Welcome to my World, Walks With Thunder

Freedom, Liberty and Justice: A Basic Native American Right

 

Yes, I know that is in the American Constitution too.  Have you ever seen those shirts and posters that say “Fighting Terrorism since 1492” and then there is a picture of Sitting Bull in his war paint?  It’s a statement from a people who hold negative feelings.  It was not that long ago that African Americans and Indians had to use the back door not the front, that we could not walk as equals in America because our skin was not pink.  Our people, the old ones and some middle aged ones, still remember this.  They hold hatred for the White people they feel took our way of life and our land.

 

I say it is time to let that hatred go.  We are a conquered people and we should own that.  As conquered people we should be like the Japanese. They are also a conquered people, but they are doing it with style.   Did you know that Japan owns much of the United States?  Ever hear of Sony, Honda, Toyota, etc, those Japanese companies invested in real estate here in the United States?  They may not have won the war but they are certainly kicking American financial butts.  So yes, we Native Americans are a conquered people, so let's use that casino money and reinvest in our people and real estate here in our ancestral lands.  Let's buy our heritage back!

 

Stop drinking and drugging, and abusing.  It is time to use our liberty, and hold our heads up because we are the Native Peoples of this land.  Our spiritual way is a great way of life; embrace it once more.  You do not have to have Red skin to embrace this way.  It was foretold that the children’s children of our conquerors would embrace our spiritual ways while the parents looked on in wonder.  That is happening right now.  Let go of our negative feelings about those who conquered our people.  That is a past generation's burden, not ours. Okay, so they gave us firewater. We gave them tobacco; I think that makes us even. 

 

We hold ourselves back; let's stop doing that and move forward into a future that embraces all the peoples and share our spirituality with those who want to learn.  Let's send a message to those who would steal our sweat lodge for money that they are not welcome in our lodges.  Only those who would follow the good Red road are embraced into our spirituality.  Lets own our Freedom to choose how to live, Lets stand up for our Liberty to become educated, own property and have a voice.  Lets find the justice our people deserve by standing up and being proud of who we are.

 

Our peoples are from great nations, such as the Sioux, the Black Foot, Crow, Caddo and many more. The Code Talkers in World War II stood next to the White people and served our new nation.  I know it was not popular to be a Native American until Kevin Costner made "Dances With Wolves", then everyone had some Indian in them because at long last it was cool to be Native.  That movie began to heal our nations, and the prejudice that we had felt for decades started to ease. It helped but wasn’t a magic cure. You know what? It's still cool to be free, Native, and have the liberty, and freedom to walk in the front door. Take pride in yourself, your nation and follow our good, wide Red road in style.

	thoughts about visions               "A vision could put you on a path you don't want to follow." --Archie Fire Lame Deer, LAKOTA There is a saying, "You move toward and become like that which you think about." If we keep thinking about a bad thing, we will move in that direction. If we think about fear in some area of our life, we will probably experience this fear. We move toward and become like that which we think about. If we think about secret things, these secret things will come to pass. Our visions are very powerful. Visions determine our direction, our lives. If you think about lustful things, it's a matter of time before you'll be wrestling with it. We should think about our visions to make sure they include the Great Spirit in every area. Great Spirit, today, give me Your vision to follow. Don Choyhis A vision is some times found in a dream other times it comes to us while we are awake. What we do with this vision is up to us.  We can believe in it and follow it, make decisions that make it come true.  We can forget about it, dismiss it as fantasy.  If we do that I think we miss  where we are supposed to be.  The universe has given us a glimpse of where it wants us to be or where we are supposed to be.  Though some times it is a warning of what not to do.  My visions are of where I am supposed to be.  What we power becomes our reality.  So if we are negative then our lives have that and if we love then we have that.  If we power our visions then it follows that we have that vision come true.  Think about what you are powering in your life.  Are you happy with where you are right now or not?  What can you do to change all that?  Life is made up of choices and we all make them even if we choose to stay home in bed.  Live your life, don't settle for things that don't make you happy.  Find that happy happy you and enjoy your life.

have been moving along in my process of healing my heart.  Thursday I had a vision after talking with my pal PMH Atwater, she is the worlds leading researcher on the Near Death experience.  I embraced the emptiness I was feeling, let go of the despair and other feelings to find myself in my bedroom.  Alone, and letting the reality of everything melt away till it was an empty room.  Just my conscience thought there, then even the room melted away leaving only grayness and my awareness of nothingness.  I floated there for a time and then its like my head lifted from my chest and I could see. 

 

I saw a bright moss green and it was beautiful.  My vision shifted back a bit and I could see it was a woman’s leg she had on a moss green bib overall, green sneakers and T-shirt.  She held a baby.  Her hair was pale blonde and long to her elbows.  Reminded me of Alice in Wonderland with her straight cut bangs in front and her blue eyes.  She smiled at me.  I could not see the baby's face.  It was a boy about  6 months old and he looked well cared for, happy.  She picked him up off her chest and turned him so I could see his face.  He had my eyes and a wonderful baby smile.  My vision faded and my room once again was around me. I feel healed.

 

Saturday I had a call from a Client in Seattle and she told me she was so unhappy.  I asked her why she had given up.  She had put blocks up to her healing and I said why are you doing that.  Don't give up don't put blocks in your own way, move forward and believe in your vision...Put on your big girl panties and suck it up!  Yes I noticed too, its my vision I need to hang on to, its me giving up, its me putting blocks in my path.  I am the one who needs to put on my big boy pants and suck it up too!  The universe talks to me and sometimes through others, even I can understand that her problems were really mine.

 

The next message I got was later that night.  Be pure, be thankful for my blessings, and know I am worthy of the love the universe has for me.  

 

This has been a growth period for me, all my metaphysical gifts are empowered and seem bigger or more powerful than ever before.  

 

Moving forward and I am out of my cave.  Call me today and enjoy the power of growth and rebirth.

"If the Great Spirit wanted men to stay in one place He would make the world stand still; but He made it to always change..."
--Chief Flying Hawk, OGLALA SIOUX
The Elders tell us change occurs in two directions. They say, "That which is built is constantly being destroyed; that which is loose is being used to build the new." In other words, change is constantly going on. Many times we hear people say, "I hate change." Does it make sense that the Great Spirit would design people to hate it? The Great Spirit designed people with change abilities such as visioning, imagery and imagination. Maybe we need to learn to use these tools and then we'll look forward to change.

Great Spirit, today, let me see the harmony of Yours, truly changing world.
Don Coyhis

Some times we follow a vision.  It may come as a dream or a waking dream.  It seems so real that we have to believe in it, a gift from the creator just for us.  In time that vision may seem false, because we doubt it. We change it by doing that.  Change can be a good thing in visions unless we love the vision because it makes us happy to think that is where we are going.  Don't give up on your visions.  Don't doubt the gift that creator has given us.  Believe in your dreams and make decisions that bring you closer to them to being real.

I follow my visions, dreams even when they seem impossible.  Yet here I am on MTV again last Wednesday.  Two hollwood producers asking me if I want to make a pilot for my TV show.  I follow my heart and sometimes that gets it broken, even if the vision says its where I am supposed to be.  What else can one do, but belive and trust in the vision.  To do otherwise would say that the creator lies and that cannot be so.

May you never give up on your dreams or visions.  Follow your heart, walk with confidence that you are loved by the creator.

Walks With Dreams...

I am in LA to meet with two producers about my own TV show.  They want to shoot a pilot TV show so they can sell it to the networks.  I love this town.  When it loves ya it doesn't hold back!  The key there is that LA or Hollywood has to love you, its spirit has to embrace you or nothing happens.  Many people come here and zip, nothing, still waiting for some thing to move along after years and years, still nothing. 

Manifesting is what I do best.  Call me and lets get what you want out of life moving in your direction.  What I do is real.  MTV, Lifetime, Discovery, who knows what TV network will pick up my show.  All I know is its a very fun time to be alive and in LA.

I’m sure most of you are aware of what’s going on and I do not need to tell you that a nasty virus is making it’s way around the world. You’re probably also inundated with frightening forecasts and statistics. So I won’t repeat any of that now. The reason for this special Kyyndred’s Closet newsletter is to share with you some antiviral herbs and recipe’s that the media is not telling you about. So, I’ll post those first and then I’ll ramble on at the end.

Antiviral Herbs (in no particular order)
Please note that herbs are capable of interacting with medications and can exacerbate certain medical conditions. Please be responsible and check with your health care provider before treating yourself.

Grape Seed Extract
Elderberry leaves
Elderberry syrup (made from the berries)
Garlic
Echinacea
Green Tea
Licorice Root
Olive Leaf
Zinc
Fresh Apple Juice
Theives Oil. (I know, not an herb, but I’ll address that at the end of the newsletter)

Immune System Boosting Herbs

Echinacea
Astragalus
Ashwagandha
Boneset
Siberian Ginseng
Vitamin C in large doses
Garlic
Onion
Shiitake Mushroom
Usnea

Recipes


Elderberry Syrup
Elderberry is antiviral in any form and said to be just as effective as the western medicine antiviral medications. The syrup is especially potent against viruses.
 2 cups water
1 cup fresh elderberries or ½ cup dried
1 cup honey (adjust to taste)

Put water and berries in a pot with a lid and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down and let them simmer for 30-45 minutes. Mash the berries and then strain the liquid. Add about a cup of honey and shake well.

Take 1-2 tablespoons every 2 hours during acute phase of the illness (first 24-48 hours) and then every 4 hours thereafter. Reduce this to 1 tsp to 1 tablespoon for children. Babies under 12 months should not have honey. Reduce the dosage to only twice a day if you’re using it to ward off a virus.
Keep this in the refrigerator. You can store it for up to 3 months untouched, but once it’s opened and used, it’ll only last about one month. Throw it out if you see any mold.

Antiviral Tea
“Herbal Teas by Kathleen Brown
1 part Elder Flowers
1 part Ginger Root freshly grated
½ part Yarrow Flowers

Mix herbs together and use about a teaspoon per cup of water to brew your tea. Pour hot water over the herbs and steep for 15-20 minutes.

Antivirus Supreme
Herbal Teas by Kathleen Brown
½ part Ginger Root freshly grated
1 part Rose Hips
1 part Sage Leaves
1 part Thyme Leaves
½ part Peppermint Leaves
1-2 droppers of Echinacea or Usnea tincture.

Add ginger and rose hips to boiling water, reduce heat and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
Remove from heat and add the rest of the herbs. Steep for another 10-15 minutes. Add the tincture to the last few sips.


Thieves Oil
 
Thieves Oil was created based on research on four 15th century thieves who rubbed oils and spices on themselves to protect themselves from the Black Plague while robbing the dead and dieing. They were eventually caught and disclosed their recipe in exchange for a more lenient sentence.
 
The Thieves Oil recipe consists of Cloves, Lemon, Eucalyptus, Rosemary and Cinnamon. This recipe was tested at Webster State University, Ogden, Utah, and found to have a 99.96% effective rate against airborne bacteria. The oils are highly anti-viral, antiseptic, antibacterial and anti-infectious and help protect the body from viruses, flu’s, colds and other airborne disease.
 
To use this oil for your home and family, simply diffuse in your home or workplace for less than 30 minutes at a time or dilute in a carrier and rub under the arms and on the chest at the base of the neck or the bottom of the feet. The blend is best used to prevent colds and flu’s etc; however, it can also be used on someone who is already sick to help speed up recovery time. I especially use the diffuser in our home when one of my children is ill so as to prevent spreading it to the rest of us! You can find this blend on the internet starting at $40/half ounce bottle and many sites claim to have THE only true recipe, however, Mother Nature does not play favorites and these oils work no matter who’s name is printed on the bottle.

I plan on mixing a big batch for my family. If you would like some for yours, let me know asap .


My Rambling about the Swine Flu
The media is full of information telling us that the flu is deadly, but not much else. It’s strange to me that the general media does not discus why this strain of flu which has killed a few hundred people so far is so much scarier than the common flu that kills thousand every year. Rarely do I see the term “Cytokine Storm” mentioned on MSN. What I understand about the swine flu is this. This flu is actually a rare combination of mutated swine, bird and human virus. It is very similar to the Spanish Flu virus that killed 40 million people in 1918. The difference with this flu is that it usually does not kill the victim directly. The common flu tends to ravage the elderly, very young and the weak because their immune systems are not able to combat it. The swine flu is particularly deadly to the young and healthy because it causes the immune system to attack the body. This is called Cytokine Storm. Look it up on wikipedia. Basically, it means that the swine virus may enter the lungs and the immune system of the victims body will in turn attack the lungs so fiercely trying to kill the virus that it actually destroys the lungs and kills the victim itself. The stronger the immune system, the greater the damage.
 I can see where immune boosters would be a great idea when trying to fend off the virus, but during a cytokine storm, these same boosters would only make things worse.

"Tell the people not to cry. Tell them to be happy."
--John Fire Lame Deer, LAKOTA (told to his son, Archie, as he died)

Our Elders know about the two Worlds, the Physical World and the Spiritual
World. Many times, before we pass to the Spirit World, our relatives, who
have gone there before us, will come for us and they will help us. The
Spirit World, the Elders say, is a good, happy and harmonious place. When we
die, it means we have only entered another world. We will all see one
another again.

Great Spirit, allow me to understand both the Spirit World and the Physical
World. Today, let me be happy.
Don Coyhis...

I know that the spirit goes on having remembered many past lives and how I passed from one world to the next.  It is a time of joy and perhaps some small bit of sorrow for those we leave behind.  We travel in what some call soul groups.  Some leave early and others linger longer, but we always come back together because its our soul family.

Smile, this is not all there is.  Be happy your soul group is always with you.

"You have wandered away from your teachings. You must concentrate on your
spiritual teachings...Don't be sidetracked."
--Henry Quick Bear, LAKOTA

Why are the Elders always telling us to know The culture and listen to the
teachings? When We go off track, why do the Elders say, return to the
teachings? The teachings tell us how to live in harmony with the Laws and
principles of the Great Spirit. Living means Life - a good life, a happy
life. Many of us have grown up without the teachings and the culture, that
is why we don't know how to live. To improve on relationships, to treat our
children with honor and to respect our Elders, we need to live by the old
teachings again.

Great Spirit, today, show me how to live. Don Coyhis

Yes I can see our peoples have changed the teachings to a new modern way.  The tobacco ceremony is a prime example of that.  White mans cloth, string, flags in our traditional ceremonies.  400 years a go we didn't use that stuff, we didn't have it, so even our most sacred traditions are tainted.  I am non-traditional because of that, call me Ancient Traditional.

Hello Everyone,

Those MTV people are a bit slow in letting me know when the show I am on airs. This Sunday February 15th at 9 PM on MTV.   Was that hard?   I have no idea how that will look or even how it will change my life, if at all.  My web goddess Jane says there is no bad publicity so here we are just looking forward to the show.

"Oh God! Like the Thunderbird of old I shall rise again out of the sea; I

Attracting what you want in your life.

 

Just fresh from going to pay my speeding ticket I realized I was only attracting what I thought should happen.  When I have earned sppeding tickets in the past it has always been because the city changed the speed zone from 35 to 25 MPH.  This time however was my error in judgement.  I was driving along on Interstate 5, 40 miles north of LA.  You go up this mountain for about 30 minutes and then your over it.  Just listening to music on my 6 CD changer in my Mustang Convertible.  Enjoying life, when I was passed by four cars.  Wanting to keep up with the flow of traffic I speed up to keep up.  I looked at the trucks I was coming up on so fast and glanced at my speedomitor.  98 mile an hour, Slow down baby, just as I realized that and slowed down I saw a California State Patrol officer.  He pull out and I pulled over and another car pulled over. 

They don’t really care that your new car accelerates faster than your used to lol.  So I earned my ticket and realized that I had been expecting it since I bought the car.  I had manifested a speeding ticket.  I thought the car I bought was a beautiful car but also a speeding ticket magnet.  My thoughts become my reality…. That’s a big statement think about what your powering with your words and thoughts.

Today I am powering success.  I want to make a deal with a pal of mine to fix her company and get 25% of the profits for the next 5 years.  That is working for me.  Oh yes the ticket mobile, I manifested that car in three days.  I heard about it on a Thursday and by Saturday it was mine.  Even though I didn’t have the money to own it, I made a deal to make payments to the owner for it.  Life is good. 

All I have to do now is difuse my negative thoughts about the car being a ticket magnet, easy I release those thoughts that don’t serve me.  Just say it out loud a few times.  Every thing is getting better and better in my life!  The love of my life is on her way and getting closer and closer to me all the time. 

Lets power the words and actions that empower us and serve us.  Let go of those negative ideas and expectations that don’t work for you.  Make a goal and make decisions that take you to that goal in a great way.

If your having trouble doing that call me and I can help you.

Fantasy Factory, a new show on MTV airs on Feb 8th 2009.  It used to be Rob and Big last year. Lets back track a bit, in November 2008 I got an email from Dale a producer on the show.  He wanted to know if I could hook Rob up with a Power Animal.  Of course I could and 5 hours later I was in the MTV studio in LA doing just that. 

Dale had found me though my LA Shamanism meetup group.  Jenn the other producer had found me on my walkswiththunder dot com site and wanted to call me but didn't because she  thought i was in Seattle.  They compared notes and said they found a Shaman who they wanted on the show.  Lucky me, I was in LA when they decided that.

I was in studio for about an hour and a half.  In that time I did a tobacco ceremony and most of the tobacco faded out of existance on camera.  Gave Rob a blessing to find the one woman who he could have the best relationship with.  Did a Energy Healing for Robs cousin, who had a neck brace on. 

How much of that will be on the show I have no idea.  perhaps 3 minutes maybe more.  Just wanted to let you folks know I would be on TV soon.  Of course I don't know when its going to be on.

I met Rolling Thunder in a dream 5 years ago.  Yes I know has passed from this life to the next 14 years ago.  Must be why I met him in a dream!  He comes to me now when I have a life path change, for the past few days his messages have been just for me.  Maybe though they are for you too.  I will share them with you. here.

RT is just reminding me that I choose what I have in my life.  I am a co-creator in my life experence as are you.  Long post short is, Think about what you want in your life and keep being positive it will happen and it will.  Bring negativity to the party and that will come too, so watch what your giving your power to folks!

May the new year be all you always wanted it to be in a good and powerful way.

Walks With Thunder.... Call me and I can share what I learned on this Medicine path with you.

Meditations
".because if you believe in something, and believe in it long enough, it will come into being."
--Rolling Thunder, CHEROKEE
We are created by the Great One to accomplish His will through our mental pictures or visions. Our thoughts are three dimensional: words, pictures and feelings. We create the vision by thinking the words and we create feeling for the vision by feeling enthusiasm, desire, commitment and other strong beliefs. Once we create the vision, we move toward and become like that which we think about. All visions are tested by our self talk; for example, "This isn't going to happen, where is the money coming from anyway?" When this happens, we need to let go of the test and focus on belief in the vision. Why? Because God said if we believe it long enough, He will guarantee it!!!

Great One, let my beliefs be strong today. Help me to have faith in my visions

Don Coyhis

Meditation  2

"People have to be responsible for their thoughts, so they have to learn to
control them. It may not be easy, but it can be done."
--Rolling Thunder, CHEROKEE
WE control our thoughts by controlling our self talk. At any moment we
choose we can talk to ourselves differently. The fight comes with the
emotions that are attached to our thoughts. If our emotion is high and seems
to be out of control, we can say to ourselves STOP IT!, take a few deep
breaths, then ask the Creator for the right thought or the right decision or
the right action. If we practice this for a while, our thought life will be
different. It helps if in the morning we ask God to direct our thinking. God
loves to help us.

Great Spirit, today, direct my thinking so my choices are chosen by You.

Meditation 3
"We don't have to say or think what we don't wish to. We have a choice in
those things, and we have to realize that and practice using that choice."

--Rolling Thunder, CHEROKEE
Having choices makes us fully accountable. No one can make us think anything
we don't want to think. No one can determine our behavior and how we act.
It's not what's going on but how we look at what's going on. If someone does
something and we get upset, we can change how we look at it any time we
want. We can tell ourselves in the morning that the day is going to be
beautiful and that we have expectations that great things will happen. Doing
this daily sets our mind to look for the joy and the excitement of each day.

Great Spirit, help me to choose my thoughts with Your wisdom

New Year New Love

Here we are at the beginning of a new year.  The old year has ended on a good note as 2008 was rough for most of us.  The price of Gas went down from a high of $5.00 to $1.69 per gallon.  We have a New President.  An old love has ended, though sad, this does clear the path for a new relationship. 

The feeling of being in love is one of the best ones we has humans can have.  Oh sure being at the birth of your child or getting married are all up there on the list of great feelings.  I want to feel that again.  My 1^st blog here talks about Magical Beginnings, and that works.  This time though I am going to add a bit more of magic to what I want. 

That last time I followed the instructions to bring a magical relationship into my life it worked too well.  Have to admit it was my fault I misspoke myself.  I ask for the woman of my dreams to come into my life in a good and gentle but fast way… See the mistake there, “dreams” is plural as in more than one dream.  Not a good thing when three beautiful, magical, and spiritual women show up with in weeks of each other.  One has to choose, and perhaps I chose poorly and perhaps I didn’t.  Only time will tell.  That was two years ago.

This year I am asking for the one woman who fills my heart, mind and spirit with joy, love, beauty and magic.  I want her to manifest in a powerful, magical, immediate way.  She should be sweet, intelligent, a great mother, fairy like, best friend, partner in all things, writer, professional, and of course the most beautiful woman in the room (for me anyways).  I have raised the bar on what I want and you should too!  After all this 2009 is going to be the best year ever. 

How do I know that?  For me it will be.  For starters I am going to be on MTV on a show called Fantasy Factory, what used to be the Rob and Big show. My classes in LA, SFO, Sedona, Maui, UK, and Ireland begin.  Gotta love that!  I am going to be at Disney Land for my birthday on the 26^th of the month.

Give a man a hand then, and put your energy with mine to call this goddess to my life.  Lets get this blessing on the way then!  Oh and Thanks for helping!! Call me for a reading...  As a dear friend and lover used to say Happy Happy!
