Connecting with the Indigenous Path

In the 2011 written words of Malidoma Some from "What it Means to be Indigenous" he says, "So, indigenous is a kind of connection that makes us one with Nature, Fire, Water, Earth, Mineral and the Ancestors. Inside such a connection is a being that shows deep respect and reverance to all that is."

Meaningfully explore as well as embrace your connection for health, well-being and the fresh breath of transformation.

Give birth to your truth!

Namaste.

Featured Quotations

In the words of a Native Healer "I am not going to tell you that I will heal you. I don't presume to have the power to do that, but if you are willing and with your permission, I can serve as the conduit for the power of healing and perhaps that power will flow through my hands into you, and it will help you heal. It will work with the medicine of the root and help you heal, but that is only part of it. The other part is within you."

This is from "The Book of Ceremonies: A Native Way of Honoring and Living the Sacred" by Gabriel Horn.

In the words of a Yakima Healer "Ceremonies are so a person may speak from the heart and know his thoughts are respected. I have a bright light that I enter when I do a healing ceremony. In the scientific world you go from A to B. When I perform a ceremony, the light goes up and down, sideways and all around."
