Book excerpt: I don't consider this a self help book, but more of a "Spirit Help" book of counsel or thoughts for consideration.The title is self explanatory in a way. However the term "listening to the wind" is from the Native American tradition, as is speaking from the heart, or the one eye of the heart (Chante Ista). My view of listening to the wind is listening to what nature, the universe, and your higher self is telling you, or maybe telling you to pass on to others. Speaking from the heart is conveying the messages you get from listening to the wind. It can also mean speaking straight and not with a forked tongue.You travel the road of life and you write about things, and maybe these things will strike a chord with others. I leave it to Great Spirit as to whether or not this is meaningful for you. My intention is that some kind of healing will take place from the thoughts that I am offering for consideration. I believe in the old ways where a counsel of elders would sit around a campfire and speak their thoughts. Take it in that spirit. So no table of contents, open the book to any page or read in any order.
