-Land as our Guide to Heal
- often, we depend on someone else to heal us, but what happens if we reconnect with Land as Healer?
-When we breathe in forest air, our white blood cells increase and our cortisol (stress) levels decrease. You are never alone when you are with the Land
-Brain & Gut connection
-think about following that "gut feeling," and how that can guide us. decolonize and Recolonize your Microbiome
-Canada Food guide
-this guide has harmed many Indg people. It was created by and for European people, with plants and animals common in those origin areas.
-many communities are not used to digesting wheat (gluten) or dairy. Their bodies have evolved to processes necessary proteins, sugars, calcium from other foods.
-Prophecy from Sahtu Dene Elder Be’sha Blondin
- the ground will melt, which will awaken sicknesses (like antrax), and the axis of the Earth has shifted (through the extraction of excess freshwater, and ice melt) which has been observed by shifting in star locations. This shows an acute understanding of Natural Law
-What Water are you made from?
-humans are 60% water, we need water to survive, we are the water we consume. What water are you made from? What lake, river, groundwater, glacier, leads to your tap? When you travel, you turn into water from that location, after 3 months, your cells change & you turn into that location's water. how do give back to the spirit of the water that keeps you alive.
