There are many points in human history where the independent strains of time, culture and light energy converge to play a symphony of enlightenment and creativity. Such are the stories of the Egyptians, Incas, Romans, Greeks, Chinese, indeed all of the world's cultures.

The power to heal is the ability and willingness to release, to let go, to let pass.
That which is kept static, in place and unchanging will result in illness.
The energy that we are, must move and change, whether it is in the form of emotions, thoughts, actions or memories.

We must monitor diligently the pain, anger and negative attitude that we consciously and unconsciously store in our thoughts, body and memory.
Unmoved these expressions of the self will diminish, if not destroy, the vitality of our energy, quality of life and soul.

Healing and health requires inner change of perspective and movement. The healer's mask when used in ritual invokes change in energy on the level of the mind, body and spirit.

Every moment that a child is born our ancestors cry out with unbridled joy and burst forth with tears of pride and passion.

They see within each child's birth the spirit of every woman and man that has ever walked upon the face of this earth.

Their exuberance is contagious to the living.

They give to each child their gifts of knowledge, love and wisdom. The child in turn now becomes all powerful and begins to share its world and destiny through the cultivation of its ancestral history and awareness. It now become all the things that we have ever been and have the potential to be.

All of this possibility is within each child at birth. A child who must give thanks to its elders and creators as it clams its rightful and prominent place within the history of man.

This is the legacy of our sacred ancestral birth.
