"Native American Indian healing "

[AlaskaGrl]

Do Indians consider this a form of exploitation? ? I would imagine so but then I guess this can get to be a sticky situation with some people being legit healers with tribal affiliations working to make what they do available to the masses via mass market strategy.

What does - Native American Indian healing involve?

Native American Indian healing combines spirituality and herbal medicine to treat illness, where massage is introduced to stimulate the oxygen flow into the blood stream. Before massage is initiated, the healer stresses the importance of balance and harmony between the body and spirit in order to maintain good health, including deep breathing and a good positive relationship with the community, which provides for social interaction with the external World.

The Native American Indian belief is that illness results from spiritual imbalances both within the individual and between the individual and the community. Therefore, a strong adherence to and dependence on medicine men and women, or shamanic healers, is practiced in order to fight illness and disease. Constant contact with one's spirit guides and reverence to the Great Spirit for healing and well-being are a fundamental way of life.

Native American Indian tradition focuses on four elements of healing:

1. Symbolic ritual: the use of drums and chanting to enlist the aid of the spiritual world.
2. Shamanic healers: chanting and saging for purification.
3. Restoration of the body and spirit: deep breathing, drinking of teas and fasting to rid the body of impurities and restore a spiritually pure state.
4. Use of herbs with massage: herbs within a fermented rubbing solution are introduced via massage with the placement of stones on the body for the concentration and promotion of healing.

How does Native American Indian methodology treat symptoms of illness or control pain where conventional treatments have failed?

Spiritual communication, meditation and deep breathing may reduce stress and anxiety, bring about peace of mind and produce a sense of wholeness among patients. Native American Indian knowledge of herbs is extensive. Meditation, deep breathing and herbs can relieve pain faster and avoid the side effects caused by prescription drugs or other conventional treatments.

Is the purest form of Native American Indian Methodology of healing.
This method is the only one to be utilised in the UK - And, has qualified teachers that have been taught by a Shaman of the United States.

Native American Indian Massage and healing allows the body to come into balance with itself by helping it heal itself through massage.

This particular type of massage is particularly ideal for sports related injuries. Why?

During a sports activity the body is pushed to its maximum ability. When the body sustains an injury the injured area goes into trauma. The treatment relieves the shock of injury and allows the injured area to come into one with the body. Within 10 minutes of the massage there will be a substantial difference.

"" Article: Interactive yoga jewelry and the fire of life - by Daniel Noyes ?  
      
 ? The life force, fire of life, or chi that is the source of our being on this physical plane comes to us through a window or portal of energy. The art of practicing yoga is one modality that allows us to focus and tap into that source, to energize, and find balance and joyful calm. Finding that quiet place inside of us and a sense of physical and energetic balance can be a lot harder outside the confines of the yoga studio. What if we could access the fire of life on a regular basis in our daily lives, and on a deeper basis during yoga sessions? We would move closer to a state of ‘perfect balance’, where our chakras and acupuncture meridians would maintain vibrancy and balance, and daily life would have less stress and be more joyful. Practicing yoga is a great way to release stress as well as develop a mindful presence to our place in the universe. The breathing and various poses release stored up blockages and promote a flow of energy through our bodies. Unfortunately, we can not practice yoga 24 hours a day. Further, we are surrounded by things that can really stress us and put us out of balance. There are the environmental stresses of air, food and water pollution. Emotional and mental stresses from work and relationships can also have a dramatic effect on our natural balanced state. So what to do?

There is a new product that has been developed and tested in a clinical setting that can enhance the yoga experience: the Sunphire interactive yoga pendant. It is specially enhanced so that when worn it will open the portal to your fire of life. This naturally supports and enhances your chakra energies and acupuncture meridians so as to assist you in finding the perfect balance. It is especially effective during yoga, but also during your daily life. This dynamic yoga pendant brings light, energy, and well-being to all holistic lifestyles. So it also benefits practices of reiki,bodywork, meditation and personal growth. More information on the Sunphire can be found at www.thesunphire.com. Here are some other helpful suggestions for maintaining a mindful focus and reducing stress: Remember to take deep slow breaths when you feel stressed. Drink plenty of water. Avoid doing things in excess. Maintain a healthy and nutritious diet. Take a break from your daily or weekly routines and do something completely different. Spend some time alone every day. Get out in nature whenever time permits. Try not to take things personally. Practice yoga at least 4-5 times a week.

From a young age Carolyne has had experiences that are ‘unexplainable’.

Haven't we all? When I was five I once caught a sparrow in my bare hands by sneaking up on a flock of them. If I was of a certain frame of mind I could claim that this means I'm some kind of "bird shaman" with super-dooper special powers. And I bet there's some hippie reading this and pitying me for not realising that I could develop my super-dooper special powers and become a shaman if only I was more "spiritual".

Carolyne studied the Native American culture under Gloria Martinez Alcozer who is a Shaman of her people. Carolyne has since qualified in Native American Healing and massage.

gaaaaahhhhh *chews chunk out of desk, hurls monitor across room*

Has anyone heard of this Alcozer character? There's not much on the web. This press release says nothing about her being Native:

http://www.suite101.com/article.cfm/feminist_writings/110517

[educatedindian]

I know more than a little bit about Latino activists, being also Mexican myself and with a Cuban wife, and this is the first I've ever heard of her. I did find a few articles about her doing a walk for peace, that's about it.

If you go to the Belandu site, her own bio doesn't even mention her alleged ancestry. The only place to find it is in "Origins of Beldandu".

"Caddo Indians were a small group that inhabited the eastern and northeastern parts of Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana...Texas is the one state of the union where the Native American Indian had "completely" assimilated with the new settlers...
Alcozer Clan's Spiritual and cultural Belief:
My ancestors were from the northeastern part of Texas and after assimiliation, observing the photo above of my ancestors one can see that they did not continue the tradition of wearing deer skin and moccasins (many Natives did not). They also were not strong agriculturist instead they were horsemen, which led to speculation that they were more Comanche than Caddo but it wasn't true - And, just as our dress and customs were different so were our spiritual beliefs.
Within tribal nations there are clans that extend into extended families and within that extended family their spiritual beliefs and customs become strong in one particular belief and custom. My family's clan hold the belief of Belandu. Belandu, is the philosophy of complete balance and understanding within its environment.
The definition of "Belandu"  is 'Freedom'  a term to honour Ogua (the Great Spirit) and within that honour we honour each other and the beauty of the earth without restriction of ones humaness and fragility."

OK, why is a woman from Texas using the English spelling of honour, no tthe American one, honor?

The only English language sites I could find mentioning Belandu are from her and her franchisees. And here's something interesting. This history site says their word for Great Spirit is not Ogua, it's Ayanat Caddi, or as Ayo-Caddi-Aymay.
http://ops.tamu.edu/x075bb/caddo/Indians.html

Caddo traditions don't look a thing like her claims, and they don't seem in danger of dying out from assimilation.
