The Great Spirit Says: A Rainbow Warrior's Journey
The Great Spirit Says: A Rainbow
Warriors Journey is a spiritual and detailed account of
a personal shamanic journey to the universal mind. Drawing upon
my life-changing out-of-body experience, I share how, through
connecting to the eternal spiritual realm, we become free from
the fear of death and the unknown, and can experience an elevated
state of pure ecstasy and joy. I convey how the power of the
mind, when unconfined by time or space, has the ability to connect
to the voice of unity. This oneness contains the ancient knowledge
of our existence. When we allow the silence of nature and its
wisdom to heal us, we become connected to our highest self, elevating
personal growth and human evolution.
Excerpt from The Great
Spirit Says
Separateness is only an
illusion. When we hear from our inner ears and see with our inner
eyes we are then awake, and know that there is only one universal
voice, one God, one mind, one spirit.
About Me
In 2009, I had the opportunity to travel to Canada. While there, I met Flying Eagle - a shaman and spiritual teacher who was full-blooded Cree of the Cree Nation. We spoke for hours about spirituality and the great need for doing everything we can to heal the planet - thus healing ourselves. I participated in a sweat with him and other Native Americans, including his son who played the Native flute beautifully, leaving an indelible memory within my heart. Flying Eagle honored me by giving me a Native American name of "Little Wolf," for he felt my heart was sincere and I had honorable motivations and intentions. I cannot put into words how inspiring and spiritually uplifting this experience was. I knew then, I would spend the rest of my life using whatever talents I had to express my deepest gratitude for the beauty of this experience, my new given name, and the sacred time shared. I returned from Canada with a renewed vigor for life which matched the spiritual outlook Ive always believed in - I had found "home"! I remain adamant about doing my best to "walk on the good road" living what is sometimes called the "Beauty Way". Through my music and art, I now spend as much time as possible trying to bring added awareness to others of the great Importance of taking care of our Mother Earth and all our brothers and sisters (human and nonhuman alike).
How My Music and Art Come Together
Quotes,
Prayers, and Teachings
Below are some of my favorite
quotes concerning the Native flute and some Native American teachings
that I believe would lift the Spirit/Soul of anyone who reads
them.
The Earth has music
for those who listen.
William Shakespeare
It Rose-that chanted
mournful strain, like some lone spirits, oer the plain;
Twas musical but sadly sweet, such as when winds and harp strings
meet and take a long unmeasured tone.
Thomas L. McKenney
The radiance of one
flute shines healing warmth upon the hearts and souls of many,
the songs from one flute caress the inner minds and bodies of
all Nations. The melodic prisms from one flute pour forth in
abundance, inebriating those who are thirsty for the life-giving
drink of harmony.
Dr. Kathleen Joyce-Grendal
Bach gave us Gods
word, Mozart gave us Gods laughter, Beethoven gave us Gods
fire, and God gave us Music that we might pray without words.
From an old German opera house
An Indian Prayer
O GREAT SPIRIT, Whose
voice I hear in the winds,
And whose breath gives life to all the world, hear me!
I am small and weak, I need your strength and wisdom.
Let Me Walk in Beauty, and make my eyes ever behold the red and
purple sunset.
Make My Hands respect the things you have made and my ears sharp
to hear your voice.
Make Me Wise So that I may understand the things you have taught
my people.
Let Me Learn the lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock.
I Seek Strength, not to be greater than my brother,
but to fight my greatest enemy myself.
Make Me Always Ready to come to you with clean hands and straight
eyes.
So When Life Fades, as the fading sunset, my spirit may come
to you without shame.
American Indian Sacred Laws
Everything is an inseparable
part of the whole.
The Universe is the sacred expression of the Will and the Mind
of the Source and has been created with Love and ensouled with
Life.
Everything is characterized energy and is interchangeable with
anything else. So mind/matter/spirit are but different levels
of the same energy;
All things in the Universe have life, but they experience it
in different ways. Nothing is truly dead because
there is no such thing as no-motion.
Everything is made up of the same primary elements and receives
the same energies. But individual beings organize
themselves differently. Everything thus evolves within the law
of its own being.
Everything evolves by continually seeking harmony and balance
with everything else. The only constant in the Universe is change.
Everything is completely and intimately linked to everything
else, and everything else is subject to the sacred laws.
Everything is born of woman. Everything comes into existence
through the feminine principal.
Nothing must be done to harm the children, for the continuity
of life is through children.
Circular motion is the law of everything. Lineation is an illusion.
Absolute beginnings and endings do not exist because there are
no true beginnings.
Be certain of nothing. Let it be understood that as soon as you
are certain about anything you may be certain you are wrong.
For thirteen is about shifting energy from one dimension to another.
When we comprehend that, our whole dimension of existence and
life experiences is changed!
The Ten Native American Commandments

that dwell thereon with respect

Dedicate a share of your efforts to the greater good
Be truthful and honest at all times
Take full responsibility for your actions
Apache Blessing
May the sun bring you new
energy by day. May the moon softly restore you by night. May
the rain wash away your worries. May the breeze blow new strength
into your being. May you walk gently through the world and know
its beauty all the days of your life.
