Counseling
In Bear Heart's tradition, the medicine people never call themselves "medicine people" because they don't make medicine. The medicine is already here and they have certain knowledge that can put things together to bring about results. Likewise, they don't call themselves "healers" or take credit when a patient they work with gets better. They think of themselves as helpers and caretakers of sacred knowledge since the only one who can heal is the Creator. When meeting with Bear Heart, a gift of tobacco is the traditional way to ask for his services. This is the first step in asking for his help since it honors his medicine ways and those of his elders. The suggested donation for private sessions is $50-$100, as your lifestyle permits. It is never called "payment", but it is considered an exchange for medicine ways. Bear Heart will not turn anyone away because of a lack of funds. Someone may come and tell the truth about their financial situation and might split wood, clean the yard, or even help Regina in the house in exchange for Bear Heart's medicine ways. Bear Heart also will do medicine ways in exchange for professional services. Bear Heart is
available for private, individual counseling sessions in the Albuquerque area or
in the areas when he is traveling. You should click on "Schedule"
to see his prior commitments, then go to "Contact"
to discuss scheduling a private session with Bear Heart. These private sessions
frequently fill early when he is on the road, so it is important to sign up for
them as soon as possible.
