Cherokee Medicine Man – Ayunini (Swimmer)

Published November 11, 2022 by tindertender

Swimmer (1835-March, 1899), Cherokee traditionalist and storyteller, was born in the Cherokee country of southwestern North Carolina. His Cherokee name, Ayunini, meaning “swimmer”, was trained by the masters of his tribe to be a medicine man, a doctor, and the keeper of tradition, he never learned to speak English but instead maintained his Native culture and heritage throughout his life. In fact, as it was intended he should be, he became the conservator of the history and traditions of his people.

As a youth he learned the Cherokee Syllabary from the elders of his tribe and began early to keep a notebook in which he recorded the sacred rights as well as the facts and stories of his people. He also made note of their ways of doing things and identified plants, roots, and barks whose use had proven useful or effective in one way or another.

During the Civil War Swimmer enlisted on 9 Apr. 1862 and served as second sergeant of the Cherokee Company A, Sixty-ninth North Carolina Confederate Regiment in Colonel William Thomas’s legion.

Moving Energy

Stand.

Raise your arms above your head.
Touch your thumbs together, make connection.
Arch your back while inhaling slowly.
You’ll feel energy at the root chakra.
Arch, continue to breathe in slowly.
Feel the energy rise up the body.
Continue inhaling slowly until you feel the energy move up head and arms.
Release the breathe.
Lower arms.
Relax.

Do at least once per day.

Before or after, whichever is most effective for you, make a metal note of things you have gratitude for. Gratitude consumes negativity of all kinds.

Surviving Grief

Living with a Broken Heart

Remember what the Tin Man said in the “Wizard of Oz” after he finally got a heart….

“Now I know I’ve got a heart because it’s breaking.”

If someone you love died, your heart is probably broken. So how do you live with a broken heart?

The answer isn’t how you fix it or move beyond it. The skill is learning to live with your grief as an ongoing way of being in the world. It’s the way you honor that which you love.

What I’m proposing is that, with enough healing, living with heartbreak can become natural, and very normal.

From my personal and professional experience, I can tell you that as you embark on your healing journey, you’ll start crying a whole lot more. Not just to clear pain, but for the simplest of everyday reasons, and out of nowhere. You’ll cry when you see a bird, a can of paint, an apple, or even the shape of a cloud.

Random things will make you cry.

The heart is designed to grieve, it wants to grieve…..it has to grieve!

Especially when it’s broken.

This is the price you pay for love. The loss of the life you thought you had, the life you once knew and held so dear. Loss of a dream you believed was true.

But you can also find and feel grief in opening your heart.

Opening it to love and to new possibilities. Opening it to what the future holds.

Isn’t that what life is all about? Endings and beginnings, closings and openings? The heart was designed to navigate you through this forever winding adventure called life. But you have to be willing to feel…..and to live with a broken heart.

Here’s the thing…..you can learn to live with your broken heart by befriending your grief.

You can discover the love that still exists around you…..and share that love with others who are also living with a broken heart.

Gary Sturgis – “Surviving Grief”

Exchange

Published October 29, 2022 by tindertender

“They” are limited. They cannot allow the full expression of a humans life force without purposefully keeping it in a constant state of flux.

Too much happiness causes humans to grow expansive. So there’s chaos, and war, and manipulation of consciousness, to keep the state of suffering alive.

Yes, they are limiting the expression of life for others, willingly, purposefully. Yet they want all the glory at the same time. And they need humanity to give it to them, rather than humanity claiming it for themselves. And so many do. Willingly “vote” for their “leader” or the commandeer of their lives, rather than accept their own rightful positions.

I for one wish to be my own boss … as my father puts it. Choosing my work every day on my own accord, living as I see fit and am capable of producing, without interference from so called commandeers. Living in peace, within a collective that knows how to barter and trade in their communities for what they need, rather than being sustained on wages from “rulers” in exchange for my time, my life.

It was once this way, and I foresee it will be this way again … for some of us.

Awareness Is Key

Published October 27, 2022 by tindertender

I say we ought not to take things personally, yet at times, I do. I’m not perfect.

Change cannot occur without awareness. I am aware.

When speaking about things that make me uncomfortable, I vow to keep it impersonal … no names mentioned. I understand this can often times be considered gossip, even if what is said is the truth.

Hard to believe, but even at 56 years old I have a lot to learn still.

The last twenty years have been spent unlearning what I was trained to be, and altering habitual patterns to be of some benefit, to self, and the way self is presented in the world, hopefully affecting others in a good way.

This past weekend I identified in my communication methods something that needs to be adressed, and I’ll work on this one aspect until I feel I’ve got it under control. Wrestling ones personal methods of communicating can be a challenge, for certain.

It is my hope we can share patience with each other as we navigate our own issues, and hopefully deal with them in a good way so we are less likely to hurt each other.

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes!

The nervous system is undergoing some radical changes at the moment. This can feel destabilising as our body attempts to manage electrical energy to establish homeostasis.

An influx of plasma energy is being countered by electromagnetic disturbances which are altering the earths surface charge and interfacing with our body. This can feel like an energetic assault and translate as turbulent emotional/mental states. One minute we may be feeling energised, optimistic and inspired, followed by a wave of feeling sluggish/drained, restless and anxious, which can be confusing.

The worst thing we can do is to condemn ourselves for feeling this way. These fluctuations are natural in the current climate and simply being conscious of how we are feeling without judgement will help to manage our energy field. When we identify with negative states we get pulled into lower timelines that become self-perpetuating.

Our body is highly intelligent and adaptable to change, but this recalibration can take some time. No matter what is going on outside of us, we always have the control. Patience is key.

It may feel like there is an urgency to get things done given the rapid acceleration of external change, but slowing down and trusting in divine timing will attune us with higher guidance so we don’t get pulled into chaotic frequencies and can more easily find our centre and align with our optimal flow. This way we can more easily discern between our organic personal frequency and artificial ones.

Some of these shifts are part of our ascension to higher consciousness but these frequencies need to be grounded in the body to be integrated, otherwise we will experience over stimulation and burn out.

Each phase of evolution requires synthesis through embodiment to keep us connected to this realm without prematurely bypassing. This is how we anchor and emit our frequency into the planetary grid to assist with the planetary ascension.
