Sharing the Medicine of Love presents original ceremonies and daily practices of expressing love to children, family and friends. Based on Native American ritual, the ceremonies begin with ‘Moontime’ for young pubescent girls; others give solace to the grieving and depressed; the types of ceremonies are limitless. In addition, techniques are discussed to encourage easy dialogue in our daily lives, leading to open communication where there may have been none.

As a society, we seem to increasingly ignore essential elements in our personal relationships, like how to compliment and show respect to one another, how to truly listen to the people in our lives. Above all we have forgotten how to demonstrate, in some meaningful way, the love we have for each other. At one time we knew that loving was the most important expression of our being; we knew when to offer words of admiration, encouragement and gestures of affection. This book asks you to awaken old traditions and renew these practices. It also asks you to embrace new traditions within your families to enhance the bonds of love in our lives.

In Sharing the Medicine of Love, we offer you new ways to enrich the celebrations of love in your life. We suggest new traditions that you can replicate with your families and friends. If you choose to recreate these celebrations, we believe it will benefit all who participate in your life. Those in your circle of love will have a richer understanding of how much their life means to you, to all those they meet, and to themselves.

We invite you to join our circle of infinite love, hope, and harmony. We will introduce unique ideas and suggest ways to help spread soul-nourishing love with those who enter your world. The ‘sharing ceremonies’ we have initiated were born in the ancient traditions of Val’s dreams and Native American heritage. They are simple, thoughtful, and inspired.

Sharing the Medicine of Love is offered as a guidepost for those who seek to share our path of spiritual awakening, acknowledging the importance of each and every being present in this world. Our wish is to create a river of love that flows endlessly from our hearts and yours-one with endless possibilities for humankind.
