“At its most fundamental level, the Medicine Wheel teaches that in order to live a good life, we must show up and engage in it. We must be mindful of how we treat each other, Mother Earth, as well as being responsible and accountable in all our commitments.  Mindfulness, which means staying in the present and acting in non-judgmental ways, creates an entrance to our souls, where our life’s journey starts on a path of seeking the truth of our existence. Medicine Wheel equation:  Mindfulness + Courage + Wisdom + Accountability = Emotional, Physical, Mental and Spiritual Resilience!” http://www.shannonthunderbird.com/medicine_wheel_teachings.htm

in case that’s a little too deep for you here’s a metaphor: picture everyone having their own invisible “tire” that is divided into 4 parts just like the medicine wheel, in order for you to move forward in life you need to have the right amount of air in each of the 4 parts. Take the “spiritual” part of your tire, if you have no spirituality in your life [what ever it may be] you essentially have a flat tire…but at the same time there is such a thing as too much causing that part of your tire to be too full; it’s importants to find the happy ballance to keep you rolling forward ;)
