Narration (healing.mp3, 1.2 Mb)

Healing the soul. Healing the mind. Healing the body. In our native cultures, these three levels are inseparable. Physical, social or mental problems, sickness is caused by breaking off with our basic needs. Our ancestors have taught us the importance of considering our dreams in order to maintain harmony between these three levels and to connect to the universe.

Listening to our visions enables our soul to get what it requires. This is taught in native traditional healing methods. sharing circles, ceremonies in sweating tent, morning sun rituals, solitary retreats in the forest, and the knowledge of medicinal herbs.

Healers are essential. Their influence in the community is essential. They are the link between the invisible and the material world. Native medicine relies on the experience and observations transmitted from generation and generation. Our ancestral knowledge might have declined. The few people who had this knowledge were reserved, cautious and secret. We discover little by little these information. Now, traditional medicine is mixed with science. The surgeon works along with the shaman. But our ancestral knowledge seems to decline. We rediscover gradually the benefits of nature on the health of our body and our mind. Let's preserve this medicinal knowledge from elders and let's develop it before it disappears.
