Para quienes creen en la transformación, comparto este escrito de mi querida y admirada mentora.
Dear Brave Souls: Las Almas Valientes:
HYMN FOR PREPARATION of Soul, Child Spirit, Body, Mind, Heart to enact what you have long planned: the planting of the seeds for the banishment of Snake Bite:
Bitterness-- which not only can, but will steal the Holy life force from a person, if not mediated and wounds given right medicines of Love, Light, instead of distrust of self, others, and Creator's gifts to us: The gifts of Birthright.
Soon we continue our trek across Snow Wind Mountain in our 40 Nights promesas.
To commence again together, you and I, all of us... I've chosen the night of January 5th Noche: Los tres reyes -- the night of the three kings who came bearing gifts to the new Child of Light born in a old wooden shed, surrounded by muddy angels and even muddier animals....
all earthy and divine, in other words. You also, New life. That way. Humble, meaning basic essence. Attended by the most basic intuitive, instinctual and divine. You too.
The night of Los Tres Reyes, will be just the right time for us to place and plant our well considered and carefully chosen seeds for New Life-- as you see it, as you dream it and as it has dreamt you, as you see fit.
___________________
I love you and am excited by thinking of how you will, I know, go put your elements together, dirt, seeds, review your grande x-rays,
make any last minute adjustments to your seed intentions, review your prayers that brought you this far, remember your new name should you so choose to take one or more;
review your ancianos, your angelitos, your cloud Beings, your Beings covered with feathers, your santitos, your allies. Your water source.
Review your knowledge you have now that you did not have before. Your gratefulness in every direction, your understanding of Greater, your consistent banishing duendes [dont flag now] "There is no part of you in me!",
Review your sheddings, removals and forgivenesses and settlings and apologies, re-blessings, and all your take backs that help you return to True Self and Birthright.
Do this overview now for the next five or so days and nights.
____________________
Mis amors, below here is the prayer I want to offer to you, to commence the active journey again; you have had much /enough time to rest and recuperate, integrate and practice being holy-thoughtful in all worlds.
But/and, we go forward again... continuing to take back Birthright: the full apothecary and arsenal of all the gifts, earthy and uncanny that you were born with... you, The Sons and The Daughter of Light and of Love-- without whom, and I do not say this lightly, this earth would utterly perish.
Just this notation, I wont lie to you: You are needed, for you are sincere and hardworking, and have a good sense of what is ego and what is true self. You see clearly, that some look for or aspire to be great glitter leaders who have seemingly limitless power and fame.
You see that some look for or aspire to be one who rules by harsh hand or clever cons. You see some also mistake as leaders those who are in fact monsters who pretend to drag about in purloined angel wings.
Thus, we see some of our world yet lies in darkness, not only because some are enchanted by evil that lures while dressed in rousing words and images.
But that we are taught to cringe before soul crimes instead of moving with others to weaken/ banish such scourges.
You are aware through the faithfulness of the insights given to you by your conferring with your angels, ancestors, allies and more, that some, enjoin unconsciousness because it speaks some portion of their own prejudices.
And most of all you have clear sight now that
some souls, far too many suffering souls believe others who say they have little or no worth because of x, y, or z. There are many ways to cancel others.
But you are the 'invite closer people' without an ax to grind. You are 'the including people' without litmus tests. You are seeking like-kind souls who know the past, do their holy best in the present, and are building a best future for those who are not even yet born.
And as much so, even more so, much of the world still lies in darkness because it is not realized that the true leaders are ordinary, good hearted, sweetly striving to be holy people... like you dear souls. You are the wheels, the engines, the fuel.
Like Agni, the Hindu God Vasavada decades' long teacher taught me : you are the fire , the flame, the warmth fanned outward, the wood that burns.
And I love you so for being all these. SO worthy of walking with and protecting and loving. You.
In those lights, I offer now for you to return to True Self with a cuentito and also with a hymn for return to True Self.
Here is the cuento Dear Souls:
********************
Understand this: you are like this: You have been like every part of this cuento. Now though there are sometimes some backslides, you are fastening yourself to your role as Dragonfly.
Sweet Young Dragonfly who saved the world, is a story told to me as a young woman of 19, a thousand years ago, by a Hopi elder after a long Snake Dance on the mesa...
His name Honie, [one of several names: certain peoples in the southwest can have dozens of names throughout their lifetimes] said Dragonfly was a little thin winged thing.
And I tell you the story here, as not a story, but as it was meant, as a blessing preceding ceremony. This with my lyric added, is the doorway then, a blessing upon you as you launch out again to take back the Gifts of Espirito Santo you were born with...
******************
Dragonfly was ancient but had the strength of the young who were not jaded. Clear eyes that truly saw past present and future. Clear ears that heard the true hearts, good and not good, of each being.
As the world was being flooded for the many-eth time, and the people, the land, the waters , the creatures, the everything was drowning and many cried out 'Doom is here, no one can be saved! We must just give up and die!'
But Dragonfly picked up a long rope made of yucca-root fiber and flew up to the top of the sky where there was a hole, an opening that led to a new world, to new life
With such strain, Dragonfly spread all wings across the sky hole/opening. It was hard. And Dragonfly held on hard to the edges.
Dragonfly however was determined, for the sufferings of the people, the land, the waters , the creatures, the everything, was all noted so clearly, it deeply pained Dragonfly.
Dragonfly dropped the rope down, so the people and creatures could climb upward, bringing with them waters, earth, seeds. The people were heavy, but Dragonfly held on, not wanting to spill even one precious soul, nor one precious resource....
And so Dragonfly remained rooted across the sky hole leading to New Life, until every soul who could also see and hear, could climb out of the destructive flood, and rise clean and new again, as they were born, as they were meant to be.
***************
I know you understand.
Look at each being in the flood and see yourself as you were knocked into living face down by the overculture. See Dragonfly. How to live truly free. In pure Love and Light.
No demands that others behave this way or that. No trying to get others to pay the price dictated by ego. No floundering about giving in or up. No wearing a false robe. Dragonfly, without artifice. Going to save self and others with one's own precious and unique gifts. You. Very very you.
Give prayerful contemplation to these matters.

[Stay with us now for these further instructions]
Here now is the hymn/ song I would like you to say aloud to open again the door to Snow Wind Mountain. There are Diné words which you may not know how to pronounce. Try. In holiness, and respectful attitude, Creator understands sacred effort.
This is my every year New Year's song/hymn/chant. I repeat it throughout the year, to remind, to bring myself back to original self, true self, if /when I forget, when I am so burdened, or frightened or flying too far for my health.
You also dear soul. Repité as needed.
“Hozho” in Dine’ (roughly translated) is a state of balance in beauty. Or can mean the force of Beauty in us and all around us. This song is traditional prayer for long and long.
Here now when you are ready, gather and divest yourself:
Touch water before and after.
I place this blessing on your and yours: May the beautiful heartfelt words which are words of gratitude and Return, be a blessing on you
With loving prayers for your best intentions, your best health,
No lack of love,
dr.e

CODA
Dear Souls:
This chant comes in several forms, depending on the circumstances, for the person to be returned to wholeness. It is from our Diné/ Navajo tribal souls. The Blessing Way is a full ceremony --meaning in part, this blessing, sing and cleansing comes in a several days' long ceremony esp after a war-torn warrior has -even though wavering around from shocks and disheartenments--begun to find the path toward home again.
Long ago in the 1960s was my first Blessing Way, as the war-torn of our generation came home from Viet Nam, and many many needed tending to. Our families have always drawn war veterans from all races into our helps and healings. The healers saw the need, not the race or heritage. They saw the weariness of the spirit. And helped.
You may have heard part of the chant somewhere. Above, it is in its entirety, as I know it. If you pray it aloud, your heart will hear what is important for your Soul.
This song and the people who created it, are to be respected, meaning to see and remember and say all origins to it-- must ever be noted fully, and it not be taken into any mundane or cut-away form its origins use. It is for serious healing ceremony. You have been involved in a months' long ceremony of Return to Birthright.
I send love.
