What
Others Have to Say about their experience with Takara, Raven, &
Spirit of Nature
|
"Hi
Takara, we've been meaning to email you since the beautiful
day we spent with you and Raven. What an amazing experience..it
has given us both so much. Thank you for the opportunity to
meet you and Raven and to participate in the sweat
lodge experience. Thanks to you both for all the work
you are doing in the world!" - Debbie and Matt, California
During the creation of the 9
Fires Medicine Wheels of Peace, many participants
have reported having extraordinary experiences - everything
from energetic awakenings to visual, auditory and kinesthetic
perceptions. Here are just a few of their comments:
- "I
was sitting with my eyes closed. I could hear Raven making
a sound, but I did not know what he was doing. Every time
he made the sound, I found myself raising my arms above
my head feeling energy flowing through me. The third time
this happened, I opened my eyes to see what he was doing.
I realized that I was feeling the activation and raising
my arms at the same time that Raven was raising his as he
directed the energy of the pillar upwards. It was an amazing
experience." - participant Eldorado, NM
- "Every
time Raven ignited a fire during the activation, I felt
energy move right through my heart and expand my heart chakra."
- participant Eldorado, NM
- "I'm
glad I was so grounded or I would have fallen over. When
Raven activated the 9th fire in the center of the wheel,
I could see this ball of energy raise up and move skyward.
It kept going higher and higher and getting bigger and bigger
until it just disappeared into the sky. I usually don't
see things like that. It was quite something." - participant
Pagosa Springs, CO
- "This
was definitely the highlight of my three days here."
- participant at a 3-day conference at Ghost Ranch, NM
"Thank you, Takara, for your healing
energy. The resistance I had been feeling to proceeding
with a project just faded away quietly after our session.
Dispite my awareness of the blocks and attempts to move them,
I simply had not been able to fully move past them on my own.
Within hours I was in action, gathering information, making
contacts, designing, writing, organizing.... Again thank you
for the love and empowerment that you carry. Blessings.
- KiP Walker, Minister, artist and Creator of Celebration
A few
comments from Takara's Manifesting Your Beloved Workshop:
- "Great
and enjoyable. You have to experience the class for yourself.
It is very much an independent experience of where you are
at in your journey." - Lynn Hutcherson
- "Very
good with more implications than a partner! Teaches you
to get clear about yourself and what you want and engage
your feelings to make it real." - Michael Lynn"
- "(I
learned) that I can manifest my Beloved or anything."
- Bonnie Jeavons
- "Very
helpful to focus on what 'I am putting out there.' I recommend
exploring your depths of desires using what Takara teaches
to Manifest your Beloved." - Jean MacDonald
"A lot of change has taken place in my life this spring,
but your newsletter has been very grounding. Thank you
for the connections and for the articles that always give me
something to think about. I still remember my first and only
sweat lodge - Jesse, in particular (our 4 year old). He had
absconded a personna from TV and was dramatizing it in detail.
He is a beautiful and very special child. After the sweat lodge
came potluck and conversation. I always said I'd join again
if only for the conversation."
- Frances Webb, California
"Takara: Just wanted to THANK YOU for all the leading edge
health information that you have been making available to us!
. . . the BioElectric Shield
has been stupendous - I sincerely believe that it is saving
my life on many levels. I am so much stronger now in any situation,
whether it is at the office or with family members. . . Also
I enjoy the Dancing
Dolphin Essences. Flower essences alone have changed
my health dramatically. This past winter I enjoyed good health
all winter long! Each week, I use pendulum testing and make
up a new flower essence combination for myself. I thought you
would be interested to know that my testing usually indicates
that I use at least one (or sometimes several) of the (Dancing
Dolphin) Bud Essences in with the other essences. I also
use Perelandra and Aluna Joy's. The (Dancing Dolphin) Bud Essences
do seem to increase the power of the combination. The more drops
of bud essence that are part of the combination, the fewer drops
I need to take of the combination each day. In any event, THANK
YOU AGAIN. I feel my health is increasing in leaps and bounds."
- Martine Joseph, New Britain, CT
Comments about a recent Earth Sky (sweat)
Lodge:
"We thank you for a wonderful, inspirational, and healing
time. . . we feel the positive effect already. . . . Thank you
again for providing a place where people can heal, and renew
their spirit within. It was a real treat for the two of us."
- Regina and Weldon Merritt, Santa Fe, NM
"Although my time with Raven and Takara was short, I have
never felt so connected to the Universal Source. It has changed
my life forever. . . They helped me Empower my life. For this
I will be eternally grateful."
- James Jeffrey, San Clemente, CA
". . . you (Takara) and Raven have been so guided, so intuitive,
so "ready" that you were given information ahead of
most of us. I just wanted to acknowledge you for your inner
wisdom, your willingness to share it, the love that you are.
NO accident that the two of you were brought together to do
your work."
- Joy Linsley, Chicago, IL
"How do you thank someone who comes into your life and
because of her influence your life is changed forever? Takara
has graced my life with her many talents and skills. Especially
through her healing
arts, I have made quantum leaps forward in my life.
At one crisis point she was able to facilitate my integration
of a significant shift in only 10 minutes! I had been beside
myself for 2 weeks. Her knowledge and keen ability to share
it have enriched my life forever! Perhaps due to her engineering
and teaching background she has an amazing ability to take extremely
complex concepts and information and boil it down to bottom
line usefulness with clarity. She makes things implicitly simple
and understandable to a lay person. Her extensive studies in
metaphysical and philosophical areas allow her to create freeways
for those of us who don't have time to sift it all out. The
clarity she creates with her accelerated techniques allows you
to quickly come on-line with the information (provided you are
ready to run with it), to transition, and to push past limitations."
- Theresa Wright, Carlsbad, CA
"Thanks
again so very much for the incredible sweat lodge experience.
I had reached a plateau in my journey of recovery from child
abuse and neglect, and the sweat lodge experience helped me
break down internal barriers to future progress. I am more self-confident
and spiritually connected, and I have already made great progress
in my therapy work since my return. I was led to the lodge and
to you, Raven, for a reason, and that was to reach the next
level in my healing process. I am so glad I made a leap of faith
and trust to try a new approach. And thank all of you for your
hospitality and good company following the ceremony."
- Joni
Students at one of Raven's Medicine
Shield Workshops:
"Excellent experience for self understanding
and self help. One of the best classes I've taken so far. Thank
You." -
Margot Backdoll
"Good positive energy from Raven and my first step on my
learning journey was very positive and one I'll keep traveling.
Thank You." - Russell
"Great experience! Especially enjoyed the guided meditation
at the water's edge."
- Weldon Merritt, Eldorado, NM
"I enjoyed the Spirit Walk thoroughly. I liked the basic
down to earth-ness. Thank you so much for giving us this experience."
- Ruth Omlin, Santa Fe, NM
"I feel that you're extremely knowledgable about the Spirit
of Nature and you have perfect surroundings. Both of you are
gracious and hospitable. Thank you for an afternoon of spiritual
peace!
- Peter Faux
"I realized the beauty in simplicity of nature - yet so
abundant and in harmony with each other. There is simplicity
in walking - with ease and an open heart to oneness of all life,
seeing Spirit in and around, above and below in so many different
forms. Simplicity in seeing, feeling enjoying, touching, breathing,
sharing, expressing - feeling the water and becoming part of
it. How simple and joyful - the greatest show and entertainment
on earth: nature, and seeing and feeling Spirit in Oneness.
We are blessed to know both of you. Thank you for the experience
of today. I feel enriched and awakened to the deep and beautiful
joy of simplicity within all nature and life. Joy to both of
you, and Jesse, and my love and blessings. With appreciation,"
- Regina Merritt-Buck, Msc.D., PhD. Eldorado, NM
"Give yourself the gift of self exploration through ceremony,
spiritual community, and new paradigms of unfolding the soul
with Raven and Takara as tour guides .... don't let these opportunities
pass you by unless you want to miss out on fun and creative
gatherings. Hope to see you at a coming event soon."
- Page Press, Santa Fe, NM
"I had a healing
session with Takara . . . I could viscerally feel the
energy pulsing up and down my meridians . . . The synergistic
energy was electrically surging through my body. I felt so energized.
I have three fused discs in my spinal column and deal with chronic
fatigue. It's the most energy I've felt in 3 years."
- Suzy Couvee, Encinitas, CA
"I would like to dedicate this poem (below) to Raven and
to all his relations, in appreciation for my wonderful experience
at his Sacred Medicine Lodge. Thank You.
The Lodge
I watched Raven as he walked and prayed, gathered wood and prepared
for the sweat lodge ceremony that lovely day.
The air was charged with magic as little people gathered and
dragons hovered near. We gathered blankets and tarps to cover
the willows bent in homage forming a dome-shaped dwelling.
Precious objects were placed upon the altar to be blessed as
the fire cooked lava rocks until they smoldered and sparkled.
We followed Raven on hands and knees clockwise into the lodge
carefully around the fire pit that awaited the stones.
Stone people were carried upon deer horn to the fire pit as
Raven blessed each stone with cedar praying all the while.
We sat waiting in the darkness humble and quiet as ancient spirits
sang thru Raven while he prayed and played his music.
We were transported back to a time when ancient ones sat in
sacred circle connected to Great Spirit and Mother Earth.
Thru Raven, the winged ones chased problems from our hearts
and minds, gently and kindly Raven led us thru the ritual.
We met each direction giving our sweat to Mother Earth. Burdens
lifted from my shoulders, my mind cleared.
My heart opened as I moved thru the prayers, sounds and steam.
After the fourth direction we followed Raven on hands and knees
into the cold night - warm, purified and free.
Fire crackled its dying embers, Grandmother Moon shone as star
people smiled upon us on that cold winter night.
Raven then brought us into his home, his kindness and care continuing
to nourish us with food and drink.
As I drove home that night I knew I had undergone transformation
of my Soul - that Mother Earth had my burdens.
I prayed, grateful for Raven and all his relations for this
most wonderful and beautiful experience.
I have been in many Native American sweats, but none where I
have felt so accepted and so at home.

We co-sponsored a wild dolphin experience with Dolhume
Synergy. This is what they had to say:
"It has been our pleasure to work with Raven and Takara
. . . They have integrity and to us this is extremely important.
We feel they do their jobs well and have genuine concern for
both parties. They bend over backwards to make sure everyone's
needs are met. We will continue to work with them in the future."
- Cindy Gianelli, Coco Sandt, Ellen Solart, Dolhume Synergy,
Prescott, AZ
"I've just reread your Rising from the Ashes article in
this issue. The past few days I've had a lot of gratitude for
the support that I have been availed of over the years. I'm
especially appreciative when I find a consistent source of quality
information such as you provide. So even though you haven't
seen any direct results of assisting me please know that your
information has been immensely helpful. Really cherishing the
presence of dolphins and whales I'm also grateful for the focus
you have in this regard. blessings.
- Cassandra Noel

peace and harmony. I look forward to receiving my newsletter

busy and hectic life as a working mom and wife. Sometimes it
is so easy to get caught up in the distractions of everyday

power of our words since this is an area I have had to struggle
to overcome. Blessings to you as you do this important work,
and thanks!!!!!!
- Light & Love - Claire Boettler
"Thanks
for your incredible newsletters. I'm always so uplifted,
informed, inspired..." -
Jamie Zimron, California
"Dear Takara: First of all I always look forward to your
newsletter. It was only last night that I was reading
over last month's wanting to share some of your ideas with
my husband. Then, this morning there it (the next newsletter)
was waiting for me. I devoured the entire newsletter in record
time; hungry for your comforting words and suggestions. I
just want to say, thank you, for sharing your experiences
and thoughts. Spirit of Nature is truly appreciated and used
everyday as a mentor and "heart healer" as well
as a reminder that I am not alone in my beliefs and reasonings.
Your Commentary on the "Oneness and the Human Condition"
was a wonderful reminder of what comes first in your life.
This everyday world that I live in is very different. I find
myself getting caught up in other people's values and sense
of right and wrong. This leaves me with a sick heart. Your
newsletter helps, among other resources, to keep my heart
chugging along on the right tracks."
- Carol Hairfield, Moseley, Virginia
