Color me Blue

It is time for Vision Quest. Can you go alone into the wilderness and sacrifice food and water, four days and nights, all the while speaking from your heart to Wakan Tanka, God?

                                                                                   Motion - Taku Skan Skan

The Earth is our Mother. How can we own our Mother? We cannot! We were born to her with the promise to take care of her, teaching the young to do the same for the welfare of our future children's, children.

Our Father, the blue in the sky is everywhere. He is above and surrounds all. How can we own our Father? We cannot! Each day we bow our head in prayer reaching for this guidance. Every seed of life is connected and awakened by the power of these sacred beings.

Since much of our energy is received from the sun and is weightless with no mass, why does the sky appear blue to us on a sunny day? When we see anything, no matter if it is light years away or across the room, it enters the eyes creating a picture through different frequencies and wave lengths. For instance: Blue light has a higher frequency and a shorter wave length than red. When a blue light wave penetrates oxygen and nitrogen it explodes, scattering in all directions, sending a wave length that makes our sky appear blue and reflects such in the waters on Mother Earth.

Taku Skan Skan is a sacred Sioux word, meaning motion, movement. His color is blue and his power is everywhere. The wind is his companion. Where there is no movement, there is no life. We do not own motion. What makes the wind move? Taku Skan Skan! Who creates the motion of breath? Taku Skan Skan! What makes the heart beat and the blood run through your veins? Taku Skan Skan. What makes the smoke rise from the sacred pipe? Taku Skan Skan! What makes the rivers flow? Taku Skan Skan! What makes a star or meteorite fall? Taku Skan Skan! Once again, I refer to the Sacred Powers of Great Spirit, Wakan Tanka, God, incomprehensible, but do-able.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Sacred Power

I am just another you
Together we walk as one on Mother Earth
Together we reach above as one
Together we plead for blessings
Together we sing a prayer song as one to Great Spirit
Together we heal as one
Together our hearts beat as one
Together we are the same
Together we are one...
All my relations

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Blue is Everywhere

Science tells us, a blue moon is the second full moon in one calendar month. They also say when the ashes and dust of a vast forest fire fills our sky it will create a blue moon. In 1883 researchers' state, a volcano erupted in Indonesia and filled the atmosphere with heavy dust particles turning our sunsets green and the moon blue.

Did you know a blue moon is being predicted in the West on July 2 at 11:09 July 31 11:05, in 2004 GMT?

My grandmother strongly believed in the power of color and sky knowledge. She had her own Blue Moon.

One night we were sitting outside watching for the blue moon to appear. A great disappointment came over me when it was not blue like the sky. My grandmother chuckled and said, "Never mind Granddaughter, I've seen the real blue moon and that's not it. The blue moon I speak of is a very special kind of moon. It only happens when a major fire or a volcano erupts, spewing a peculiar kind of debris in the sky and makes a large visible light. When this happens, it reverses the colors in the sky and turns the moon blue, bringing great power to our morning and evening stars, and telling us, it is time for miracle healings."

Since the beginning of time, color has always played a major role in the depth of the human mind. The color blue seems to speak a universal language, inspiring Nature and all artists to express their feelings, moods and impressions in its many shades.

Blue is everywhere, on the earth, under the earth, and reflected in all the waters and all the above aspects of the sky. Even electricity (not lightning) is blue in color. Many Indian creation stories speak of a blue-white light coming from the sky. Many cultures of today still believe in the power of the blue sky, knowing it to give them a soothing, radiating shield of protection from all evil that tries to penetrate our lives.

Our ancient ancestors also believed in the color blue, extending this belief system by painting their walls blue decorating and encircling their homes and temples with bands of blue.

Did you know a blue turquoise stone, or a sky blue scarf placed around the neck of a boy-scout symbolically says, I will keep you safe and calm.

Reach back to the beginning of the human race. You will find in history the people revered their heroes and Gods, all who had blue eyes. They inserted turquoise stones in the statue of Zeus to depict his blue eyes and remind them of the great power of the color blue.

The oldest of beliefs in Egypt were based upon the heavens. They believed Blue is the color of the universe and referred to Sirius, the brightest and most important star in the heavens as the Dog Star. In fact, Sirius was astronomically the foundation of their entire religious system. Every 49.9 years Sirius, A and B came close together creating huge magnetic storms, eventually releasing this energy to flow to the magnetic fields and the sun which transmitted this energy through something like a lens to all planets. The people believed these magnetic storms created their extremely hot summers.

Their God Amum's skin was the color blue. The God Osiris, the destroyer of evil and always appeared in the heavens as a hawk and its torso was made of a blue stone. The Egyptian also believed the blue mineral Lapis stone possessed life giving powers. The color of blue is used for painting the eyes, hair and the crowns of Pharaoh's statues. The Nile River is rendered in blue on many of their old paintings. Numerous nude female figures glazed in blue to represent life and creation were found in their graves.

During this period of time, the kings' heads were covered with blue and gold. In the Valley of the Kings, blue was used for the background of their royal graves. On the ceilings of Egyptian temples were intense blue images of the heavens carrying yellow stars. The Egyptians saw life in the deep blue waters and the divine in the immense blue sky. Even today, this old knowledge proves a blue color creates a dream like state of security. When we pray from the heart, we are connecting to our soul to help us understand the power of the color blue.

Since Wakan Tanka, God, precedes all humankind empires, the sky and the oceans were blue long before the birthing of humankind.

The Greeks say Sirius, is linked to the blue-white star. Other beings from Sirius were supposedly Blue tinged- people. They say the Bluebloods of our world are descendents of this Blue alien race who once spent time on Mother Earth.

Long before we had the technical ability we have today, the Dogan Tribe from West Africa told of Sirius A and its twin the invisible star in their creation story. They too, knew of the blue tinged people.

They were well aware of how the planets circled the sun in elliptical orbits, the four moons of Jupiter and the rings of Saturn. They Dogans describe their elliptical DNA patterns of the human body as an exact duplicate of Sirius A. and B. They also believe Sirius is the axis of the universe and from Sirius, all matter and souls are produced by a great spiraling motion called, Taku Skan Skan, motion.

In the Hindu belief is a spirit called "Ahazhulama", which means blue teacher.

The ancient Hopi people refer to Sirius as the Blue Star Kachina. He also known by many other names: Chasing star, Planet Kachina and Comet. The Hopi say the time is near for the Blue Star Kachina to re-appear to the people. He will come and dance in the plaza and remove his mask. When this happens, Fifth World will emerge and the purification day will begin, destroying the conflict between the material and the spiritual worlds. Once completed, a new world order will be established and be with harmony, unity, love, tranquility, truth and sincerity, creating global synchronicity. This will be accomplished through the creative inspirations of all evolved souls.

Today there are many Earth Children who can see the human oval-shaped ethereal form as it radiates and extends outwardly two to three feet. All life force energies assume an ever-changing kaleidoscopic filled with beautiful colors of true thought, called an aura.

Around the center of this etheric body, the color is deep and dense, gradually shading out into indistinctness. This energy field is sometimes referred to as the psychic atmosphere, a magnetic atmosphere or feeling. For instance; a young child or animal can see and feel the aura of a life force. Children will acknowledgeable the energy of another, responding accordingly to their likes or dislikes, using their senses to see and feel whatever is standing in front of them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

                         Blueprint

The human atmosphere is in constant movement as a colorful rainbow, rising, falling and swirling outward from the center, allowing all that you are; to be imparted to others.

There are many individuals in this world who have developed these great abilities of seeing and feeling an aura. At times some describe it as luminous cloud, phosphorescent flames, and flaming tongues with sparks flying outward, a stream of burning gas, revealing the physical and emotional health of another.

Since our thoughts and feelings are forever shifting, it is important to know you can clearly see, feel and understand the inner life force from all physical entities through one's aura. The aura is an energy pattern that is being manifested by the emotion and thought process of all life forces through, giving off many different colorful shades, all the while simply playing a complex yet major role in our lives during our Earth Journey's learning process.

Everything on Mother Earth has a purpose and an equal right to perform its birth purpose through the gift of healing. For every disease, there is a plant, root, leaf, bark or flower to heal the illness. In a worldwide view, think of the many plants on Mother Earth. It is your collective knowledge about these herbs that will guide you to find the one that will bring your health back into balance.

Healing herbs come in all colors and shapes, each telling you of the power they freely give through sacrificing their life for your wellness. The intricate beauty of the blue flowers, some with four, five and six petals, bring us different cures, for a sickness. For instance; the dew of the sea is also known as Rosemary. This bush with its shimmering blue flowers originated along the coastline of the Mediterranean and Africa.

My property is surrounded with Rosemary bushes that are covered with lovely blue flowers. To reach down and gently touch a branch is exhilarating. Now bring your hand to your nose and inhale deeply as the fragrance clears the mind. Rosemary also lifts our spirits, is used for a disinfectant, wards off infections and reminds us to love and kindly remember our ancestors.

I was once told by an 'Old One' how to attract a mate. Brew up a cup of Rosemary tea and offer it to your new potential. They say if love is in the heart, Rosemary will bring it to you.

I love the black-seeded Sunflower. It gives off a purplish-blue color. They say if you watch how the sunflower follows the sun across the sky it will teach you to remain loyal and reverent to Creator. When darkness appears, the sunflower will bow its head in prayer until the following morning sunrise, giving us a reminder to be devoted and build a strong spiritual power. When we bake sunflower roots and make them into a poultice, it cures rheumatism. Blue Flax stems steeped in boiling water cures stomach disorders and gas problems. Blue Camas plant comes from the lily family. When it is baked it taste like brown sugar or maple syrup. This sweet tasting treat is usually served on special days or to special company.

A Blue gum Eucalyptus tree has long leaves and white flowers that give off a very sweet odor. The leaves and bark are made into oil and used for antiseptic, insect bites and to increase physical vitality. This plants healing power can be enhanced as you become aware of your special needs through proper breathing techniques. My father was an adamant hunter and trained hunting and racing dogs. He used the Blue Gum Eucalyptus oil in a salve form on his injured dogs' cuts, bruises and sore muscles.

What about the favorite Blue Spruce tree we use during Christmas holidays or the many fir trees that have a tint of blue in their long wispy needles? Why do we choose these tree during the holidays? We hope the tree will bring harmony, solve our family problems and remove stress within all friends and family members.

The Colorado blue spruce represents joy and inner peace, reminding us again to keep a strong spiritual foundation.

When I was a child I had asthma. My grandmother would boil blue pine needles to make a tea. I would drink this and the asthma would stop.

It was the Stone Nation who were the first-born to our planet and established the first active fire council on Mother Earth. Since the beginning of time, it was the Stone People who carried the oldest of knowledge. They are the backbone of Mother Earth and express all Mother Earth's history. The Stone People are thrilled to introduce themselves to us through their symbols, designs, shapes and colors. They are willing to share their inner wisdom with us. It was these silent ones who prepared the world for the coming of the first human tribe.

The next time you are taking a leisurely walk and decide to pick up a stone, how do you accomplish this? Ask permission from the stone to pick it up and do it with reverence. What made you notice that particular stone? Did it call to you? A stone belongs to no one. If you decide to take the stone, offer a pinch of tobacco with a silent prayer to the stone. Remember it is a life- force on its life journey. When it has completed its work with you, it expects you to give it to another so it can continue its personal journey.

For a moment, contemplate on all the precious blue stones we harvest from Mother Earth's body. Each stone holds information and is filled with certain healing powers. A blue Sapphire helps you become an honest, broad minded and probing person, always the truth seeker.

Their are many blue animals, mammals and creepy crawlies in our world. One of these are the Russian blue cat, offers detachment. The Blue Terrier dog teaches us loyalty. The Blue Fox, gives us the power of cunning. The Blue poison dart frogs helps us understand the water and night life creatures. The blotched blue-tongued lizard will guide us to become a dreamer. The blue racer snake gives us the gift of electrifying charisma and speed of thought. Whatever the mind believes, the snake will increase its power through our emotions and thoughts.

When we enter the sacred waters on Mother Earth, we soon find it is filled with blue fish, blue crab, blue dolphins, the blue ringed octopus, and the largest and loudest creature of all, the sacred blue whale.

When we explore the sky world, we find the blue heron, blue Jay, Bluebird and the brilliant blue Hyacinthine macaw, all having their own powers.

And what about all the many blue insects? The blue dragon fly, blue aphid, the blue butterfly and the blue damsel fly, all important gifts to our eco system.
What about the blue human? There are isolated families living in the Appalachian Mountains of Kentucky who have blue colored skin. The color does not affect their health but has been found to be a disease genetically inherited through intermarriage that causes the skin color to range from light blue to a dark blue. The disease is called Methemoglobinemia, and is caused by an enzyme deficiency that results in blue skin color. Methylene blue is used to replace this missing enzyme, placing more oxygen in the blood and creating a normal pinkish-white skin.

The Ainu indigenous people of Japan were often described as the color blue. Another ancient race of blue people are mentioned in the books the Hare Krishna sells.

The Irish-Scottish (Gaelic) people of African descent were historically referred to as a blue race.

The skin of the desert herders known as the Tuareg, have blue skin and are considered healthy and attractive. Others say it is the wrappings of the dark blue dyed materials they wear that cause the skin to turn blue.

Long ago, the Scottish people painted their skin blue before they went naked into battle. The Maori tribe of New Zealand tattoo themselves with dark blue ink in sacred designs, some covering their entire body.

Anthropology gives reference to blue humanoids, recognizing them as a fifth race. They were seven feet tall, thin, and with extremely large heads. They dwelled in an unknown continent between Asia and Europe in the middle of the ocean,(i.e., North America) These most ancient blue Moovians supposedly existed 60,000BC. This unusual race possessed the powers of the mind, teleportation, telekinesis, thought projection, astral projection, etc. Today it is believed these blue people left Mother Earth for another planet in our galaxy to establish a more suitable environment.

According to the Anishinabe Indian prophesy the four races once had a fifth, the blue race. The people are aware of the old evil predictions and pray daily to keep the respect, protection and reverence for all life on Mother Earth and her children.

Near Norway, there is a place called Cloud Island. If has been mentioned by the many who believe the blue people still live there.

They say there are blue aliens in the sky. Many star-seeded implantations originated from the Pleiades constellation grouped with over 3000 plants in its galaxy. Following our old Indian sky teachings, the Pleiadian culture is very ancient and was once seeded by another universe long before Mother Earth was ever created. They came to the Blue planet as inhabitants from the Pleiades as ambassadors of a humanoid race, often visiting Mother Earth to share in our common ancestry. They taught the original three dimensional earthlings how to take care of Mother Earth and all of her children in a loving and respectful manner. Their mission was to help us ascend to the fourth dimension and learn about serenity and harmony using unconditional love and compassion for all life forces throughout the universe.

Our three dimensional world allows us to experience the tangible and the solid. Every event in our life seems to follow another event almost like a straight line demanding we see our dual world from the old archetype structure whereas fourth dimension teaches us the power of perception. This is where the humans simply "know."

This process is where we can reconnect to our latent abilities by using our multi-sensory perception. This higher order gathers information, using logic and understanding which give us a power that originates in the heart. This increased human awakening will give us a new awareness and freedom, all the while flowing with each moment of our lives. With these many developed sacred gifts from above, would this be an invitation for the many star people to return for a visit to Mother Earth?

How many ways can we explain the powers of the color blue? To curtail the negative powers of blues, stop feeling blue. Stop having a blue day. Stop singing the blues. Stop arguing until you are blue in the face. Stop holding your breathe until you turn blue. Stop creating unhappy mood swings, melancholy, depression and being down in the dumps. The negative effect of the color blue is arrogance, fright, unreliability, self- righteousness, dogmatism, manipulation and stubbornness. This thinking ties us to our dull dogmatic daily routine lives, keeping us self-centered and withdrawn from the world, most times even denying the existence of the soul. Since blue is the color of the throat, why use your voice to speak harsh and mean to others? Shakespeare once said most human auras look like porcupine quills all jagged, bristled and fretful.

The color blue brings purity to the heart. A true blue friend is a good friend, giving more depth to their understanding of you. Since blue is calming, we should surround ourselves with this color when we need depth of focus. A predominant shade of blue in our aura gives us deeper clarity in our thoughts with strong personalities.

Sometimes when you watch a healer working you will see a blue aura around them or a blue shaft of energy coming from the top of their head. When a healer scans a body, she or he usually see a blue grid-like form over the body. The color can range from dark blue to grayish blue. Most healers use the color blue for to cleanse the energy and remove an energy block in the physical body. The color Blue will discourage a disease, once the nervous system is calm. Blue will also reduce fevers and slow down bleeding. Blue is excellent for healing of emotional stress, anxiety, impatience, greed, control issues and chaotic situations. A focused beam of a blue light will remove negative energy and repair a damaged etheric body, all the while speeding up the thought process and helping one to higher spiritual awareness.

According to an old English wedding custom, the bride would wear blue ribbons on her wedding gown and a blue sapphire in her wedding ring. Once blue stood for fidelity, yet in today's times, fidelity is not considered an asset. Look at the many humans who accidentally fall into the pitfalls of the common unfaithful.
In the precious years of my Grandmother's life, I remember her saying, "All humans are two people, the good one and the evil one. She was a great seerer and used the powers of color and sound to heal others. In her subtle way, my grandmother never spoke of her healing powers. Everyone knew she was gifted with the power of 'laying on of hands.

Before any healing, my Grandmother would enter the Inipi, the sweat lodge, and speak to her spiritual helpers to delve deeper into the problem of the person's soul needs. Once my grandmother was satisfied with the collective knowledge about the ill person, she would send a chosen apprentice to place the person in a prepared semi dark room. When my grandmother entered the room with burning sage and certain herbs. She touched the person without saying a word, as she mentally placed her patient into a relaxed state to balance the energy, all the while scanning the sick body to clear the energy blockage and remove the dark debris that created the illness. Once satisfied she would take the ill person into the Inipi for a healing sweat. I loved attended these healing ceremonies and waited in delight for the bright blue shining balls to circle throughout the Inipi.

The color blue cleanses your heart allowing you to embrace and understand the oldest of philosophy. To see and understand depth of the color blue you must come with a pure mind to interrelate with another's soul. Blue is neutral and supports both the female and male energy. It has a calming high frequency sound, which allows the mind to go beyond time, space and dimension. This depth will assist you in communicating with your loved ones who have passed on to the spirit world. When we reach back in time we will remember humankind is spirit not flesh. Life and death is a mere circle of processing.

The color blue will help you develop your ability to communicate with all things. A pure mind will build a philosophy to follow in your life, helping you embrace a soothing serenity, unity and bring calmness to ones life. When you connect your will-power to the Divine Will, you will bring peace and order to your life. This regal feeling of the gifted power of blue in every moment, minute, day or night is broadcasting from your inner world to your outer world. We as a human should give our faith to ourselves as well as others.

To live well is the power source of good intentions. It stimulates our appreciations for the arts and music. It is you who create the blueprint of your life through your actions, deeds and thought process. Our dual principle of life comes in living color. Good thoughts enhance energy. Bad thoughts diminish energy.

Blue Energy

We live in a world that is ruled by cause and effect. What thought created the problem and what effects did you suffer from believing and following that particular thought process?

You are the one that creates your thoughts. Why not become conscious of your thoughts, therefore transforming the negative into a positive so it will not manifest itself into a diseased body or a mental collapse. If you find lemons in your life, why not make lemonade?

The color blue affects the environment as well as all life. When a human becomes aware, they are a thought away from internal healing. You will know this to be true when you will feel a peace and a boost of energy coming from the soul level through the heart. When a person has been negligent with their mind, leaving it in a negative state for long periods of time, the pursuit to heal can be very trying. Once we understand the dangers of cause and effect, we can locate and remove the distorted intention in every thought process. Blue is the energy that will open your mind. Why not make a decision to use positive energy and remove all fear, doubt, arrogance and ego from your life? Be determined and patient, believing in yourself until the clear blue energy has filled you with self-love, respect, kindness and courage. Go beyond the physical senses and touch your loving soul. Become determined to heal all aspect of yourself by using the greatest antiseptic in the world, the color Blue. Challenge all that you are! Create your world through your good thoughts. Think! Believe! Know! Who is this awesome person that I am becoming? Come right with your intentions and create the energy that will fulfill your desires and NEVER! EVER! LIE TO YOURSELF!

There are seven rites on our sacred pipe. The first is, "The keeping and releasing of the soul. In this ceremony, we pray for two good red days and two good blue days. This could mean the end of the world as we know it or an individual who has let go of the ego and ignorance to receive the wisdom directly from Creator, Wakan Tanka. The old predictions say, when the world comes to an end, the moon will turn red and the sun will turn blue.

In 1890, the keeping and releasing of the soul was banned by the United States Government by establishing a law telling all Indian's to release the souls that were kept by the Sioux nation. If you wish to learn more about this ceremony: contact Bureau of American Ethnology, Francis La Flesche Washington,D.C., bulletin No. 101 "War and Peace ceremony of the Osage Indian or the Oglala Sioux account by Black Elk, written by Joseph Epes Brown.

TECHNIQUE TO SEE THE AURA EXERCISE
Light a candle, any color you choose. If you are a beginner, the eyes will burn slightly due to weak muscles. Look into the flame until your eyes feel uncomfortable. Close your eyes. Still the mind, slow down the breath, establish a rhythm between the mind and body. Drift in this calmness. When you are comfortable open the eyes. Again look at the candle flame or any chosen object without blinking. When the eyes begin to tear, gently close them, roll your eyeballs up and see the image in your minds eye. At first you may see an outline or possibly it may look as a negative. Keep trying these exercises to develop focus and use patience to train the mind. Another exercise you may try. Place a large mirror in front of you and study your expressions. Try to see the color of energy that surrounds your head. This simple exercise is to train the mind to see and feel in a different way.
Good Luck

From ShaTonga's Desk

SHATONGA AND JAKES THOUGHTS.
THANKS TO ALL MY FRIENDS THAT VOTED FOR ME.
I WON, HANDS DOWN! MY FOOTPRINTS ARE CUT IN STONE.

Margaret did her vision quest during all the rain and flooding we had in Las Vegas. The Mommie bought a big tent and covered the pit. Margaret stayed dry and went without food and water for four days. Shatonga and I took great care of her. Sometimes it was difficult. You see, we fear we will melt in the rain. But never-the-less we trudged through constant rain for four long, days and nights to make sure she was okay. We felt so sorry for Margaret. We tried to get her to come in the house even offered to share our blankets but she declined.

ShaTonga and I discussed this for hours when suddenly ShaTonga remembered the Mommie once said: The world is filled with magic. If you Smile at another, WATCH closely and you will see the magical power of your smile transfer to their face. Well we were so thrilled to find we were magical puppies, when we saw our smile on Margaret face.

I ran in circles around and around letting everyone know my excitement. I wagged my tail so fast, I thought for sure it would fall off. ShaTonga told me I had no class. I watched her technique. She calmly walked over, getting Margaret's attention, smiled and laid down in front of her waiting for her ears to be rubbed. Personally, I liked my style better.

Can you imagine how powerful puppy thoughts are? So if you are reading my column, please let me know if I put a smile on your face or was it the ShaTonga style forcing you to think and pay for her smile? You know she's weird, she walks on peoples minds. Well thinking we were going to get a break, we did our second vision quest with our friend Marsha. The first day it rained and rained again. When we finally went to bed after midnight. We were cold and tired. We decided we could no longer work under these circumstances.

The next day, ShaTonga was up long before daybreak. I found her sitting at the big window watching the sunrise. I ran to play with her, yelling, Hooray, the sun is shining. She told me to be quiet, she was talking to the sun. Being respectful I lay down beside her and waited.

When we finally went for our run and ate our breakfast, we went to the pit to visit Marsha. Well, that was a dangerous day. A hawk flew within inches of the south door with a dove in its beak. ShaTonga told me to be careful because he was big enough to sweep down and take me with him. I laughed at her silly remark and went on about my business.

The very next day that nasty mockingbird flew down and hit me while I was doing my business. Everyone laughed including the mommie. What an embarrassing and scary moment. I learned a horrible lesson. I now have learned to stay close to ShaTonga. Even through all this terror, we continue with our own magic smile techniques placing smiles on everyone faces. The rest of the afternoon, we spent happy time running around playing in the warm sun, listening to the birds singing their favorite songs.

Well, we are still working around the clock. Our friend, Ann is now in the pit. We've known her for ten years. She thinks she knows everything. I tried to sneak up on her and, there she sat using my secret smiling techniques. How in the world did she learn our secret? We really like her, but sometimes she tries to tell us what to do. Can you imagine the audacity of this woman? Maybe her cats are telling her too much about puppies. Who knows about humans, they are different everyday, mood swings, happy, sad, silly, and busy.

Our friend Joy, a special kind of friend. She always greets us when she comes over. Joy did the same thing. She tried to steal our smile knowledge. ShaTonga told me all good people know the smiling technique. I don't believe her.

Our friend Alan spent his time in the pit. We love Alan, he speaks softly to us and rubs our ears. Sometimes he brings us really good treats. We saw him crying in happiness. ShaTonga and I ran over to see if he needed comforting and he just smile at us. Oh well, that's Alan.

Humans may know how to transfer a smile, but I think puppies are better at making people smile.

At the present time our friend Jaeynka is in the pit. She is so happy and smiles all the time. I ask ShaTonga to teach me another piece of magic. Well, she took pity on me and is now teaching me how to walk on a human mind. Fascinating knowledge. I'm also learning humans are a very complex species.

Bear a nickname is our friend Marion who came from England. She is the next vision questor and last for the year. I am going to practice my new technique and walk on her mind.

ShaTonga told me if I hurt her it will come back and hurt me. Oh Dear, maybe I should wait until I know what I am doing.

Puppy kisses and plays until next time.
ShaTonga and Jake

WOLF CLAN HOWLS, An American Indian online study course offers a connection to the many traditional medicine teachings. Since all things are born from the sacred circle, these presented teachings will introduce you to the original representations for all life forces, we are one. Each subject matter is adapted to fulfill your life as well as many growth levels of spiritual progress, building you a strong and solid foundation.

The number Four and Seven hold great significance to the Indian. The four directions -The four winds- The four elements-The four stages of life-The four ages of human-The four seasons-Old man four generations,(fire pit) etc.

Take a brief walk with me through the seven directions. Starting in the West, turning clockwise, we find the Thunderbeings. The color of the West is black. Thunderbeings bring us the life-giving rains, personal strength through introspection, while using our past experiences for growth. The North claims the color White, the bringer of the snow, teaching us purity, renewal and cleansing. The East is Yellow, signifying Illumination, Wisdom, and Clarity. The South is Red, the place where our physical life ends and our soul life begins, guiding us to our truth, growth and love. The Above direction embrace the color Blue. The sky calendars give us the maps to learn about the many worlds; using the sun, moon, stars, solar systems, galaxies and the millions of Universes.

The Below direction represents our green Mother Earth, the one that takes care of all her children. Her outer beauty surrounds us. Her inner beauty is hidden below the soil, filled with many powerful colored forms each holding hidden secrets of great power. And YOU, my friend, no matter your race, slowly weave the directions together as one massive power. We are all related.

Take a moment and think of yourself and how you live your life. Is your mind disciplined? Does your heart tell you the truth? This study course will help you embrace many hidden techniques, giving you a happier daily life and peace in your heart.

The teaching tools come from the oldest of ways, handed down orally through many generations, through our history, legends, time, space, matter and spirit. You will learn to use this vast knowledge of sacred medicine ways that are needed in everyday life, all the while feeding your soul as you step onto the Red Road.

Reflect for a moment and look closer at our ever-changing times. Today's society neglects the needs of the people. In the external world, life demands we survive using our mental capacities to progress forward in the monetary world while staying in the presence of our non-feeling logical mind.

We have a right to have the better things in life, and that's good. Why can't this be accomplished? Why is this journey of life so hard? We are told to fulfill our material needs. Once this is achieved, why must we consistently struggle with silent loneliness trying to fulfill the desperate need of being loved, nurtured, respected and given kindness? The answer is: THE WALK FROM THE HEART TO THE HEAD IS ONLY 18 INCHES.

It takes great courage to stand up for who you are in this dog-eat-dog external world. One must have strong principles to walk and talk in truth, strength and kindness. The integrity of the soul yearns for peace and love in the heart. Creator wants us to live in material comfort yet stay within the harmonics of the natural laws.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Wind Wolf Woman

  Wind Wolf Woman is in the bookstores at $24.95.

I hope to meet all of you as I tour with the book. If you wish to buy the book you may order it from my web page for $22.95 plus $3.00 shipping and handling. Let me send you a personalized autographed copy.

"Wind Wolf Woman", an autobiographical account, chronicles the life history of a fourth-generation American Indian medicine woman who learns to balance on the razor's edge between two cultures - the Red world and the White world - with vastly different belief systems. In this epic journey of her search for identity and spirituality, she struggles determinedly to find a place for herself in both cultures while battling rejection. After traveling around the world and learning from many spiritual teachers, she returns full circle to her traditional Indian roots.

Born an illegitimate breed and deposited days later on her father's doorstep she knew nothing of her birth mother until later in life. Named Sunbeam by her paternal grandmother and raised under her strong hand of discipline, Sunbeam learns the sacredness of all life and how it relates to the medicine ways.

In crafting her life story, Mahinto - lecturer, teacher, and medicine woman - reveals the twentieth-century plight of the Indian people, who until recently were portrayed as a nomadic race riding free as the wind over the land they called home. At the same time, she offers promise that all cultures can, by honoring the preciousness of life, walk together in harmony on our sacred Mother Earth.
