The medicine wheel is often used in ceremonies or teachings to guide people toward wholeness. It serves as a reminder to care for the body, mind, spirit, and emotions equally, since neglecting one affects all. For many, it is a visual way to teach balance in daily life. Some teachings expand beyond the traditional four parts, such as Mother Earth (below green), Father Sky (above blue), and the Self at the center of the wheel.
