Acknowledgments

Thank you Great Spirit for the gift of my life and all of the experiences that I have been granted in order to grow in wisdom and deeper understanding. Thank you to Earth Mother and to All My Relations, for it is in your beauty, the beauty of the natural world, that inspires me and, in turn, allows for all of us to remember that we are one planet, one people, one creation. I give thanks to my helpers seen and unseen, for as I go about my daily business, I realize that every step of every day is sacred. I also extend my gratitude to my teachers on the Good Red Road as well as my clients, students, family, and friends that give me feedback and insights that I otherwise would have missed. I would also like to thank all at Llewellyn Worldwide, especially my editors, who with their tireless help and patient guidance brought this book into being. I am very grateful to you, dear reader, for as you read this book and bring the Heart of the Earth Mother into your living spaces, you help to bring more beauty to life and make our world a better and happier place.

Disclaimer

It is my honor to share these teachings with you, and they are meant to empower you. However, completing them does not make you a shaman, adopt you officially into any tribe, nor give you the authorization to perform the Heart of the Earth method for others. This book barely scratches the surface of what is required to be able to give shamanic or professional advice to others in relation to clearing or setting up another persons environment, living space, or work place. Becoming a sanctioned traditional shaman takes many years of constant training under the careful guidance of a shaman and tribal elders. You would need to be trained in this technique before you could advise others. Trying to perform any of the exercises or techniques that I am giving you here for other people may cause great harm to you and to them! Please do not attempt these techniques for anyone else besides yourself or those who share your home, work space, or dorm. Eagle Skyfire; Eagle Skyfire, LLC; and Llewellyn Worldwide are not liable for any damages sustainedmental, physical, or spiritualin conjunction to using this book. Safety always comes first. Use your common sense when applying the Heart of the Earth method.

Introduction

Being in a space where we feel at home allows us to relax and be fully present. In a work place, this can be of tremendous benefit because it can allow for a group of people to feel that they have an environment conducive to supporting them in their joint endeavors. It turns a house into a home, and because the space becomes a sanctuary, it will allow you to restore your vitality, safely release the tensions of the day, and nurture yourself while envisioning how you want to build your future.

This book and the Heart of the Earth methoda way of living in harmony with the earthwas born out of my careful observation of peoples needs and that of their families and animal companions. I see a great need around me as I see people desire to create a safe place that they can call their own. For quite a few decades now I have been to countless places and successfully helped people clear these spaces of unwanted, toxic energies, resetting them so that they can promote greater health, harmony, and productivity. All too many times I have seen people feel completely disconnected from their environment, which in turn causes them to be nervous and stressed, and causes tension among each other.
