Dr. Lewis Mehl-Madrona, a Native American healer and author of the wonderful book, Coyote Medicine. He is currently the Coordinator for Integrative Psychiatry and System Medicine for the Program in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona College of Medicine in Tucson.
His website:
Native American medicine has been practiced on the North American continent for at least 10,000 years. When Europeans arrived in North America, Native people of this continent were a healthy lot. Plagues and epidemics from Europe soon changed that, but do not mitigate against the effectiveness of Native American methods for attaining long-term survival and avoiding chronic disease. Conventional medicine has lost this wisdom for transforming illness into health through mind-body-spirit integration - a fundamental concept among Native North Americans and most of the remainder of the indigenous world. Conventional psychotherapies have also fallen short of their ability to transform people's lives. They have parceled out therapeutic time in hourly increments in frequencies of once or twice weekly. Weekly one-hour appointments or even yoga classes before work allow us to address only our most critical and immediate concerns. The time needed for inner exploration, for personal transformation, and for the exploration of how personal issues, nutrition, family problems or spiritual matters affect our health is sorely lacking.

Uplifting Evolutionary Ideas: Indigenous Cosmology - From Left Field to Center Stage
I would like to share my journey with indigenous elders and cultures throughout the United States, Mexico and Africa that led to the development of a worldview I have been implementing in my life for 25 years. I believe indigenous cosmology is important and relevant in the world today and would like to share these ideas with you. The field of quantum physics now “proves” what indigenous peoples have known for millennia. This column will point out how we can use the principles found in indigenous cosmology and quantum physics to transform our lives and our systems.
From my 15 year association with visionary Native American elders of the Americas and my extended visits with the Hopi in Arizona, the Wabanaki of Maine, the Ute of Colorado, the Lakota of South Dakota and the Maya, Huichol, Tarahumara of Mexico and the Kalahari Bushmen of South Africa I caught a glimpse of a reality based on assumptions radically different from those I was raised with. I discovered a conscious, loving, interconnected, abundant universe. I sat in conversation with people who remembered the beginning, experienced the present and could see into the future. It occurred to me that if these people see and experience what I have come to call an “expanded reality” then why can’t I - why can’t everyone. My reality, where what these elders experienced on an everyday basis was called phenomena, superstition, magic and discounted as unreal or inapplicable to life in the 20th century, became untenable for me. Especially when I became a mother and it was my responsibility to teach my children the nature of things so they could become contributory members to the evolving human condition.
I have always believed in the human potential. Early in my life I was struck by extraordinary acts of love displayed by significant people in the world - I remember it was Florence Nightengale who triggered this knowing in me.
I believe there is a life of beauty, balance and harmony awaiting the human race and the path to this life is within the grasp of each of us, in fact, it is within each of us, in our dreams, our hopes, our highest aspirations. It merely awaits our taking up the courage to walk these ideas in our daily lives through our choice to honor our hearts and our spirits.
It is our lack of understanding of the nature of this love that has us see it as not love. The nature of unconditional love is that it MUST give everything that is asked of it. Our assumptions are our requests. Below you will see the “requests” given this energy of love by the two paradigms: the path in balance, the path out of balance.
The concepts below reflect an understanding of an alignment with the Universal Laws of perfect balance, abundance, harmony and win/win. When we choose to implement them in our lives we will let go of fear, separation and doubt and move into total trust of a universe driven by unconditional love.
Respect and reverence for all of life and the gifts each being brings -
vs. Dominance of concern for profit
Trust in the love of a Higher Power manifested in all action -
vs. Fear, doubt
Living in balance with the rhythms of life -

Understanding the interrelatedness of all things and all actions -
vs. Separation
An understanding of the co-creative power of thought-
vs. Random Coincidence
Equality between all aspects of life -
vs. Human dominance
Incorporation of the metaphysical into physical reality -
vs. Bound to the limits of physical reality
Sharing -
vs. Hoarding or Saving
Concern for the common good -
vs. Individualism at the expense of the common good.
