Lines and Signs~ Cultures and Centuries

The Nazca culture of Peru evolved about 300BC, they were fishermen and farmers and excellent in making pottery.. The Nazca Lines/Geoglyphs still hold much mystery.. They were not discovered until the aircraft started to fly over them in the 1920’s.

These Pictures on Google Images show us Hummingbirds, Spiders, Monkey, and they appear like a  giant calendar,in which like other indigenous cultures point to their connection to the Stars..  The Nazca lines were used for generations as early pathways to the stars. Some lines point on the horizon to where the Sun rises and the Sun sets during  equinox’s. Others seem to have no pattern until you see them in the dark in relation to the constellations group in the sky. Each Nazca figure corresponds to a constellation pattern in the sky. This has been confirmed by computer simulated research which has matched 3 points associated with the Spider to the constellation of Orion Much still remains a mystery but again here we see evidence of connection to the stars with knowledge of astronomy which was very sophisticated.   

 

 

 

 

 

 

Native American Indians also used a similar layout with the Medicine Wheel, as certain lines were aligned to the horizon and the solstice Sun.

The Bighorn Medicine Wheel is another   construction of stones created by Native American Plains Indians which is dated to be to be around 300 to 800 years old and also pointed to the rising and setting of the Sun at Summer Solstice. as well as alignments to Sirius and Orion.

Recent Deforestation of the Amazon have also uncovered more Geoglyphs as Google Earth shows Here  Which one has to conclude that these were made before the trees grew, and as some of the trees could be  well over 500 yrs old, we have to wonder what sort of civilisations were in place at that time and who created them? 

Circles and formations of stones called Megaliths can be seen all over Europe, England and Ireland, also in Peru the U.S.A. and the Canadian great plains ..  Easter Island  is also another Mystery. 

Even the scriptures that are thousands of years old contain scientific knowledge that puzzles scientists today is that the source of knowledge can most likely be tracked back to the survivors of earlier civilizations who had an understanding equal to our own today.

We think as a species we are at our height of our own evolution in regards to progression of our technological advancements , and yet Science still is at a loss to explain the Structures of Monuments such as the Pyramids or the pyramids and ruins of cities found beneath the sea, which must have belonged to civilizations thousands of years older than the Sumerian culture..

Which brings me  full circle to the Aztecs,  the Incas, and the Mayas  and the indigenous cultures of the Americas,  and the Native  American Indians,  which still puzzle scholars today.

The Mayans had to notice that the stars in the heavens slowly changed their position in the sky by what I have researched as just 1 degree in every 72 yrs. This is such a small amount, it is hardly likely to be noticed by the naked eye over such a period of time.  And they also have a calendar for Venus that is accurate within 2 hrs per 500yrs.. Science cannot easily explain away these facts..

We are taught such a narrow View of our History and it isn’t until you seek out knowledge and start to put your pieces of it together within the Jigsaw puzzle, that you see a whole different picture to one we were taught in school..

I will leave you with this thought.

In a book called “Genesis of the Cosmos, Paul La Violette writes

“If anything, the discovery of advanced science in ancient myths and lore should give us reason to pause and take a broader view of modern achievements, to realise that we may not be the first scientifically advanced culture to inhabit this Planet “

So Just who were our Ancestors?

Are you putting the pieces together of your Puzzle yet?

Cosmic Changes and Cycles

 

Astronomy has played an important role in ancient human science.. And throughout many cultures we have looked to the stars in their observations to follow ceremony and rituals.

The Navajo’s purpose of life is live in harmony with all forces and enteritis. and their creation stories if one studies them are key to unlocking many mysteries in life.

According to the Navajo perceptions there is Order in the Universe. And the Actions of people are deliberate in maintaining  harmony and balance in the world.

When that Balance is interfered with  they use ceremony to help re-establish that balance . Stories of their connection with the constellations have been passed down through generations. And they have known how to use the stars and Moon cycles to plant their seeds and harvest crops..

They refer to the Sun  the Day traveller and the Moon as the Night traveller, and our Earth Mother..and Father Sky, .. The Sun and Moon, the First man and First Woman, brought the energy of the Sun, Moon, and a crystal Star from the first World. In the second World Coyote, First Boy and First Girl were created and together they brought the knowledge of heat and light from the clear crystal to the Fourth World, ( Which is the World as we know it ) 

The Pleiades or Seven Sisters are known as the Planter, the timing of planting and cultivating are determined by the disappearance of the Planter in late Spring-early Summer..

The Lakota observed the Sun’s relationships to the constellations and performed the appropriate ceremonies. The Lakota people mirrored the Sun’s path and and moved counter clockwise through the Black Hills from one ceremony to another each one to correlated  to a different constellation.

These stories among the indigenous tribes suggest that visitations by extra-terrestrials and believe that those from the stars are their ancestors.  And when people die they go to the people among the stars.

The Twelve Poles of a Tipi represent the 12 months of a year Once a year the people take part in the ceremony of the Sun Dance, and their prayers are offered to the Holy Tree of Life. There are also Twelve Stars, The Morning Star, The Evening Star, and the seven Stars of the Big Dipper and three Stars on Orion’s Belt .

The Ancient Indigenous people were very knowledgeable in their understanding of how things worked in the Universe. They used a form of coded Mythology to try and convey their understanding. Because in many ways that ‘Knowing’ is beyond words..  Much like Sacred Geometry and why physics is heavily dependant upon Maths. there are certain things that cannot be explained in words unless you convert to some symbol form.

The indigenous did this in their story telling and rituals and many different indigenous tribes around our world also do the same as they pass down their knowledge from one generation to the next. They understood and understand today the need of Balancing Nature, they understand that Nature has her Cycles, and so do we.. They showed respect for Nature giving thanks and showing gratitude through ceremony and prayer.. They took only what was needed..

Which lead me next to the symbols on Caves around the world are so important as those drawing them tried to convey something of importance in the Petroglyph’s .. and pictographs drawn on animal hides.. 

The Pyramids of Egypt also have been discovered to have been Aligned with the stars especially the Pleiades. The main three pyramids were aligned in order to view the three central stars of Orion. And even more remarkable the 3 pyramids were spaced precisely geometrically to the stars in Orion’s Belt.   

A story about Scar Face can be found here which I posted in 2009  is a story about these relationships with the stars.. The story often refers to meetings with Star beings and being gifted with some kind of Knowledge which was given to the Heroine or Hero of the story. Scar Face journeys to the Land of the Star People where he finds his sense of identity and he make a new compact with the Star beings he meets. Scar Face helps them, and in return they help him, and he returns home to Earth with new Knowledge that he shares with his people..

It is time now for New Knowledge to come once again to Earth . And  we are gradually all changing our way of thinking and being..

Cycles are in constant motion.. We view the heavens above us as we see the planets coming into alignments that haven’t occurred in many thousands of years. We need to pay heed to the Sun, and the Stars once again.. As we need to pay heed to our Earth Mother.. as she shifts her vibration to also once more align to her rightful position within the Universe.

Our Indigenous Tribes Knew how to Balance Nature.. We have become Out of Balance and we need to start and Listen to our inner Hearts for the Changes to come… I will leave you with a video of Gregg Braden speaking of those changes.. He is a Scientist who has woken up to many things which now can be proven by science to be correct..

We are in a Time of Change…

The Earth is Evolving as are we..

And its how we respond to those Changes within this present Cycle that determines the Balance of Nature..

Nothing is Cast in Stone..

We are part of the Mass Consciousness of Earth.. Use your greatest Tool ever given.. Your Minds and Thoughts and Create a Better World .  

Please listen to what Gregg Braden has to say..

I too along with many others have that Kind of ‘Knowing’ and its time to Wake up to some of these Ancient teachings

to Heal our World and Ourselves.

~Native American Elder~

As promised I said I would post more upon the subject of Dolphins, and spirit communication.. These excepts were taken from  my own Spiritual Circle from  a Trance communication when we had a Q and A session.in 2007. The Communicator was a Native American Indian, And I channelled his answers during a Trance Session, as our group had many questions to put forward.

One such question touched upon the animal Kingdom.

Q.  It is regarding our animal kingdom; Can we actually tune into those vibrations from the animals. And can we learn lessons from them, through connecting one’s mind and one’s aura to the animals? Can we seek peace in doing this?

A.  You can learn many many lessons from the animal kingdom. The animal kingdom has chosen also to embark upon its own evolution within the earth’s realm. They have their own spirit, for they are spirit. The animals can communicate to each other. You can also communicate to the animals through the thought process. If you develop those thought processes and attune them to those of the animal kingdom. The animal kingdom has come to learn the human element of the earth. Also many lessons. The animals will help you to feel compassion to feel love. They also to make you feel gratitude, for do they not lay down their lives in order that you feed from them?

They come to this plane of existence knowing full well their destiny. But many of your animal kingdom, are also at this time feeling the vibration of the earth. For they are more in tune with the earths vibration than any human spirit.

And some of your animal kingdom is electing to leave this planet. Be aware, be aware and take notice. For not only the animals of the land. But also the aquatic life will also leave this earth plane. The whales have been persecuted, so have your dolphin.. They sing their songs in lament, and they weep.

But they are loyal, like most animals that you come into contact with; in regard to your, what you call your ‘pets’.

So too the aquatic life is there for a purpose. You do not see, you cannot understand within the limitations of your own human mind at this moment in time the results of what the animal kingdom do. But let me tell you, that when the whale sings and the dolphin cries, they do not just communicate to each other, they create a vibration of sound. That’s seals itself around your earth plane. It is helping to heal the Earth. And once they have done their job, they will elect to leave. Be aware, be aware……..

More questions were asked by our group members on different subjects, then R of our group asked.

Q. Ron: could I take you back to the question of the animals leaving the Earth. You said that when the whales and the dolphins had done their job and they had put their protective barrier of sound around the planet, or I might have misunderstood that. But that’s how I understood the statement. They would leave the earth. Did you mean as a complete species? Or as individuals?

A.  No brother, many of the dolphin and of the whale, many of your whales in your past were persecuted, were they not? They were yes. Many of your dolphins now, are they not dying needlessly? Absolutely,

The remaining dolphin the remaining whales have a specific purpose to do. Not just to exist within the ocean as a species of whale or dolphin, and to carry out their aquatic life. But like as souls they have come to this plane for a purpose. Whether they realise that purpose or not. Do you understand? And that purpose for many of the dolphin is with their creation of their clicks and sonar, and the whales with their sonar song is to help create a web around the plane of your earth. In order to heighten your vibration of your earth plane.

This has been going on not just in your lifetime. Do you understand? Yes I do. And it will continue in not just your lifetime but in the futures lifetime. We speak not just in time, as you know it. But as when the earth and her vibration will change. For then, for then my friend their job will be done. Do you understand now? Yes I do. It’s just that it breaks my heart that we have persecuted such beautiful species that are here specifically to help us and…….

My friends, my friend, you as a species do not just persecute the animal kingdom. You persecute each other. I know. And we from our realm have, and I as a soul, have also been upon that path of persecution. But we progress, we learn. We lift up our hearts to the light. And we learn. Mankind my friend has to learn. And you as a group upon this plane of existence, like many more likeminded souls, at this moment in time upon your earth. Are helping to bring about that change that is needed. You cannot see it, you cannot sense it. You may feel it so slightly. But that change my friends will come. And you are, and be thankful for that you are part of it.

We salute you. For we cannot do it by ourselves from our realm. You within this group are warriors of light. Go forward with love, with truth in your hearts. And hold your heads up high, and speak that truth.

Do not let not no man put you down for what you believe to be true.

For your standing firm in your beliefs will enable you to go forward in your own progression. But not only in your own progression, you are also helping the progression of mankind as a species. This is on going my friends, on going.

Does that answer your question? (Yes it does thank you.)

Q. Group member K: ok my question is this. How do we go about, I may phrase this wrong. How do we spread the light into the world as individuals and as a group? What is the best way forward? I don’t like to preach to people I feel it’s wrong, preaching.

A. That is an easy question to answer friend. To spread the light to people as an individual is to be true to one’s self.

Go out and speak only the truth. Do not judge, do not criticise another for an action, for you cannot understand why that individual is creating that action at that moment in time.

So do not judge another. Feel peace in your heart brother, and love. These are things that are simply said. But sometimes the simplest things as I believe we over heard you say earlier, are the hardest things to do. Yes.

Be simple. Keep it simple. I try to be simple ( Group chuckled).

Smile my friend smile; create with that smile that love that is felt deep within your heart. For you have a pure heart. Let it shine. And as you let it out, and let it shine, so you will find that those around you will also see that light within your own heart. And will shine back at you.

You will come across brother, many upon that path who would like to extinguish that light. That goes for all within this circle.

For believe me wherever there is two or three lights are gathered together, there is one light lurking a darker shade always lurks within the corner, ready to pounce.

It is the way of positive and negatives my friends. It is a Universal law that there has to be the opposites in order for each to exist. But we say my friend Light prevails. It will prevail over your Earth, but the dark side, the negative side, will always be in pursuit. Keep your joy and love in your heart.And that is how you spread the light. Has that answered your question?

Perfectly thank you.

It is my belief that this Grid around our Earth is now being activated in various places around our World.. The Dolphins have played a part in that activation as have the Whales..For all of us are playing our parts in helping our Earth Mother and ourselves Evolve and move into that Higher Vibration and embrace the ‘Light’

Many of our Dolphin are now electing to leave this planet.. Some say its because their Sonar is being affected by the magnetic forces around our planet altering… What ever it is, we have to agree that Changes are taking place around our planet which is affecting our aquatic and bird life.  Just follow some of these links to see just how many are leaving in the beginning of this year alone.Thanks go out to The Extinction Protocol on WordPress for all these links..And I have only touched upon a few..

Keep searching and seeking and Living from your hearts and understand that there is More to this Earth than the Human Race and our Material existence..

 

Humankind has not woven the web of life.
We are but one thread within it.
Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.
All things are bound together.
All things connect.

Apocalyptic Days of Progression

Many I speak to are asking me “ What do you think of the ‘End of Days’ prophecies?” I tell them its not always about what we know- I could say I know many things, but its more about how we feel..  How do you Feel?? What are your thoughts??

Change is in the air.. we all of us ‘Feel’ it as we pass comments upon the unusual weather, the time speeding up, the mass extinctions of our fish- Dolphins, birds,etc. not to mention all the upheavals and unrest around our planet that is gaining momentum. 

Nature seems to be out of sync too as she too reflects that change.. Many plants last Autumn flowered and fruited again giving double crops. This year spring flowers already in full bloom, we have temperatures rising here 16DegC today in February.  Insect life, Bees around and about already. People are seeing the changes and are beginning to feel it, for they too are changing.

There seems to be an urgency as time appears to be running faster. And many would say that time is running out for the reversal of Mans destructive forces which is destroying our Earth Mother.

People are sensing now that we are fast approaching a crucial turning point, and that it is up to us, ‘This Generation’ to help our Earth complete her task as we complete our own missions here upon this planet.

We either learn to Heal, bringing in those energies of Love and light or man will plunge himself into further chaos.

Many things have to alter as that healing starts to take affect as things fall away within our present social structures to enable that Change and Healing to take place. 

This is what we are ‘Feeling’ as we witness our world as it struggles with the material selfish greed it has woven itself so tightly in.. We are seeing those threads now snapping  one by one as the structure is breaking down.. We are seeing in in our  failing banking systems, we are seeing it in fallen dictatorships, we are seeing it as the Media is exposed in its corruption of reporting, we are seeing it in our Governments own exposures of failings and its abuse of power..Each time a thread breaks it is losing its grip upon the control of the masses. So we see new scenarios take shape, New fear tactics, on and on this Game goes on.. as Fear is spread. 

But as we are changing we are discerning the Truth . We are recognising that we have to shed the fear, For basically there are two emotions,

We can either live in Fear, or we can Live in LOVE,

People are coming together now and are joining in unity of thought as they topple dictators, as they stand together and voice their protests of injustices.. Our Consciences are starting to prick and more and more of us are uniting together within the Mass Consciousness around our world As we change our way of being. 

Change has to start from within each of us  

We ‘Feel’ it, and we know that this Earth cannot carry on as it is.. Each of us are changing, and as we acknowledge these changes from within..we are  beginning to understand just who we are, and as we connect to our inner spirits once again, we then begin to change our Outer World..  For Both Inner and Outer Worlds are connected..

Remember what we think so we create.. We manifest our Reality! ALL of it.  

We are all of us Powerful Beings and are beginning to find that Spirit within us to speak our truth, that inner core,which is a droplet of the Divine source and as such we can never be extinguished.

Our Light outshines All Darkness,

We just have to learn once again how to Shine! 

We need now to understand our roots, and in my earlier posts I said I would take you upon a journey, one that may well seem like science fiction.. But the Signs have been there for us to follow throughout History left there by the ancients, But this Historians never taught this in any of our Schools…

We are the creators of our destiny..

So what sort of a world are YOU creating?

What sort of a World do you want to Live in?   

Myths and fairy stories all over the world tell us of similar stories, of the souls descent from those higher realms to the denseness of matter here on Earth with all its limitations.. Stories of the Star People, And inside you and inside of me, the ‘Soul’ knows the Truth, each of us need only go within and find it..

In those Ancient times our ancestors made this knowledge available to all who wished to seek it.. Its there upon the Pyramid walls, its within the Cave Drawings, its within our Native American Wisdom, It is within the Aboriginal teachings, it is within the African cultures. It has been passed down via word of mouth in Peru.. Tibet. India.. All over the world. Its even within the pages of the Holy Scriptures if you look for it..  

We have been blinded by the rule of Material possessions. We have lost our Spiritual Path.. And I do not speak here of following any one religion..

 I speak of LOVE of our Earth, I speak of LOVE for our Animal Kingdom, I speak of LOVE for one another.. I speak of LOVE for oneself.  

We have lost our way and we are out of balance.. We need to WAKE UP to these facts and the warnings our forefathers foretold is happening NOW…Right this minute,

We Now more than ever need to address those changes within ourselves and lead by example, and bring about a more Balance into the world whereby we nurture and love ourselves and our Earth Mother..

Look within your own hearts and ask yourself what is it you need to do to help this world.. Share your Hearts and live from them. What can we do to help spread some Love and Light via our thoughts and actions.. But

Do not get caught up with its Fear.

The Great symbolism of the Apocalypse is that it pertains to a New Advent, A New dispensation, seen in great perspective of our Past and our Future… And here we are within our Present Age at that crucial turning point.  Let it be turned to Progression

Let us help our Earth within this Shift as we Shift our own awareness as we send out that Love

Blessings~ Sue Dreamwalker

Man And Beast.

 

“If all the beasts were gone,
men would die
from a great loneliness of spirit,
for whatever happens to the beasts
also happens to the man.
All things are connected.
Whatever befalls the Earth
befalls the sons of the Earth.”

― Chief Seattle .

I was looking back through some of my achieves I wrote down from transcripts from recordings  of my trance sessions way back in 2007. And came across this excerpt  today of when a regular communicator White Feather came to talk to our Group through myself. He spoke of many things but this jumped out at me today.

“You can learn many many lessons from the animal kingdom. The animal kingdom has chosen also to embark upon its own evolution within the earth realm. They have their own spirit, for they are spirit. The animals can communicate to each other. You can also communicate to the animals through the thought process. If you develop those thought processes and attune them to those of the animal kingdom. The animal kingdom has come to learn the human element of the earth. Also many lessons. The animals will help you to feel compassion to feel love. They also to make you feel gratitude, for do they not lay down their lives in order that you feed from them?

They come to this plane of existence knowing full well their destiny. But many of your animal kingdom, are also at this time feeling the vibration of the earth. For they are more in tune with the earths vibration than any human spirit.

And some of your animal kingdom is electing to leave this planet. Be aware, be aware and take notice. For not only the animals of the land. But also the aquatic life will also leave this earth plane. The whales have been persecuted, so have your dolphin.. They sing their songs in lament, and they weep.

But they are loyal, like most animals that you come into contact with; in regard to your, what you call your ‘pets’.

So too the aquatic life is there for a purpose. You do not see, you cannot understand within the limitations of you’re your own human mind at this moment in time the results of what the animal kingdom do. But let me tell you, that when the whale sings and the dolphin cries, they do not just communicate to each other, they create a vibration of sound. That’s seals itself around your earth plane. It is helping to heal the Earth. And once they have done their job, they will elect to leave. Be aware, be aware.”

Is it any wonder our Wild life is electing to vacate this planet given that we have polluted its oceans,waterways and skies putting great wounds in the landscape, leaving huge scars as we rip great swaths of Forests tearing up our Mother Earth and destroying habitats and putting many of our animal species on the endangered list .

We need to understand how we are destroying our Environment. 

Our Native American Indian Brothers have long known that we need to honour our Earth and Animal Kingdom and have foretold many things which have come to pass as truth in their Prophecies.

Our Animals upon this planet are part of our Family. They are more in tune with our Earth Mother, and link into her vibration..I have been told and know that our Whales and Dolphins are  helping to hold Earth’s Vibration, and use the vibration of sound not only to communicate, but to heal…. As some humans have had the privilege of knowing .   

Indigenous Native American Prophecy Pt 3 by MadRazorRay.

I hope you will follow a few of the links I have placed here,

I also ask that you send our your thoughts/Prayers to those Family members of ours who cant speak for themselves..

As we Humans systematically Destroy Our World.. 

For we are ALL ONE ..

Wolf ~Pastels ~Power Animals.

 

As you can see my pastel box has been out again. And this week I drew this Wolf..

Wolves have always fascinated me and it saddens me that they get such bad press. 

In Europe the wolf can still be found in the mountainous regions of the Pyrenees, the Alps, Poland, Russia, and Scandinavia  The Wolf was virtually wiped out in Western Europe by the end of the 19th Century and like its American brother it avoids Man. And I can’t say I blame him..

Recently there has been a movement to reintroduce the wolf to remote areas of Scotland and England, although there is still a lot of protests by Farmers.

I have had one or two images of the Wolf recently drop into my meditations.. so I have been reading up on its attributes as a Power Animal.. For when Wolf appears he/she has a message for me..

Click Here for some Attributes. If Wolf is your Power Animal 

There are some wonderful Legends and Traditions associated with the Wolf.. The Shoshone believed that after death the human spirit went to the land of Coyote who along with wolf created the world. Wolf guarded the path walked by the dead. Wolf would awaken and  wash the human soul in the river, thereby making it sacred, and then the newly cleansed spirit gained entry into the promised land..  Elsewhere in North western America Wolf was linked with Raven, especially those tribes who credited Raven with the origin of the Universe. So wolf is inextricably bound with the creation story.

The Wolf as a teacher was so integral an idea to the Native Americans that in sign language which was used across the Plains, and the Mississippi Valley which spread into the Rockies- The Hand position for Medicine( power) was nearly identical to that of the sign for Wolf. 

The Plains Tribes invested much in the wisdom of the Wolf. The Pawnee were one of the most feared tribes upon the plains and the sign for  Pawnee was also ‘Wolf.’ 

The Lakota based much of the male society on the wolf, just as the female society was constructed on the model of the Buffalo.

The holy-man with wolf medicine would lead the men in a wolf-like howl prior to battle, for it was thought this would instill in them the wolf’s fighting spirit .

Wolves love to howl, they do this for several reasons, to contact each other, to announce their presence and boundaries of their territory, and for the sheer joy of doing so..

Wolf ‘Song’ has often been equated with Whale Song as maintaining the history of the Universe..

To me Wolves are not savage but family oriented, who live, work, hunt and play in a spirit of co-operation…

We could all learn much from the Wolf.. 

I hope you enjoyed my own Howl tonight…

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Beat of My Drum

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Drumming.

Above you see a Slide show of my Drum, which I painted. 

I decorated the Drum and drum stick, painting the animal
totems that are close to my heart and that I know are around me.

 A friend made me this drum from scratch With sacking cloth glued to a wooden frame in which he
covered  it in a Resin, inside it has a crossed over brace of wood made from Hazel wood to give it strength.

 The Bear,TheWolf,  The Eagle, The Hawk, and The Fox,  All mean something Special to me.. Click to see meanings of Totems

Drumming from the Ancients ways to the present day has been incorporated
into every culture. To drum is to connect to that Rhythm, that Heart Beat of
Life. The Drum has the ability to change you, literally it can alter your brain
wave patterns, and Scientist will tell you this through verified research. The
Drum has the ability to alter consciousness, from rousing Warriors, to Healing,
and performing Mystical Voyages of the inner realms.

The Native Americans would call their drums ‘Canoe’s’ or ‘Horse’s’
as they would enhance their ability to travel to the Spirit Realms..

The Drum can intensify your intent.. So if you are sending
out a request for healing either for oneself or for a member of your family or
for the World in general then your drumming can amplify and intensify the power
of your thought in a Powerful way.

Sound is a Wonderful Healer, Its Vibration is what we are
all made up of, for we are all of us Vibration resonating at a certain frequency.
If you ever get chance to Drum using a hand drum then hold the drum close to
your heart. Feel the sound resound inside of you use whatever beat you wish, just
let yourself become one with your drum and ‘Feel’ its beat, match it with your
own heart beat. Just allow its natural rhythm to evolve..

And if you haven’t a drum find some drumming music and close
your eyes and listen, sway to its beat.

Below I have posted a Video of the Cherokee Morning Song. I
play this music Regular and I Drum along to it. I sing as I now know all of the
words to this song, And will take myself off very often into my special little
room and drum and Sing this Song..

 

 

I hope you enjoy.

And I hope you’ll go and find your Beat, And join in with the Rhythm of the Drum..

Medicine Wheels.

Medicine Wheel.

This was inspired to be written from a Question from a friend, dogkisses. 

In the past the Native American people have honoured the Sacred Circle by building their homes in circular fashion, Rituals of purification were done in circular sweat lodges. And it was in a Circle the Elders came together, all being equal to have their say.. The circle is One, never ending continuous And it evokes a feeling of Wholeness and completeness. Sacred Dance was and is also done within a circle.

Jacob Boehme, a sixteenth Century mystic wrote , “ The Being of God is like a Wheel, Wherein many wheels are made in another, upwards downwards, crossways, and yet continually turn all of them together. At Which indeed, when man beholds the Wheel, he highly marvels”.

The Hopi Indians have a word: Tuwanasaapi, which means a place of Belonging. The place where you are your true home, the Spiritual Axis of the Universe,

When Native Americans made their Medicine Wheels to help him in their Vision Quests, it became their centring place, their Tuwanasaapi. Making a Sacred place an opening for unmasking your true self, love, sincerity of heart, of giving thanks, transformation, and reaching the stars… Connecting back to those Ancestors.

A Medicine Wheel is also a circle of protection. In Ancient Europe the Magi put a circle shield around himself that sealed him from his surroundings. The power of the Circle protected him and was a place where energy could be built.

By using Ceremony, Intent and Love, a medicine wheel can be a protected sanctuary where a vortex of spinning energy can build.. And as the energy builds your prayers can ride to your higher self and to that God source of Creation.

You can find out more on the internet about Medicine Wheels.. I was asked how I chose my stones?

First you need to locate where you want to build your Medicine Wheel, use your intuition as to what ground feels right and where you are unlikely to be disturbed. Close your eyes and ask yourself what you are feeling, if you are not comfortable move to another spot.

The Earth is a living Force, and there are places upon this Earth where you are strengthened and weakened. Feel the Earths Energies. Connect with Mother Earth,

Next Chose your stones.. the Ancients understood the power of the stones and often used them in ceremonies and rituals, they believed they held living Spirits with healing properties, even though you may think a stone is an inanimate object it still holds living energy. Native and Ancient people saw a world beyond the material and acknowledged that Rocks held living Spirits.

When you chose your Stones always ask Nature, “ May I take you for my Medicine Wheel?” in fact you should always ask natures permission to what ever you take, be it veg from your garden to picking flowers.  I liked a  sign I read while in Canada many Years ago now, it read..

( Take only Pictures, Leave only Footprints) and that has stayed with me a long time.

You can find many places upon the web to see how you set your Medicine Wheel  and many will vary. Follow your own intuition, Always  Enter your Circle from the East,  And be guided by your inner thoughts and prayers to honour your Sacred Circle, and send out your Intent and Prayer..

In most traditions the Medicine Wheel is divided into Four Equal quarters

There is no right way or wrong system, ALL Medicine Wheel Tradition hold Beauty and Truth. And many can vary.  The Value of the Medicine wheel is in the way that it gives understanding and in honouring of the Inner cycles within each of us.
