Its wood was used for the doors of sacred temples and burned in cleansing ceremonies for purification. In addition\, cedar has a long history of use in indigenous sweat lodge ceremonies\, and the tree was thought to house important Gods and be an entrance to higher spiritual realms. \nCedar is first and foremost a medicine of protection. When first moving in\, it is often used to cleanse a home\, inviting unwanted spirits to leave and protecting a person\, place\, or object from unwanted influences. In addition\, cedar is often used in the sweat lodge ceremony. A few pinches are thrown on the red-hot rocks\, immediately sparking into a yellow glow and releasing their aroma. The smoke of burning cedar attracts good spirits and eliminates negative energies. \nCedar is also one of the four sacred plants of the indigenous American Indian Medicine Wheel and represents the Southern direction. The other plants contained in the Medicine Wheel are white sage representing the West\, sweetgrass representing the North\, and tobacco representing the East.

He argues this destruction will continue until Americans learn to heal the generational anguish of white supremacy\, which is deeply embedded in all our bodies. Our collective agony doesn’t just affect African Americans. White Americans suffer their own secondary trauma as well. So do blue Americans—our police.\nMy Grandmother’s Hands is a call to action for all of us to recognize that racism is not about the head\, but about the body\, and introduces an alternative view of what we can do to grow beyond our entrenched racialized divide.\nThis book paves the way for a new\, body-centered understanding of white supremacy—how it is literally in our blood and our nervous system. It offers a step-by-step solution—a healing process—in addition to incisive social commentary.\nResmaa Menakem\, MSW\, LICSW\, is a therapist with decades of experience currently in private practice in Minneapolis\, MN\, specializing in trauma\, body-centered psychotherapy\, and violence prevention. He has appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show and Dr. Phil as an expert on conflict and violence. Menakem has studied with bestselling authors Dr. David Schnarch (Passionate Marriage) and Dr. Bessel van der Kolk (The Body Keeps the Score). He also trained at Peter Levine’s Somatic Experiencing Trauma Institute.\n~Happy Reading~\nAllicia Waukau-Butler\nnwbcmpls@gmail.com\n(612) 816-3348
