This work exposes us to the Amerindian world view, offering six awarenesses and six practices. Awarenesses, such as being in touch with the "shamanic bone soul" and actions such as "mandalic walking" can gift us with an enriching and complimentary world view. Drawing upon the author's own symbolic experiences and after years of study, he presents the essence of what he has learned. This work especially draws upon two recent projects, interpreting markings on a stone tablet found by the Shenandoah River in Virginia, as well as from a stone formation at Penn Bluff, Alabama, both of which resonate with Eastern Woodland symbolism. We are invited to enter into an Indigenous worldview, so we may gain a more expansive sense possibilities in the universe and live a fuller life.
