ribut The Experience of My First
ors Inipi Ceremony or Sweat Lodge
Even
Before The Lodge
ts
Galle It just so happens that the place where the Lodge is is the exact spot where
friends and I came to do meditation and relaxing with nature and Mother
ry Earth in about 1968-1969. Sitting Owl directed while I helped to set up and
prepare the lodge and Grandfather Fire. While the Grandfather Stone people
Prod where being reheated, Sitting Owl’s prayers of Gratitude to Great Spirit
inspired me to do the same. Then I sat down to bring myself into a relaxed
ucts meditative state of consciousness. I began talking about the auras of trees
Links and how they seem to pulsate with white light and a golden outline as if
they’re breathing. This was to assist Sitting Owl in opening his third eye,
Cont inner eye, mind’s eye or mind screen, and to enhance my own experience in
the lodge. The Stone People were red hot now, so we smudged ourselves
act and went on in to commune with Wakan Tanka and his helpers.
YouT
The First Round
ubes
Before Sitting Owl closed the lodge door I was already sweating my guts
Testi out [For overseas readers that means sweating profusely. Ed.] And then he
put some water on the stones. When Sitting Owl sang the welcoming song
moni
my third eye opened and I saw specks of rainbow coloured tiny stars of
als energy. When Sitting Owl had finished singing I saw a whirling golden
orange coloured vortex of energy, like a funnel, coming from outside the
lodge, through the roof and into the Stone People pit. Circular waves then
pulsated from the pit and lit up the whole lodge. When I described that to
Exter Sitting Owl, he said that it was probably the Great Spirit entering the lodge.
nal Then I saw a huge silhouetted bear with a golden coloured outline, and then
I saw an eagle circling the roof of the lodge from where Spirit came in.
Pages While Sitting Owl was explaining the significance of these visions, the
lodge was so hot that I almost blacked out. Thank Great Spirit; Sitting Owl
then opened the door to end the first round.
Foru
The Second Round
m
As Sitting Owl was introducing the subject for this round’s prayers, being
Blog
the four directions and there associated elements, I had to concentrate on
doing yogi breathing to keep myself from blacking out. At one stage I had a
vision of a deer’s head with antlers, later Sitting Owl explained deer as the
medicine of gentleness. While Sitting Owl was finishing his prayers I felt
Subs heaviness on the top of my head like wearing a crown. I realised that this
was Great Spirit helping to heal my chronic inner ear infection that I have
cribe had for ten years. With my clairaudience I heard Great Spirit say, “Help me
to heal you”, so I immediately put my Rieki hands over my left ear and left
throat, meanwhile I was still almost blacking out. With my inner vision I
Blog then saw Great Spirit, in the form of golden light, swirling around my inner
ear.
My I then just managed to say some prayers before finishing the round. We were
both so in need of fresh air that once the door was open we both collapsed
Dot with our heads hanging out gasping for air. This was not a painful
au experience, because it was actually quite blissful and wonderful.
site The Third Round
I was so blissed out during this round that I just laid down while Sitting Owl
said prayers for the two-leggeds. Then, I just managed to sit up to say my
own prayers for the two-leggeds. While David waited for the steam to take
my prayers up to the Great Spirit I had visions of a green and brown
coloured turtle and an ambrosia coloured butterfly with a golden outline.
Sitting Owl explained that turtle is Mother Earth and butterfly is
transformation. Again we both collapsed with our heads hanging out
gasping for air.
The Forth and last Round
In this round we sang some songs. And when Sitting Owl sang the departing
song in the Lakota language I could see the song coming from him like
bubbles of silvery white clouds. After that I had a vision of a spider and then
a purple spotted beetle. It was as if after the Great Spirit had left the lodge I
saw white and golden doves circling out through the roof. While I was
waiting for Sitting Owl to leave the lodge and thank Maka (Mother Earth),
and as I did some deep breathing, I experienced ecstatic physical tingling
over my entire body, right down to my bones. As I was departing, and just
after I had given thanks to Mother Earth, I again saw the purple spotted
beetle. While I waited for Sitting Owl to cut the cord of his rebirth (Splash
water over his body to ground himself) I was on my hands and knees
gasping for air, still half in the lodge.
However, even the cutting of my own cord was a groovy and blissful
experience. By the way, cold water on a hot body and chest boosts the
immune system by increasing the ‘T’ cell (white cell) production, thus
healing any infection of body.
After the Lodge

This is when we sat around the Sacred Fire feasting on the offering fruits
from the altar, and we quickly recovered as we debriefed, giving thanks to
the Great Spirit for the awesome and FANTASTIC!! Experience of my first
sweat.
Epilogue
As I entered my tent to sleep I was still seeing visions of speckles of light

and a spider and its web. As I collapsed on my bed in a state of ecstatic bliss
saying thank you to mama and papa, I realised that Great Spirit was still
with me, always has been, and always will be. And I’ll be back for many
more sweats, as I am still in awe over this technique of communing with the
Great Spirit. So Sitting Owl is also a pretty good cook, through him the
Great Spirit cooked me up pretty good! I feel more balanced, grounded,
focused and whole; and I’m looking forward to the next journey. I
recommend this same experience for everyone in the world.

How to Use the Herbs

As the following information is simply a collection of information, it is
recommended that if problems persist or if there is any doubt you seek
advice from a professional medical or naturopathic practitioner. All the
herbs in this book can be cultivated in a home garden, and an organic garden
is preferred.
Warning on dosages
When in doubt don’t. Please check with one of the many herbalists available
for correct uses and dosages.
Tisane or Infusions
These are made by pouring boiling water on the fresh or dried herbs and
allowing a few minutes to infuse, usually from five (5) to twelve (12)
minutes. The strength varies with different herbs, and can be sweetened to
taste with honey, raw, or brown sugar.
Brews or Decoctions
These are made by simmering the herb in water for ten (10) minutes. The
proportions are the same as for the teas above. Boiling destroys the active
principle or ingredient of some herbs and these are better taken as teas or
eaten raw in salads and other food dishes. Dosage varies, but it is difficult to
take an overdose of any of the herbs in this book. Herbal medicines act
gently and slowly. Instant miraculous cures are as unlikely as harmful side
effects. The curative properties of these herbs have been known and
described for centuries, so are tried and true. It is recommended that you
begin with a smallest dose and gradually increase it This is a hot or cold
pack applied to the skin, often over a wound or other damage. It is made by
mixing hot water with chopped or ground herbs in a muslin (cotton gauze)
bag, often used to draw pus and other debris from a wound. Onion, Linseed
and Comfrey are particularly suited to this technique
Parsley
for the Nerves
(Petroselinum)
Therapeutic actions of the leaves and stems:
Neutral to cooling (Slightly Yin)
DIURETIC: To excite the secretion of urine, or the driving off (reduction)

of fluids.
STIMULANT: Quickens the physiological processes.
NUTRITIVE: High Vitamin and Mineral content.
CALMATIVE: A mild sedative for calming the nerves and combating
stress.
APPETITE: Increases appetite for food.
DEPURATIVE: To purify the blood (Chrophyill).
EMMENAGOGUE: Promotes menstrual discharge.
CULINARY: To give flavouring to foods, particularly salads and sauces.
Therapeutic actions of seeds:

of fluids.
Helps to prevent cancer.
stress.
APPETITE: Increases appetite for food. Helps children in the growing
process.
Parsley cleanses and enriches the blood, which makes it good for helping to
reduce skin disorders; and the high content of iron along with oestrogen-like
substances make it good for weak anaemic women with scanty periods.
Parsley also helps with digestion and Rheumatism.
Freshly expressed juice: 1 Teaspoon to ½ a cup of water, vitamised with

the fibre strained off. ONLY ONE (1) CUP PER DAY taken in the morning
helps with voice loss and asthma. Also a remedy for intermittent fever.
Parsley Tea: About 3 sprigs to 1 cup of boiling water. Leave for 10

minutes, then strain and drink before retiring for bed. This is an excellent
remedy for kidney and bladder troubles, menstrual colic, and relieves
rheumatism.
Note: Because it increases the menstrual flow, parsley should not be taken
in the form of tea during pregnancy or by women with heavy periods,
although it can still be used as flavouring in foods.

of fluids.
stress.
Therapeutic action of oil:
RUBEFACIENT: (To rub in). Used as a liniment.
Oregano, as well as having a natural antibiotic action, also has a powerful

action on the respiratory and digestive systems, so it therefore eases colds
and flues of the cold shivery type. It is given to relieve cramps, for the relief
of painful menstruation, and for catarrh (inflammation of mucous
membrane) of the air passages, head colds, and asthma.
Tea of Oregano: 1oz (approx. 30 grams) of freshly picked or dried leaves to

1 pint (approx. ½ litre) of boiling water.

DISINFECTANT: Cleanses infection by destroying or inhibiting the activity
of disease producing micro-organisms.
ASTRINGENT: Contracts organic tissue, reducing secretions or discharges.
FEBRIFUGE: Drives away or removes fever.
DIGESTIVE: Increases the tone of the stomach and aids digestion.
of fluids.
stress.
Sage is one of the finest prophylactics (antibiotics), fighting against

infectious diseases. It is a thousand times more beneficial to the human cell
than any synthetic antibiotic as it destroys the invading bacteria, but not the
essential healthy bacteria, which protect against further infections. As a
result Sage helps with almost any biological system especially the immune
system and digestive system.
Sage is an excellent remedy for all throat infections and the essential oil can
also be rubbed around the throat area. And it is also a fine brain tonic, useful
for concentration.
Sage Tea: 1oz (approx. 30 grams) of fresh or dried sage leaves to 1 pint
(approx. ½ litre) of boiling water. Leave for 10 minutes, then strain. Drink
when needed for all infections of the throat, tonsils, laryngitis etc. It is a
remedy for pleurisy and pneumonia; hence it is good for the lungs. It
relieves wind and cramps of the stomach and will help alleviate diarrhoea.
Sage also quietens the nerves and makes for a sound sleep.
Sage Gargle: 30g of fresh or dried leaves to ½ l of water. Boil for five (5)
minutes, strain and cool. Add some honey to improve the taste.
NOTE: Because it encourages menstruation, sage is not recommended as a
tea or rub during pregnancy and heavy periods. As with all herbal
preparations of teas, three (3) cups a day for three (3) weeks is sufficient, as
overuse or abuse causes reverse effects.
Sitting Owl uses a sprinkle on the tomato along with the salt and pepper for
his salad sandwiches.
NB: It was the Bear that gave man his knowledge of herbal medicine. Man
observed the bear eating certain plants when he was suffering a particular
problem.

ABORTIVE: Produces premature childbirth.
Rosemary is an excellent brain tonic, which promotes memory; hence it is a

good tea for anyone studying. It has a warming and moving (energy) action,
so it raises the Yang. It is a proven remedy for digestive disorders, wind in
the bowels, diseases of the abdominal organs, heart complaints, and dropsy.
And it is a good tonic for the nerves.
Rosemary Tea: 1oz (30g) of fresh or dried leaves to 1pt (½ litre) of boiling
water. Drink 1 cup 3 times daily. As a stomachic, for those suffering from
mild digestive upset, it may be made from 1oz (30g) of Peppermint leaves.
It is good to have 1 cup in the morning or at night made from 1 sprig of
Rosemary to 1 pint (½ litre) of boiling water, a slice of lemon, sweetened
with honey.
Note: Rosemary should not be used where high blood pressure, ‘bursting’
headaches, or any hot disease is present.
WARNING: Rosemary should not be taken during pregnancy, due to

its abortive quality.

ANODYNE: Allays (represses), soothes or mitigates pain.
Thyme has been proven to be good at strengthening the heartbeat and

increasing the metabolic rate. It also helps to get rid of bacteria and phlegm
as well as cheering and warming the heart and lifting the spirit, so it is
excellent for colds and bronchitis. Thyme put into a bath strengthens the
body against infections and improves circulation. An old, tried and proven
remedy for sprains, strains, swellings and bruising is to bath the affected
body parts with an infusion of thyme.
Thyme Tea: ½ oz (approx. 15 grams) to 1 pint (½ litre) of boiling water, 3

times daily, or more if desired. This infusion is used for cramps in the
abdomen, cramps due to period pains for women, colic, headaches, and
catarrh conditions as well as stomach cramps. Double the dose for whooping
cough.

SUDORIFIC or DIAPHORETIC: Produces or increases sweat.
COLOUR AGENT: Used in dyes.
Therapeutic actions of leaves, stem and root:

system.
STYPTIC: Stops minor blood flow or arrests bleeding.
Marigold or Calendula is a known preventative of cancer. Other known

herbs that help the prevention of cancer are Beetroot, Horseradish, Angelica,
and the Tree of Life.
It also soothes stagnant energy in the liver; and has a strong anti-
inflammatory and healing action on the digestive system, so it is good for
treating conditions like inflammation of the stomach and stomach ulcers,
cysts, warts, gastritis, colic, diarrhoea, and irritable bowels. Marigold or
Calendula is well known as beneficial to be added to all herbal combinations
for all gynaecological problems, and the ointment form is good for rubbing
on sore nipples as a result of initial breast-feeding. An infusion, or tea, of the
flower petals is also used to remedy constipation, yellow jaundice, and
scanty or delayed menstruation.
Marigold Tea: put 1oz (approx. 30 grams) of the petals in a teacup, fill with
boiling water, leave for 10 minutes, cool, and drink 1 or 2 cups per day if
necessary. For stomach ulcers, 1 tablespoon of the above tea every 2 hours.
The tincture (alcoholic solution of a medicine) of Calendula petals is the
finest antiseptic known for open wounds; bleeding will stop and healing will
start soon after application.

Comfrey
for the Bones
(Symphytum Officinale)
Therapeutic actions of leaves and root:

STYPTIC: Both ASTRINGENT and HAEMOSTATIC. (Both of the above).
VULNERARY: A remedy for wounds.
SEDATIVE: Allays (represses) irritability and irritations, and reduces pain.
DEMULCENT: Lessens the effects of irritation particularly of the mucous
membrane.
Comfrey root preparation:

The root may be washed and boiled for 15 minutes, 1oz (approx. 30g) of
fresh root to 1-½ pints (approx. ¾ litre) of water. 1 cup every 2 hours for
broken bones, asthma, skin complaints, and lung infections. Of the dried
root, 2oz (approx. 60g) should be used to 1½ pints (¾ l) of water.
Comfreys, having the above properties make it useful for any type of
healing, particularly of cartilage and bone. As an ointment it is very good for
healing wounds and external ulcers. Internally it is good for treating
inflammatory conditions and ulcers of the gastro-intestinal tract. Asthma
sufferers may chew a few fresh leaves every day to get relief and build up
resistance. For anaemia, the fresh or dried leaves may be used in an infusion
of 1oz (30g) to 1pt (½ l) of boiling water, 1 cup 3 times daily.
Comfrey Poultices:
These may be made by bruising the leaves with the back of a knife, put a
slightly damp towel around the leaves. Apply to the wound, sore muscle or
swollen joint and leave on for 2 hours and then renew the poultice or give
the patient a break for about 6 hours and then repeat. One may also steep the
fresh leaves in boiling water as an alternative to bruising. The leaves can
then be removed from the water, cooled, and applied in the same manner.
Injuries to the eyes are treated successfully by Comfrey. 1 teaspoon of

freshly expressed juice from the leaves may be used in an eye bath of boiled
or distilled water. Take both internally and externally for eye injuries.
After an accident, whether or not bones have been broken, Comfrey should
be used for a few months. It will clear up whatever internal injuries there
are. One warning must be given however. Do not give Comfrey to a person
who has been in an accident for the first four days, as it has the quality to
congeal blood. This may cause a blood clot, which, if it were to lodge in an
artery, it could be dangerous.

SUDORIFIC or DIAPHORETIC: Produces or increases sweat.
of fluids.
CULINARY: To give flavouring to foods, particularly salads and sauces.
Garlic is now widely known for its antibiotic, antibacterial antifungal, and
antiviral effects. These qualities combined with its powerful expectorant and
its warming and strengthening action on the respiratory system, makes it
excellent for treating colds and flu of the chilliness type. Garlic also helps to
eliminate harmful bacteria created by putrefaction of food in the gut due to
slow digestion; it increases circulation, warming cold limbs, helps unclog
blocked arteries, and lowers blood pressure
When using garlic for treatment, as opposed to a preventative, take 1 clove

(segment) twice a day with lunch and dinner for up to 3 weeks.
NOTE: Garlic should not be taken when there is an excess of heat or
inflammation in the body, especially in the digestive system, as in gastritis
or ulcers.

Nettle (Stinging Nettle)

for Everything
(Urtica Urens or Urtica Dioica)
KEY CONSTITUENTS:
SEED: Secretin.
LEAF: Flavonoids (Quercetin); Amines (Histamine, Choline, Acetylcholine
And Serotonin); Glucoquinone; Minerals (Calcium, Potassium, Iron, Silicic,
Acid); Vitamin C; Lecithin; Chlorophyll; Enzymes.
Neutral to warm (Increases Yang)

system.
of fluids.
ANTINFLAMATORY: Reduces inflammation.
ANTIASTHMATIC and ANTIBRONCHIAL qualities.
ANODYNE: Allays (represses), soothes or mitigates pain (Pain Killer).
VERMIFUGE: Expels intestinal worms.
Nettle Tea with a sprig of Thyme is used for mild asthma relief and
bronchial problems. The herb is also used as a remedy for kidney troubles
and prevents scrofula, which is tuberculosis of the lymph nodes in the neck.
Nettle will expel gravel from the bladder and increase the flow of urine.
Used for neuralgia, a poultice of the fresh steeped leaves will relieve pain,
but do not leave poultice on too long or over use for pain, this herb tends to
blister the skin if over used. The tea of nettle increases the menstrual flow
and it kills and expels worms. It is also used for diarrhoea, dysentery, piles
or haemorrhoids, haemorrhages, gravel or stones, and anaemia. For chronic
rheumatism, take the fresh bruised leaves and rub on the skin.
To make a decoction use one teaspoon to a cup of water and simmer on the
stove for 10 minutes, strain and use. A tea made with the root of nettle will
help in the first stage of dropsy. And it is used for haemorrhages from the
urinary organs, lungs, intestines, nose, and stomach.
Use the boiled nettle leaves to stop bleeding almost immediately if applied
externally.
Nettle tea is good for colds and flu, pleurisy, fever, and la grippe; is an old
remedy for backache and is great for eczema. Use a tisane (tea) to help break
up and expel phlegm from the lungs and stomach; clean out the urinary
canal and the leaves alone increases breast milk production. It is good for
acne and as a blood builder and purifier.
Use nettle tea or decoction for a skin, scalp, and hair tonic to bring back the
natural colour of the hair; use as a last rinse when shampooing. Add a little
apple cider vinegar to the fresh decoction for hair use, as it helps rid
dandruff and brings back new life and natural lustre to hair.
To make a stronger decoction try making a decoction from the root and the
leaves, as it reduces prostate enlargement. A strong decoction of this nettle
herb can be used for atrophied parts of the body. Wash the herb all over the
arms, legs, shoulders, anywhere there is wasted muscles. Bath in it for
severe atrophy.
Use nettle tea for cleansing, detoxifying, hay fever, allergic rhinitis, mild
asthma, nappy rash, insect bites, and the fresh expressed juice of the leaves
to treat stinging nettle stings.
It is good to know that when the stinging varieties are dry it does not sting
you! So please try not to stress about stinging nettle, use it, it has great
medicinal virtues, the same as the non-stinging varieties.
Keep in mind that the herb nettle’s mineral content is high and is a great
tonic for depleted and frayed nerves and is a restorative after long illness.
Also use the young freshly picked tender leaves with salad greens mixed
with herb salad.

Mulberry
for Fevers and Thirst
(Morus Nigra Family: Moraceae)
Therapeutic actions of the berry and juice:
Cooling (Yin)
NUTRITIVE: Serving to nourish.

REFRIGERANT: Cooling the body.
LAXATIVE: Relieving constipation.
of fluids.
The Mulberry tree is found in most states of Australia, as it is a very

adaptable tree, which thrives in a cold climate as well as a subtropical one.
The fruit or expressed juice makes an excellent tonic for those who are
convalescing from febrile (fever) or infectious diseases, influenza etc. It is
cooling to the blood and quenches thirst. In the sick room, when anyone has
a fever, this drink is preferred for its tonic action and thirst quenching
qualities over any other beverage. The leaves of the mulberry are used for
rearing silkworms.

Minerals
By: Dr. Maurice Blackmore
My theories began with an argument with a professor in medical school. He
admitted the presence of several trace minerals in human cells, but claimed
that they were accidental and of no importance.
I could not believe or accept that they were either accidental or

unnecessary. These minerals are constant in normal cells – always present
in the same amounts and proportions. It did not take long to prove to my
own satisfaction that when these minerals were in any way deficient, there
was a disastrous alteration to the structure and function of the cells.
Here then, to me was one of the “missing links” in medicine. And I have
spent forty years producing proof after proof to support my original theory.
As my research progressed, it became evident to me that these minerals

were in colloidal form, and that these colloidal minerals in various groups
dictated the type of cells to be formed.
So far, we have only isolated 11 compounds that can help correct a

deficiency of these colloidal minerals – they are called Celloids*. There
may be more, but these 11 cover a very wide field of deficiency symptoms.
They provide the key to direct repair, reconstruction or replacement of any
particular type of cell, and thus any particular type of tissue.
Our research established a great host of symptoms that could be relieved by

administering one or more of these compounds. This indicates that the
symptom is created by the effect of a deficiency of one or more of those
compounds.
It also indicates something more important. That is, that these symptoms are
evidence of faulty structure and functioning of the cells. Or, in other words,
a vast array of disease symptoms is produced by colloidal mineral
malnutrition.
One element only may be necessary, but usually the symptoms dictate the
use of two, three, or four. No type of cell depends entirely on one element
alone, but if only one element is deficient in the cell, a degeneration or
breakdown of the whole cell will result.
I should explain my unwillingness to depend on modern diet for supply of

these colloidal minerals. In the process of refining of foods a large
percentage of these elements is lost. This is known and, in some instances,
efforts are made to replace the mineral loss. The replacement minerals used,
however, are not in their proper, naturally occurring form.
Large percentages are lost in processing and in cooking. Hundreds of

chemicals are being used in food today and, in my opinion, many of them
can cause biological chemistry to deviate from its normal course. Many of
these chemicals could actually neutralise some of the natural mineral
elements. This is why I claim that modern diet is a hazardous source of
supply of the essential minerals.
Therefore Blackmores Laboratories make Celloid* Mineral Therapies.

Regarding the foods that are high in colloidal form refer to Colin’s chart
For foods high in total minerals here is a table of total minerals giving the
percentage.

Potato, Cauliflower and Cabbage
Soup
(To serve 4 – 6 ‘Earth People’)
Ingredients:
3 – 4 medium Potatoes, washed & diced.
1 Leek washed & diced.
½ of a Cauliflower washed and diced in big chunks.
¼ of a Cabbage, finely shredded.
Olive oil; Butter; Chicken stock powder; Nutmeg and Black Pepper. One
clove of Garlic – finely diced; and a big dash (1/2 a cup) of fresh cream.
Leek, Garlic, Chicken powder, and cream are all optional, and can be easily
substituted with your favourite choices.
Method:
In a large saucepan, on a moderate heat, melt two table spoons of butter, and
two table spoons of olive oil. Now add all the diced vegetables, and stirring
with a wooden spoon add the garlic, and stir for another minute. Next add
one litre of veggie broth or chicken stock and the cream, and then season
with nutmeg and black pepper (no more than two pinches of each spice).
Now bring the soup to the boil, stirring with a wooden spoon. Then drop the
heat down to a slow simmer, occasionally stirring for the next 20 – 40
minutes. Just before serving, mash with a potato masher then taste and re-
season – maybe adding a dash of Worcestershire or soy sauce and a dash
more cream. Reheat to the boil and serve with chopped chives and or
parsley. Don’t forget those warm and delicious, crusty, buttered bread roles.
Bon-appetite.
