"To all these people we call "savages"

This earth and our ancestors

In every research, an essential point is to find the common link between all the elements.

If we are "One", which is one of the base principles of the energy, the pieces of our knowledge necesserally come together at a crossroad.

The energy can be quite a hermetic language once you start decoding it but the more you dig the clearer it becomes.

A few years ago I've been wanting to study the knowledge of Native American tribes. When I would hear of it, something resonated within me, and yet, I knew very little of it.

This is how I discovered that for the Navajos there existed no generic term to name a seer but instead he was referred as "the one who knows".

These "the one who knows" men are separated in 3 categories:

•         The men with a trembling hand

•         The ones who contemplate the stars (or the sun)

•         The ones who listen

The term that talked to me the most is the first one, the "man with a trembling hand".

As I work in energetic healing (magnetizer), this talks to me.

To summarize the art of the Navajo healer, the man with a trembling hand  proceeds in such a way:

He washes his hands and upper arms, sits next to the patient, sometimes spreads corn pollen on his own arm or the patient.

He then prononces a prayer to the intention a particular spirit and asks him for information on the illness and the remedy. This spirit is supposed to know everything and see everything.

It is this spirit who taught the Navajo people the technique of the trembling hand.

The prayer is followed by chants for a few minutes. As soon as the chants begin, the healer's hands begin to tremble. Thoughts invade him, and at one point, something essential is revealed to him about the patient's problem. At this very moment, the trembling will stop.

The origin of the illness can also be revealed when a trembling hand moves all over the patient's body and stops by itself at the sick part.

It is this last point that will talk to many, healers as well as martial art practioners.

For martial art practioners, it is the fact of knowing where to hit without thinking beforehand because the hand moves by itself towards the impact zone.

There would be many things to say about the Navajos and the link with martial arts, especially on the visualisation to have at the moment of practice.

It is also very astonishing to see the link that exists between Taoïsm and the Native American vision.

If we observe the founding Myth of the Hopis Tribe for example, it reveals a vision of the Universe similar to that of the Tibetans, the Mongolians and Taoïst Chinese.

But what is the link with Native Americans?

As I carried on my research on the Origins of the Aiki, I discovered a document of Daito Ryu of which there is an extract:

I had been told long ago that native american tribes mastered knowledges in the field of energy. But at that time I didn't have the knowledge and the elements to understand and be able to find the crossroad connecting the different knowledges.

But what is is this link?

It's simply the Earth.

In some martial practices (Tai chi, Qi Gong, ...) the fact of sending your energy in the ground causes a reaction. For the Sioux Lakota, the relation from man to earth is very important.

It would be my great pleasure to return to that subject because it is very long and to give away its details in a clear manner is no easy task.

But then, from the update on this link, the vision I had of Tenchijin 天地人 in Aunkai has evolved yet again in my mind.  

And the research continues
