SANCHÍS - 30/10/2008
was born in a fishing boat in a 6 km2 island in Alaska, I'm Yupik. Widow, I have a daughter and 6 grandchildren. I was the first person in Alaska who won the title of doctor of Traditional Medicine and as such work in the South Central Foundation, but I have not gone to school
His grandmother knew the way you were going to go ... I grew up with grandmothers wise, I walked with them and learned from them without question.
Why no questions? The best way to teach is simply being.
Yes, ma'am. All grandmothers knew I would be a great healer and a spiritual leader, but trust me most was my grandmother, it was she who gave me the thirteen stones thirteen eagle feathers, for "when the grandmother finally meet."
Do all you have visions? Yes, I started having them after four years and since then I have the power to heal and I exercise, but I assure you I do not do anything, just give me.
That's a lot. Nothing belongs to me, I have nothing, let everything go and not think about it. The downside is that nothing hurts me.
But he had cancer. diseases come from anger, rage and buried sustained becomes disease. I storing up wrath from my childhood. My father died a month before I was born and always longs. And I wanted have a beautiful nose, a profile like that of Elizabeth Taylor, and pretty dresses.
What's grandmother told? That if I wanted to see me a beautiful nose, I cleaned the inside. Bella is beautiful inside and out. I had to learn about myself, understand that there is only abundance and to live in peace is to forgive. The pain must let him go.
you said, it seems simple. The problem is that we forget what we essentially are. Dogged us in doing things instead of allowing them no. Always striving, wanting to please someone, wanting to be strong.
The other option I see no clear ... Afford to be, ie: to be ourselves, take our time to do what we do, be more flexible. Meet and share.
"The effort we put into being perfect is what makes us suffer so much." Yes, I think. And I think that sometimes people are clinging to their suffering.
What has helped her know herself? I got rid of my ego, no one can dance better or worse than me. All I see is beautiful, so I want everyone to see everything beautiful and learn to love themselves and share it with everyone else.
And how do you get there? In my village, since very little is taught to children what they think they must feel and what they feel they have to think about it.
What helped him overcome the death of five children? dream I have grown and are helping me. Sometimes I think if I lived here just cause difficulties. Are on the other side and protect me, and I thank them every day. I can not hold on to them, I was an instrument to bring into this world on the way to the next.
...
When I was little my mother used to say that when we go to the other side became stars and there are many windows on the universe that we are watching.
Do we choose the life we \u200b\u200blive? Yes We're here for a reason, so we do our best to our knowledge, enlarge our spirit, to be wise, because that is all we carry.
And how do you knew what his fate? "I'm a girl - told the Great Spirit. Tomorrow I will leave, but in the meantime, what is what is supposed to do? Show me the way."
Did showed?
No, the way is if you learn to just listen to yourself and treat everyone as you like you treat yourself. My grandmother taught me long ago you become a human being when you learn to accept, when you learn to flow. And you know what my mother said?
Something that impressed me, sure ... My mother told me: "Okay." "Okay, when well, and well when it is not good." So, but we always want to change everything and so we cling to what is wrong and not let it go.
right. If worse comes to you, you have to accept and learn from it. When something good comes, the treasure as if it happened again anymore. But life, like the seasons, a cycle is always the same and always changing.
His people was almost exterminated, if they had accepted instead of fighting to stay, you will not be here. After the Second World War, the U.S. government tried to destroy our culture by denying the right to fish and hunt, and built in Indian schools forbidding children to speak their mother tongue.
Big mistake. That happened, not fight, and now everyone wants to be like us, want to know, forgive them, how it works, we must let go of ego and greed to take it all, why do you want? .. .
