The Medicine Wheel reflects colors, phases in a life cycle, symbols, clans and animal spirits as life representation. A healing and teaching medicine wheel is always moving. Its colors are interchangeable and interactive within the wheel. A clients healing can occur in any quadrant or phase of their life. One's healing can be physical, psychological, spiritual, or emotional. Whatever area is being affected will affect each and every area of a person's well-being [wellness]. By extension a community will also be affected by its peoples healing. Each medicine wheel is as unique as an Elder and their Indigenous [Aboriginal] culture and values being taught. The medicine wheel is not a replacement for necessary medical or therapeutic interventions, it is a process that arguments wholistic healing.
