Mamela!!

Before Europeans came to Southern Africa young people would be grouped into regiments of those in their age group for example 16-20. This group whether female or male would go to the traditional initiation school together. The boys (separated from girls) would be guided and taught by older and well-respected men of their community who were the keepers of culture. Once this initiation was complete the boy became a man. The same process with the girls except of course they were initiated by well-respected older women.

This initiation would prepare the young person for all facets of their life. It would also teach them the morals of the community and what it means to be a respected and useful member of the clan. Prostitution was non-existent in our lands. Broken homes and single-mother families were non-existent. Homelessness was non-existent. Drug and alcohol abuse were non-existent. And hunger was non-existent except for perhaps in times of serious drought.

The arrival of Europeans essentially destroyed our high-moral, humanity-centered culture. They brought all the poisons and immoral behaviour they were living in Europe and forced them on us. They turned our God into a Devil and forced us to worship foreign Sun gods and Moon gods created by men who lusted after power and sought to sell us a new god in their image.

Today, we are a lost people. We do not know who we are or where we are from. We imitate the European in everything they do. We love his god. We love his money, his alcohol, his drugs and his p**n. Our women have been taught to hate us and we have been taught to hate them. We also hate ourselves because we were taught that our skin colour, our hair, our languages, our culture etc. are inferior and we believed it.

Somehow we need to detox ourselves from the evils that came from Europe to destroy us. 👑

Mental Health:

Thokozani | Ndauwe| Amen|

The indegen addresses the mental wellness of an individual, on the premise that - They understand their Cosmology.

The Inability to hold the amount of data - coming from outside of us - may get us to a tipping point. All That - As It May!!

The disorganization of one's, frame of mind, may lead to symptoms of disfunction. Even to oneself.

The Cosmology is - in a sense - the organization system of ideologies & concepts of the nature of Reality.

Where others are Masters of their Destiny whereas others, are Slave to the Same Destiny.

The reasoning that emanates from your organic thought process, from the true nature of things - Anchors you in reality & not the illusion of reality. Where one is working with Facts & not biased opinions.

One's Cosmogony & Cosmology gives - a perspective view of how to approach Life. It offers guiding Principles - to things like - Thought Processing. Which Gives a particular grasp - to Reality. On an Objective Realm.

Mental Health Is Mind-State: In What State of Mind - Do you find yourself - when confronted by a situation/ circumstance/ condition?

The Ethos of Preventative medicine is that : Early detection is King.

Indegenous medicines offers , avenues to uncover the deep layers of our being. Where we may be trapped in our own WEB of Thoughts.

These take on a therapeutic process. Where scheduled session are made to facilitate - this inner dive - into oneself.

In closing we want to say this : Mental Health Is A Real Thing. The wellness of your Inner thought nature is directly proportional to the quality of life - you lead. The Mind is a tricky character- it may even dribble its host. Therefore we may All need assistance on the journey back.

To be continued.....

We send our greetings.

Ezika Moya/ Tsa Moya:

In the fundamental overstanding that we are Spirit first then Flesh. We extend this understanding to the Metaphysical Origination of any physical ailments/disease/sickness etc.

The understanding of the apprentice - is that of being able to diagnose these 'Metaphysical/Spiritual' aspects of the individual.

That... by looking at certain physical/emotional/psychological ailments one can decipher the Spiritual influence - causing discomfort. Physical Diseases/conditions are a Manifestation (imiphumela) and not the Source (umsukela)- manier times..

In the relationship of Body & Mind (Spirit) disease can take hold of individuals from the energetic imprints on their Spirit body (astral/auraic field). The imprints are held in the body as different manifestations such as disease - for instance.

With this backdrop: It must come to your awareness that the body (can) holds or hide these discomforts within itself. Meaning these may need different methods to affect healing (balance).

Izinto ezifana nezifutho/some form of exercise, allows for working within these energy systems within the body. Working the physical to access the Metaphysical space.

Thus makes these, part of the working field, of an apprentice.

Thokozani.

: Purging As Ritual:

Purging/UkuPhalaza/Gabha/HoPhalatsa.

An exercise performed mainly - for our people - ukukhipha inyongo...lol. To cleanse the gall bladder from exersive Bile. To work on the upper respiratory system & minimize the Acidic levels that create mucus. This mucus (uxakaxa/leleta) traps bacteria,viruses etc. That lead to many physical ailments manifesting as different diseases. This Mucus is produced naturally in the body as it Also regulates other biological processes. An excessive amount of this - is not ideal. The main ingredient in this over production is due to Diet. This exersive mucus in the head (brain), Chest (respiratory system), Gut (especially) - leads to many complications affecting the individual. This mucus glogs the systems we mentioned above. The over production of Bile (inyongo) in the blood stream leads to lethargy & many other effects that will hinder Wellbeing-ness.

We can expand, but that's not the purpose of this post.

The purpose is to bring an understanding of Purging being a Ritual in itself. (We are aware that to others this practice IS difficult/strange & possibly unnecessary. However we are speaking to an aspect of this practice from its ritualistic approach.

Where....!!

The practioner will, through level skill, mix a concoction of herbs not to only tackle the biological aspect but also the metaphysical space. The principle being - As Above,So Below. As Within, So Without. Therefore the direct relationship between the physical & spiritual is Mirrored. Meaning, what you accomplish is also being accomplished metaphysically. The herbs are a communication network that allows the linking of the spiritual & physical space.

We have seen others come back from certain psychological/emotional blocks through this understanding of the practice.

In practice the apprentice will tell you to - speak during the Purging. Which forms a kind of ''prayer' or Self talk. The aid of Medicinal plants helps to bring relief of all sorts. In that - the medicines are a form of natural technology that not only works the biology but the spiritual. Therefore with an understanding of the different herbs from both aspects - physical & spiritual aids the Holistic healing of individuals.

So we bring to your attention - that not only should this practice be for ukukhipa inyongo kuphela, but as a Ritual for inner healing (Psycho-Emotional, Psycho-Spiritual, Emo-Spirual Realms).

Ritual by definition are exercises in which you enter into them conciously with clarity, understanding, purpose etc. Therefore requiring a degree of Self Awareness in order to activate your Complete Self. Remember we are not only the physical self but also spiritual self (which comprises of other dimensions of Self).

The Ritual is the part that speaks to the spiritual aspects of being.

BuNgoma/ BoPorofita/ UbuNyanga as Professions.

A profession is an occupation that one has received education &/or Training for. I like the definition that says: It's also a "Calling" of some sort.

Speaking to the realm of those who would have gone through some form of Initiation School. I'm not in the scope of those who would self initiate@ this point. (Topic of another day).

Initiation School must be seen as an Institution - where training is/was provided. Training is a level of education. The initiate having gone to 'School', received an education should at the end envision a Qualification to prove educational status. So the different schools of initiation ( Mnguni/Mndau/Seporofita etc.) are aspects of training within the profession/calling.

Where we want to draw your attention to now.

Is, to you ngwana moya/ngwanabadimo, DO YOU RECOGNISE - YOUR GIFT - WITHIN THE PROFESSION?

Ngoba, if We Do Not See & understand that we are Professionals. We will Not Understand the Value in our Calling. Professionals are people who have studied & are studying towards a betterment in their 'Chosen' field of study.

Having Learnt & continously Learning, nurture the Value of the Profession.

It's our duty then, not only to see & understand ourselves as professionals, but to Also ACT & BE Professional. Professional is Being and Acting within the Value System of Your Calling/Profession.

One more thing before we leave, understand the skill sets gained through your training. These will help in understanding your professional nature.

As Therapist:

The Mngoma is trained In the field of Psychotherapy. Meaning, the aspects of healing the mind. The work of mngoma transcends the physical arena of things. As the Mind forms part of the spectrum of the unseen things (spiritual). These are dimensions of spiritual healing - the mind or psychology of being (umuntu).

These are aspects seen when the Healer gives clarity to the client about the diagnosis (using whatever type Divination system). This is a session where clarity points are raised, Questions asked. The logic & implementation of the diagnosis Is then broken down.

Remembering that the session is about the client and not the Healer. The therapy part is there to facilitate the bridge between spirit revelation & practic application of that, which was revealed. To balance the thought process of an individual. In other words the client should not leave a Healers clinic (indumba) confused & uncertain of the plan of action/purpose.

We teach on the aspects of the three-fold man.
* Mmele (body/biology)
* Pelo (Soul/mind/emotion).
* Moya (spirit/thongo/dlozi).

The unconfused client/patient is the one who would find Synchronicity between these aspects of themselves. The Healer who would have completed their work is the one who would have attended to the above aspects of being.

In another way, in understanding that the Healer takes things from the timesless (Quantum field) into time (materiality). If one cannot sync the data with real time - the session will prove fruitless.

So as Therapist it's our duty to align such matters for our clients. In helping them see the whole & parts that make up the Picture. The therapy assists the expansion of the continued path to Holistic healing.

Siyabuya.

Under the hat of Psycho-Spiritual Therapy:

This is a field in which one needs to tread carefully. As the matters of this realm are sensitive in nature. Why?

Well, one thing, the well working of this system insures a fulfilling life. The vice versa is True, aswell..

It's a branch of Holistic medicine which looks at the interplay of one's psychological space (mental) & Spiritual Space. The attainment of this equanimity is the goal of this form of healing.

Our mind state (psychological field) determines many things but one important being behaviour. Behaviours exhibits our mental state. As the mental space shapes & interprets reality for us or with us.

Psycho-Spiritual therapy says: The nature of your mental state is directly affected by the nature of your spirit. As a direct relationship.

Its about finding the symbiosis between your Spiritual & Psycholohical arena. Some mental issues (before we get to extreme cases) are due to certain Spiritual imbalances.

Which the indegenous Healer recognises - from a diagnostic perspective - that such imbalances may affect certain behavioral patterns, in individuals. Due to a miscommunication between these spheres of being.

They understand that the Spirit is - if not more - effective as the Mind & body. Therefore a 'Real' thing in itself. The Mind is empowered by the Spirit.
