In this book she presents her own Native heritage and her quest of discovering practices and customs, rituals and wisdom within many ancient tribes and cultures around the globe.
From healing practices of Hawai'an kahunas to life in a Tibetan monastery, from being adopted by the Aborigines, spending time with the Maoris, the African Zulu healer and 'seer' Credo Mutwa, from meeting healers in Vietnam and Thailand, the Mayan Yukatan and Lapland - Denise Linn's research and knowledge of indigenous cultures and history is vast.
Together with her own Native roots and that of other Native American tribes and traditions Denise found differences and common elements amongst all these ancient teachings. 'Kindling the Native Spirit' is the result of a majestic project which must have taken decades of dedication.
I have often wondered about my own interest and longing of ancient traditions and rituals. Now I understand that 'Being Native isn't what's in your blood; it's what's in your soul.' (headline of one of the chapters of the above book). This has brought it home.
A few examples of chapters in the book are 'Hearing Messages from Beyond' and 'Communing With Spirit': Animals, plants, minerals and beyond'; the significance of drums, rattles, feathers, spirit sticks, vision quests, tribal dance, astral travel, shape-shifting - to name just a few..
What I love in particular are the activities and exercises that Denise offers in each chapter. Practises for us today to re-connect to our own ancient native roots and psyche.
She points out how our fast-living, high-tech world has distanced us from the soul and order of nature, and of our heritage as living beings on this planet. This book brought me back to a more soul-and spiritually fulfilling way in my daily life. In one of my favourite chapters she writes about 'Becoming an Earthkeeper', a call to awareness of the 'effects of our actions on the generations ahead'.
May we all become earth keepers.
I love Denise's style in all her books and teachings. Starkly honest with 'simplicity' at it's very best. Everything is do-able, grounded, filled with spirit, heart, and wisdom.
This book is for everyone who feels called to re-connect and integrate deeper meaning into their life today - which can ultimately have a valuable and important effect on the survival of our future generations and the earth.
Huge thanks to Denise Linn! Heya Heyoo!!
I am deeply grateful for her teachings and sharing her heritage.
