In the Sweet Medicine SunDance (SMSD) Path , the healed, or healthy, person is not just someone whose body is free from disease. True health encompasses our emotions, mind, spirit, and sexuality as well as our body. According to the Elders, our human bodies are designed to live 135 years, yet our actual lifespans are shorter.

Disease as a Teacher

This is a result of energy choices that accelerate cellular aging, and create stress and imbalances that lead to sickness, illness and disease. Disease can be understood as a teacher that we call in to learn some particular lesson or thing.

Balance in all Aspects

When we speak of healing, we mean coming into balance in all our aspects as well as with the natural world, and into alignment with one’s true self. We are able to see how we created the imbalance and can take responsibility for our own healing (and our own lives).

The SMSD healing paradigm is a shamanic way of approaching healing; however, it is not a “traditional” way.  It incorporates knowledge from several shamanic paths as well as western science. It is a multifaceted approach to healing that addresses all aspects of us as humans: emotional, mental, spiritual, and sexual/soul force as well as the physical.
