The first medicine wheels were stone artifacts built by Native Americans who lived in what is now the northwestern U.S. and southwestern Canada. The famous psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Carl Jung used the circle or mandala in treatment. This tradition has been used to enhance health and spirituality for centuries. Most modern versions of the medicine wheel emphasize the need for harmony and balance, both within oneself and in more universal terms. The wheel may symbolize the ephemeral nature of life, ongoing personal growth and the desire for wholeness. Each of the four spokes has a unique meaning for every individual — stages of life or the four seasons, for example. The center represents perfect balance between the four surrounding elements.
The medicine wheel is especially helpful for individuals who find it challenging to meditate indoors, but who thrive outdoors. Clients are able to connect with nature and honor difficult feelings and insights as they arise. Moving outside a traditional therapeutic setting can promote growth and help people feel grounded and connected to something bigger than themselves. The medicine wheel in its natural setting beckons to clients to be authentic at their own pace.
The Medicine Wheel helps people understand the cyclic nature of life. Within the wheel, people can find pleasure, addiction, depression, anxiety or ungrounded thinking as part of their individual human experience. The circle can also help them realize difficult aspects of life are deeply connected to positive ones. Benefits include:
