In the summer of 1987 on my way to California I visited a friend in New York. He invited me to accompany him to Pineridge Reservation in South Dakota where he planned to go on a traditional vision quest, and this journey changed my life. I lived in Berlin, Germany at the time and had been suffering since 4 years from severe panic attacks. After participating in a wonderful healing ceremony for a little girl who had been born with panic in her soul, and could never be approached by anyone but her mother, and who now smiled radiantly at us, free of fear - after this miracle the medicine man offered to do a ceremony for me. I was surprised. Why, did I need a healing? So used was I to my suffering that I could not imagine why I should need any help. And besides, out there on the reservation there was so much going on that was new and miraculous for me that I never had a panic attack. But since I did not want to disappoint him after this generous offer I agreed, and after the ceremony he conducted I never suffered another panic attack. In addition the book contains the medicine man's story, the fascinating account of a vision quest, and the very touching story of a man who was healed from Hodgkin's Disease after his doctors had given up on him.
