How To Prepare For A Vision. Native American (Navajo) Teachings

A lot of Indigenous people have something they refer to as a vision quest.

In Navajo Traditional Ways, there is a way to prepare oneself for a vision or seek some higher knowledge with their deity.

This usually comes as a promise or agreement. Our Navajo ancestors made promises or agreements with the Holy People. An example of this is the agreement to keep the language and the promise to speak the language to one another.

In the traditional way, this can be done on the individual level as well.

In this video, Navajo historian Wally Brown shares a little bit of what that looks like.

Enjoy the video.

My grandfather grew up in Yuma and then moved to New Mexico after surviving WW2. He fought with the Navajo code talkers and always had great respect for the Navajo culture. I never got to meet him. After a very deep low point in my life, I began running miles every day. One day I couldn't help but feel that he, specifically, was running right beside me as an ancestor. This was at a wildlife preserve in an area in the Pacific Northwest that once belonged to a tribe called Nisqually.

I’m not Navajo but I am Native and I am very thankful for this channel, because like many families, we have lost connection with our culture

I am not American and has never met these American Indians or indigenious people. But this man's teachings is sacred. So meaningful and civilised. If only we listen. I feel connected to his explanations as if my grandfather is explaining to me. Thank you sir. With great joy i feel. 😊

They should teach this in schools. We need this kind of culture in our society.

"Remember that all is One... and what you do to your neighbor, your friend or your foe, is a reflection of what you think of your Creator.

Grace is the wonderful spirit that imbues every fiber of our being when we practice the fruits of the spirit: kindness, patience, understanding, forgiveness, love, gentleness, fellowship and endurance.

Make the world a better place because you have lived in it."

You are very wise. I appreciate your teachings.

Did it with mushrooms and had to go through it alone. Took me from 17 to 21. I'm not done. You never are😊. Love is the key to let go of all the pain inside. You are an infinite being. A soul. We're all family. Communication is key. Talk about anything and everything and just be genuine and honest with yourself and others.

I hope native Americans could revive their own ancestors religion, culture and tradition.
These are the identity these are the strength ✊

My farther showed up at my mother's house after he crossed over. He came to tell me he was sorry and I forgave him. And when I'm having really hard times in my life, I have visions of the wolves protecting me. Standing by my side growling at something. Or they make a circle around me and I'm laying down in the middle.

I am white but have had past lives as a native person & so has my grandma.. I’m 16, but all of my life I have always been drawn to the native people and culture. It is so beautiful and so spiritually diverse & fascinating. I absolutely love his teachings, so so beautiful & educational

[jujemcgregor]

All that has been said here rings like a clear truth in my heart. So grateful for all the indigenous Elders around the globe, those who are still connected to Spirit, Nature and all that is ... we have much to learn from Them ❤☀️🌙⭐️

This video brought me to tears. I have suffered in despair through strife for so long that I have become ignorant to joy. I didn't realize how much shame I am infected with until realizing I need to make myself presentable to the holy people. I once had so much pride that i was invincible... now I know i could never look my creator in the face. I guess this is what it is to be humbled and why pride is so sinful. I will trade my value of "Take pride in your work" and exchange it with "Be satisfied with a job well done" This is the message that I'm recieving, and it already makes me feel less ill toward others that struggle too. I am looking forward to a good cleansing. 🙏
