One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.

He said, “My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all.

One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.

The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.”

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: “Which wolf wins?”

The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”

Ethno-Environmental Protected Area: envira river

Fri May 30, 12:07 AM ET RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil - One of Brazil’s last uncontacted Indian tribes has been spotted in the far western Amazon jungle near the Peruvian border, the National Indian Foundation said Thursday.

The Indians were sighted in an Ethno-Environmental Protected Area along the Envira River in flights over remote Acre state, said the Brazilian government foundation, known as Funai.

Funai said it photographed “strong and healthy” warriors, six huts and a large planted area. But it was not known to which tribe they belonged, the group said.

“Four distinct isolated peoples exist in this region, whom we have accompanied for 20 years,” Funai expert Jose Carlos Meirelles Junior said in a statement.

The tribe sighted recently is one of the last not to be contacted by officials. Funai does not make contact with such tribes Indians and prevents invasions of their land to ensure their autonomy, the foundation said.

Survival International said the Indians are in danger from illegal logging in Peru, which is driving tribes over the border and could lead to conflict with the estimated 500 uncontacted Indians now living on the Brazilian side.

There are more than 100 uncontacted tribes worldwide, most of them in Brazil and Peru, the group said in a statement.

“These pictures are further evidence that uncontacted tribes really do exist,” Survival director Stephen Corry said.

“The world needs to wake up to this, and ensure that their territory is protected in accordance with international law. Otherwise, they will soon be made extinct.”

Energy hungry America teaches the world how to build ecological houses.

A dirt cheap and 100 percent ecological house that has all the comforts of an ordinary home, without being connected to the electricity grid, waterworks, sewer system or the natural gas network. It does exist, but in most countries, building one is not allowed.

What Is Spiritual Health? ayahuasca consciousness

February 3rd, 2008 velvetfont Posted in Body, Death, Emotions, Global Consciousness, Herbal Products, Integrative Medicine, Lifestyle, Mind, Spirit, Spiritual Afterlife, Spiritual Health, biodiversity, consciousness, culture, diet, earth, global awareness, healing, health, sustainability No Comments »

In today’s culture, the concept of Spirit has been scientifically removed from our belief system. Only through the study of other, much older cultures have we been reminded of what our ancestors knew to be the “truth”. Religion, cultural dis association from the natural world and modernization of societies has changed that belief system of “truth” to ritual of words with no meaning.

What our ancestors and these ancient cultures knew is that Spirit is real. This Spirit within each of us is capable of much more than we could ever imagine, and by encountering it through the use of Ayahuasca we are learning about our deeper selves. We can begin to expand the boundaries of our true potential, to gain the power to heal ourselves. An intimate connection is made with the Divine through this healing modality.

Many physical and emotional sicknesses are the result of a disharmony within ourselves. Something is wounded in within our soul, and it has manifested into a condition that shows up emotionally or as a physical ailement. By treating the body, the affliction can only be maintained, but not cured, like cutting a weed that grows back a short time later.

Consciously working with the Spirit, however, can allow an individual to discover the root of an illness and to pull up these roots and alleviate their own suffering. Spirit can manifest illness and it can manifest pure joy. The power lies in the belief of our intentions and our willingness to surrender to what we can never know, but can feel within our own beings.

Global Healing Vision co-host and co-founder Amy Greeson attended The Foundation for Shamanic Studies, Gathering of the Council this week in the San Francisco Bay area.

The Foundation for Shamanic Studies has built a reputation of consistency and excellence by providing effective, quality training in Core Shamanism to interested learners worldwide. Dr. Harner has been recognized as the pioneer and leader of the revival of shamanism since the early 60’s when he chose to immerse himself in tribal spiritual traditions rather than restrict his study to more traditional academic techniques.

Reflections on Healing

January 19th, 2008 Amy Greeson Posted in Global Consciousness, Integrative Medicine, Lifestyle, Mind, Spirit, Spiritual Health, consciousness, culture, global awareness, healing, health 1 Comment »

We are in the final stages of editing our Healing Seekers ( www.healingseekers.com) documentary which was filmed in Ecuador. I am thrilled, not only at seeing the finished product, but at the quality of the film. I am extremely proud of this team and so honored to be given these opportunities in my life. Last night, I was reflecting on the journey of this film, and I became keenly aware of how much I have grown by this experience. The actual experience of filming was amazing— the learning and intensity, the special bonds that were formed with so many wonderful people and healers– and my heightened awareness and consciousness of life itself. I have also further awakened to the unbelievable creativity of others— such as videographer, Tibi — producer, Grace Kanoy, and editor, Josh Jones. My heart and mind have opened immeasurably as I understand more and more about the many different levels and methods of healing in our world. I believe that when we learn to respect and utilize the talents, knowledge and wisdom of healers from many disciplines and from all over the world—then, and only then, will we will begin to see what optimal health is really all about.
