Decreased stress Tracy Latz, a medical doctor and in- tegrative psychiatrist in Mooresville,


North Carolina, has found, “Patients with anxiety issues, including post-traumatic stress disorder, generalized anxiety disor- der, panic disorder and depression, oſten benefit from grounding.”


Improved vagus nerve function


Te vagus nerve connects with and regulates key organs, including the lungs, heart and intestines. In one study, doctors at the Penn State Children’s Hospital, in Hershey, Pennsylvania, grounded hospi- talized premature infants and document- ed improved vagal function that could potentially boost resilience and reduce complications. “Tese babies have a lot of health challenges,” observes Dr. Charles Palmer, former chief of the center’s divi- sion of newborn medicine. “It seems that they are more relaxed when grounded.” More research is needed.


Within a few months of grounding


both day and night, Monteith’s disease symptoms receded dramatically. Her bal- ance and stability improved when standing and walking. She sleeps more deeply and has more energy. An eye issue for which there is no drug subsided. She says her health continues to improve and she looks forward to living each day. Troy Baker, a recovery consul-


tant for special populations and chief program officer of the nonprofit Adapt Functional Movement Center, in Carls- bad, California, who has been overseeing Monteith’s exercise training schedule, has observed a reduction in the effects of multiple sclerosis since she started grounding. “Her body is more fluid, not as stiff. She moves much better, with increased energy and stamina.”

INDIGENOUS WISDOM Elders Urge Us to Reimagine Life


by Anita Sanchez F


irst, 27 indigenous elders from 23 North American tribes, two African tribes, a Tibetan Buddhist and a Sami


from Finland gathered at Turtle Mountain, in Dunseith, North Dakota, in 1994. Recently, 13 elders from 10 tribes from Russia, Columbia, South Africa and the U.S. gathered in Kauai, Hawaii. Other such gatherings, too, are participating in a shared prophecy supporting world salvation. Tey offer humanity four sacred giſts


of wisdom rooted in their life experiences. Tis is our invitation to receive them.


Power to Forgive


the Unforgivable Forgiveness is releasing ourselves from the prison of pain, hurt or mistreatment. It takes courage and self-love to do this. Te reward of this act is freedom to use our energy to create what is life-giving to our self and the lives of those we touch.


Power of Unity Tis is a time for us all to become and remain united and steadfast, repairing the world from the misuse of power and greed. When we choose to stand in the circle of unity, there is strength. Each of us has an important part to play in the circle of life to sustain precious relationships among people, Earth and spirit for ourselves, our children and future generations.


Power of Healing Indigenous elders tailor their healing practices to the whole human being, using good medicine, defined as anything or anyone that brings into positive align- ment the spiritual, mental, emotional and physical levels. Healing can take many forms, based on tradition, the healer, patient and nature, yet four basic elements or practices are consistent: lis- tening, supportive relationships, uncon- ditional love and committing to creative, positive action.


Power of Hope Hope springs from the choice to tap into an infinite energy source. It may not be understood by modern science, but indigenous wisdom keepers behold an inner certainty of something bigger than us all. When we open ourselves to hope, it is possible to release the pressure and desire to try to know something about everything, and instead free our imagina- tion to create expansive possibilities.


Anita Sanchez, Ph.D., is a transforma- tional leadership consultant, speaker, coach and author of the new book, Te Four Sacred Giſts: Indigenous Wisdom for Modern Times, from which this was adapted. For videos and a song, visit FourSacredGiſts.com.
