the North, the place of gaining wisdom. The North is the place of gratitude and acceptance of past mistakes,
either yours or others. Black Bear said this about the directions, "If you're waiting and waiting for
the right time to begin, you're stuck in the East. If you want it all now, you're stuck in the South.
If you want it in a certain way, you're stuck in the West. If you didn't do it good enough, you're stuck
in the North."
If you're ready to make a big
step forward in your life, this is the class for you.
