The Promise

When Life is a tunnel, so twisting, so black
That you can't see your way forward, nor feel your way back
Then just call out to me.
When you stand in such need of a friend
I am the comforting voice in your darkness
The sympathy no words can express
The warm glow around you when misfortune strikes cold
The shoulder to lean on, the hand stretched out to hold.
Whatever your need is, then that will I be
Until you walk forth in the light at the end.

Balance Bundle

I have been 'studying' Native American Ways for a while now, and one of the things in this particular lesson is the 'Balance Bundle' the belief is that to release emotion that stays in the body make a medicine bundle.

Identify the emotion...one of mine for example at the moment would be 'anger' it is suggested that I would need to find a 'twig' and name that twig 'anger' (and so on depending on which emotions I want to release) then break the 'anger' twig and throw it away...saying 'release anger'(& so on until all twigs have been thrown)

Then place inside a piece of cloth a small stone with 'anger' written on it (or whatever emotion it is you're dealing with - on seperate stones)...roll up this cloth and carry it with you to remind you that you have let go of that 'bad' feeling, or that you are in the process of 'letting go'

The Journey

Hi people :)
Just bringing you upto date, the BSY Group have agreed to allow me to continue with my Native American Teachng studies, so my new journey begins......

Medicine Man

The medicine man is widely revered by Native American tribes, with often little distinction from the shaman, priest or sorcerer. He is responsible for the health of the tribe & is a fountain of knowledge about herbs and their uses.
Medicine men who see into the spirit world can perceive plants & match a person's aura to the colour of the plant. A key figure in all tribes, the medicine man often goes on vision quests into the spirit world for answers to his patients' emotional & physical problems. The quest is accompanied by much ceremony, & often the medicine man smokes a pipe of sacred herbs & may wear an animal costume.

What to do!

Well what do i do,  thats not a question its a statement, having spent a large part of my life as a mother & teacher to two well balanced children, both of whom i am very proud, i feel that my daughter is becoming my  inspiration.
I read her blog on a regular basis and find that i can relate to much that she says, it sometimes feels as if i have gone back in time and i am the one that is on a learning curve, she is following much in my footsteps with her thirst for knowledge but in doing so, has sparked my thirst for learning once again.
A few years ago i started a home study course on  Native American Teachings which i thought i had finished, as it happens i hadn't and i have approached BSY Group to ask if after many years if i can  pick up where i left of and finish this course, now awaiting their response.
And so the story continues........
