“As we walk, all of our ancestors walk with us. As we dance, all of our ancestors dance the Sacred Dance. Each step that we place is an important one. All of our relatives are walking with us, speaking through us like the many colors of the rainbow. Listen, and you will hear their steps, their voices, their colors. Listen, and you will hear your spirit calling upon all our relations, and you will feel their energy…”
“May we always keep our feet on Mother Earth, our eyes and minds above the treetops, our spirit with the Great Universal Spirit.”
“And may we always walk with…a sense of humility, kindness, wonder, and respect for all living things as we follow the sacred trail of those who have come before us and those yet to come.”
~Michael T. Garrett from Walking on the Wind: Cherokee Teachings for Harmony and Balance

Absolutely, I have felt the support through difficult times in my life by the spirit and experiences of my female ancestors. We are all connected to the past and ultimately to the future.

Interestingly, in 2009, just previous to a big surgery, I had an energy healer help me. She couldn’t believe “all” the energy spirits that were surrounding me. I instantly said to her “these are my women ancestors who have joined me for my surgery”. Prior to her session I had just finished working on my genealogy for both sides of my family and I was absolutely positive that these women spirits were here to guide and comfort me. It made me cry tears of joy!!
It was truly awesome!
