This Book Wants to Travel!!!!

Nawa! Hello!

The plans for 2020 are to share and teach the Wisdom that I have carried for years, and to share the messages from Mother Earth to all of those who feel drawn to her calling of coming home. Home, to the heart, to the innermost feelings and connections that we have here on this earth.

When I travel and share and sing to groups, my focus and intent is to help release any blocks that one might be carrying with them still about thier past, their ancestry, thier work, or any feelings of confusion and chaos.

The earth is my mother, and she has very powerful medicine all around her, including the trees, the water, the air, plants, the animals, rocks and crystals, and everywhere you look, there is medicine waiting for you to recieve.

I enjoy working with groups and communities who want to help people that are ready to grow and find balance in thier lives. This book is a great tool for any beginner, seeker, and persons who want to learn about natural medicine and incorporating peace and love in thier lives, beginning with the self.

I have traveled to several states and a few countries, and I enjoy meeting all walks of life. I started to help people as a young child, and attended ceremonies with my mother since I was around the age of 5 years old. I did a Coming of Age Ceremony in 1995 which really motivated me to help even more people. I started learning Reiki when I was 12 and became a Reiki Master when I was 16. Since I am Indian, enrolled member of the Pawnee nation, I encorporate a lot of the natural healing practices with rattles, drums, chants, and calling on guides, helpers, angels and all of those from the Highest Light. I have attended many ancient ceremonies and learned songs from several tribes, but have found that what works is the intention, and love inside of your spirit that releases when you chant tones. All songs and words are very sacred. With over a million languages, there is no difference with love.

Please feel free to contact me about speaking in your community, retreat center, or sacred space. I also love to attend ceremonies, fires, sweat lodges, drum circles, walks for peace, speak to children and schools, fire-walks, vision-quests, earth ceremonies, tobacco ceremonies, water ceremonies, and love to share about healing the mind, body and spirit.

Plan-Goal: I am currently doing orders for my book, "Time Is Running Out" published in May-June 2012. I plan to travel with my book for public speaking, book-signings, classes, group healings/clearings, from 2020 to 2030. Please contact me ahead of time if you are interested in booking an event.


Kadeeshday!!!

Chapter One

₪ Messages from Mother Earth


“Here is my story from my heart to your heart, from my spirit to your spirit”.
~ Crystal Gingras ~

We co-exist as one on this beautiful, planet earth, I know as our Mother Earth. She is plentiful, beautiful, and absolutely gentle and compassionate. In spite of that, we do not see her or treat her with the respect that she absolutely, undesirably deserves and needs now more than ever. The earth is pleading for us to pay attention to her, like a mother demanding her presence to be known to nurture her innocent children. She is patiently asking us in the upmost respect to listen and she will guide us on our journey here that we know as earth. I feel that it is imperitive that we start to listen to her now and begin seeking all that she has to share.

..............
.......Be creative and have fun creating your desires as there is no limit to your imagination. Take the time to honor and respect yourself by believing that you deserve everything that you want to accomplish in this lifetime.
Your respect and compassion for others is the respect and compassion that you have for yourself and for this world. We all live on this Earth together and no matter how far apart you live from each other what you do will have an effect on everyone here. Just put your ear down to the Earth and ask from your heart, I will tell you. Travel to the mountains and listen to your relatives, the rock people (stone people), they are here to guide you. Ask the stone people what gifts you have if you do not know and they will assist you on your path. More than likely it’s something that you dream of doing or love to do but are yet to take the time to figure it out or to afraid to do it. Do not fear time and do not fear power for both are very, very precious like each and every minute that we have here on earth.
Do you not understand that the oceans can cleanse the whole entire Earth in less than a day, that fires can cleanse the Earth in less than a day, that winds can cleanse the earth in less than a day? The elements are sacred, the earth, the water, the fire, the air. Do you take time to thank your water, your fire that heats your home, the air that you breathe in with every single breath you take, shallow or deep? Each one is sacred and each one has the power to cleanse whatever you need it to, whether it’s mental, physical or spiritual. It’s your heart that is all that needs to be heard. Your words are powerful, but your heart is how we are all connected. It is your heart that beats with mine each time, each and every living being on this planet, we all beat together as one. And as long as you allow yourselves to survive on this planet we will always beat as one. There is no one here alive that is more important, or higher or above anyone else. There is no perfect one that is going to save you or guide you as we are all guided as one. Each one of you has come to this Earth to partake in cleansing and healing and to experience these wonderful emotions such as sadness and happiness, heartache and love.
There is not anything or anyone more powerful than another, you are equal and sometimes that is very hard to believe as each person wants to feel special. Could you imagine having over six-billion children, or even one-hundred children? Now, imagine what that would be like to make each and every one of them feel special when they will not even look at you or acknowledge you. How can I tell you just how special you are to me when you won’t even take five minutes to walk barefoot or to stop and listen (by placing your ear to the earth) to what I have to say? Sounds silly listening to the earth, right? Sounds funny listening to your body, right? Sounds funny to listen to a tree, right? When is the last time you heard your body talk or a plant talk? If you do, what do they say? Is your body tired and lonely because you are running so fast you can’t stop and listen? Are the plants and trees lonely in your surroundings? What about your water? Is it nurtured and cared for before you drink it? What are you sharing with your food and water, because it is always sharing with you? The water and the plants (medicine) and the trees (medicine) love you.
For some of you, reading these messages may seem bizarre or silly to consider, for others this may seem like common sense. Sometimes when something does not make sense in the moment, you will have an experience then it all comes together. If you are unfamiliar with speaking to your body, or to trees, then I can honestly say that it does not hurt to try this at home. Later on, I will focus more specifically on the trees as helpers and what you can do in your own time to connect with them. Humans have survived with the help of the tree nation for numerous years and I am surprised at the lack of knowledge that is shared with children and people in schools. All of Mother Nature and the elements are a vital part of our existence, yet many of us do not learn about this powerful knowledge until we are adults.
Mother Nature includes all of the mountains, terrains, volcanoes, trees, plant life, ocean life and more. The elements, earth, water, fire, and air are all important and vital to our everyday living, yet we have forgotten how important it is to learn and honor them. The earth helps to ground us and bring us abundance in the material realm. The water helps to keep us flowing freely with all of the rapid changes that surround us at all times. The fire helps to cleanse, renew, vitalize and bring forth energy that is constantly moving as everything is made of energy. The air is what we breathe and connect with to one another in the material world on earth. All of these elements are also nations just as all of the people of this land were nations. Everything that has energy is alive and is therefore deserving of respect, love and compassion.
Here is a great suggestion that was shared this year in California for ceremony: each time you take a bath and shower it would be respectful to say thank you, especially if you are asking for cleansing at that time or consciously detoxing in hot baths or springs. The water is here to assist you and sustain you in various ways. Think about how much of your physical body is made out of water and all of the food and drinks that we consume.
The same percentage of water I have in my veins is the same percentage of water that you have in your veins (now around 70%). Scientists have figured out every fact that people need to prove that we are all similar life forms and energies. For example, scientists know that trees are from the same DNA building blocks as humans. And that plants and trees give us medicine, natural medicine and that plants will grow around you when you are sick, the plants that you need to survive. The plant people will grow around your home or land to be there for you as food and medicine. The trees, plants and roots are there for you whenever you need them. Sometimes, the trees and plants get poisoned and ripped out and burned and they cry but they do not hold grudges. They will all come back again and again as long as there is life here to help. The tree people and plant people are your medicine when you are sick or sad, when you are wounded or dying. The tree people and plant kingdom need respect and love just like any two-legged or four-legged or ones that swim, crawl and fly.
Each and every living being here on this planet needs to feel the love and respect from you. If you are already respecting your elders by living with them and feeding them and keeping them company than you might want to broaden your mind some more and start respecting your elder trees. The older they are the stronger medicine they carry. It’s like trusting a one hundred year old elder healer as opposed to trusting a five year old healer. I cannot express enough about the thousands and millions of plants, vines and trees that are all over the world for you for everything you need. There are so many laws and protections and secrets, yes!

______________________________________________________________________________Are you afraid of speaking your truth when someone hurts your feelings or upsets you? Are you afraid that you will not get promoted at work? Are you afraid that someone important to you is going to hurt you or leave you? Are you afraid that you will not have enough money to do all the things you want to do? List all of your fears that come up when you ask yourself what you have been afraid of that is currently holding you back, or keeping you from moving forward.
Are each of these fears valid? If not, explain. _________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________Maybe one of your fears is that someone you love is not going to love you back. Ask yourself if there were a wall around you, what would that wall look like? Is the wall tall or thick? Is the wall close to you? Is the wall surrounding you completely? Maybe it’s time to dissolve the wall, so that you can allow yourself to grow and accept others in your space.
