2In A Life in Service, Mala Spotted Eagle shares the knowledge of indigenous elders and his life experiences to help us see the Mother Earth in ways that can connect us to her. Open to the beauty in everything in his daily life, Mala speaks about the importance of embracing the lessons that came to him--whether easy or difficult--with loving energy. His insightful stories are told with humility and humor. Mala left us with essential wisdom to live in harmony with all life, become better caretakers of the planet, and gain a deeper sense of one's own purpose. Mala lived a life in service, which is at the core of the Native American Way of Life, the so-called Red Road. He was willing to sacrifice of himself for the greater good, helping where there was need and offering openly from his gentle heart and strong spirit. There are exciting stories of animal encounters and there are impressive stories about Medicine People. There are teachings about the importance to walk in balance on Mother Earth and teachings about how pollution in our minds creates pollution everywhere else, as all life on this planet is connected. Basic principles are shared on Native American spirituality and some of the Native ceremonies and practices are described in detail. Anyone interested in developing their own spirit and heart energy is invited to read this book to help become a better human being through raising their awareness and taking responsibility for their own actions, words and thoughts.
