Just imagine if everyone would be like Navajo Grandmother in this world, it would be such an amazing Earth. I wish everyone would watch these videos as you touch the heart and soul in a person with your beautiful energy. Thank you so much and blessings and prayers to everyone ❤❤❤🙏
Charlotte how powerful are you? Wow your comment just filled me with such goodness and I see your heart and soul so beautiful and I don't think you need this cleansing as you are filled with such beauty of Hozho. Peace, Beauty, Balance and Harmony. What we speak is a mirror of whom we are. Thank you for your kindness and hugs yourself as I am sending healing hugs to you that you see that you have a new lease on life and now run with it. Be powerfully empowered and do it without negativity but positive vibrations and energy of which we are made of. You are lovely. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
Well thank you. Pah pah pah as you ruffle out that negativity. You are so sweet. Smile & know Grandma loves you for watching and being receptive! That's an honor. Remember your new lease on life, now get running & live a wonderful life with prayer, goodness & serving others who need you. Thank you so much! Remain wonderful. Navajo Grandma
I totally agree with you as I honor my Bizhi (Paternal gma) who suckled me and raised me as her own, my teacher, my example, my everything as a child to have been reared by her and my Nali. In the tribal ways, children were given to their grandparents to rear as the parents went to work, grandparents raised and taught the posterity that they would have values, honor for life, learn to be trustworthy, and mainly all morals and more's in life, and especially knowing who God is with reverence, that his handwork is Father Sky, Mother Earth and all things herein that were created for our good. So holy. You are right. How precious your understanding is. Navajo Grandma
@@fernandasbordone2553 You know what Fernanda? Angels recognize each other. You are an angel that recognize grandma being an angel and that makes the both us pretty awesome. Don't you think? Love you so. Navajo Grandma
When you spoke about Jesus walking among you, my entire body began to tingle, the video is over and it’s still tingling. I had never thought to smudge my eyes, mouth and heart, or to pray as I smudged. Thank you so much for your love and kindness, even for the white man. I love you too Grandmother, I give to you great respect, love and admiration, may you have grace all the days of your life.
Virginia, sometimes I hear comments, but your comment is precious. Your spirit is strong. Your ability to be taught is a true virtue and as you commented all of these things came to grandma's heart. Christ is our Savior, we all shall see Him again soon. I so look forward to that day, I hope to see you there. Hugs always. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma Hi, how you doing? Great Video Navajo Grandma. I just wanted to let you know I only use smudge sticks not to cleanse myself not to get rid of negative spirits but I only use them when I go outside to the woods to drive away those pesky flies and mosquitoes.
It's wonderful to see this beautiful Navajo Grandma, teaching us westerners how to do smudging and how we can learn to lie our lives. More Native people should follow her lead and teach us their world, I think the World needs this now.
Boy are you right. We need to be rid of the huge negativity in our Continental USA. Our precious land. Its too bad we can't smudge the world and wake up to positive outcomes. We desperately need to cleanse this world. God help us. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma I'm in the U.K, so you are reaching the world right now. And we all need to join forces in Healing our precious Earth, but more so for us, to re-balance and live our lives with nature, like the original peoples did.❤Thank you Navajo Grandma
Well Paul I am adoptable and yes you are my adopted grandchild too. So it goes both ways and happy to be your Navajo Grandma. If they ask, are you part Native just say, well I have a Navajo Grandma. See what their response it LOL!! Navajo Grandma
Well it is wonderful for you to find Navajo Grandma. I am so happy you are here and in our Navajo Grandma family. You are loved here, you matter and you are needed, "hows that? I love this smudging video and yes, that is how we smudge with our hands in the Navajo Nation using Cedar or Juniper. The Plains indians use white sage, etc. You don't even have to use anything, just use your hands and ruffle that yulky junk out of you and give yourself the good energy you need. I am so happy to hear from you. Hugs and loves to you from Navajo Grandma
When Grandma sends her love, her hugs and Hozho to you, it is a powerful prayer to keep you safe, to heal you, and give you comfort in the coming days and year for only but success in your life. Life is sober, it is real, we only live it one time and let's do it right with Ke', Hozho, prayer, smudging and bringing in the positive. Navajo Grandma
Thank u for ur wonderful teachings. I just started smudging and this vid was very helpful. I just finished the fry bread vid too and I canr wait to try it this week. I want to keep all these traditions so ur videos are very helpful to me 🙂
MY Big Hugs and Kisses to you too my dearest blessed Gramma!!!!

May the CREATOR Bless You and the Diné! 😘🙏🌺🌈🌞🙌🏽
I needed this video. My daughter was in PICU with covid pneumonia and was on a high flow oxygen along with steroids for her lungs. I asked everyone I know to pray for her. I prayed all day everyday I spoke the Promises from the Bible for health, and healing. My daughter is now recovered and we will be going home today. The power of prayer is strong and I’m so grateful. I did what you said and I told her how much she means to me how much joy she brings to be everyday. I have four wonderful children and they are my entire world. I want to thank you for all your videos. My children are from the Paiute tribe and I’m from the Three Affiliated Tribes. God bless you and your family.
My dearest Kimberly, Wow, what an endearing story. I am so thankful your daughter is returning back to full health. It is truly amazing how truth, honesty, prayer, appreciation, Hozho and Ke' does heal. So many are so involved with themselves they lose these internal innate love and endearment we each need for one another. I told my husband before my fiance' died I had pneumonia so bad, and my fiance' had been gone out of state. I missed him so much. When I saw him, I literally was healed instantly. He loved me so much and sadly, he did die. When he died, he did come back to me to tell me how much love he had for me and to let him go as my life would move forward. It was hard but my life did move forward, and here I am teaching and sending you my hugs and love. You are loved and so is your daughter.. Keep up the love, hugs and positivity. Paw paw paw, get rid of the negative, illness, anything and in its place comes positivity, health, love, etc. Navajo Grandma

@kimberlythompson926 Kimberly, tho it's been 2 years your comment I have reread with the hope of God and all that is positive. I am so humbled by your self expressions. Your honesty. You are a good soul and I again ask you to pray always, you are never forgotten but loved by your Navajo Grandma. I pray that your life is filled with joy and that you know you matter in this life. Love ❤️ & hugs. Navajo Grandma
Thank you Navajo grandma for being on you tube for someone like me. I can see you and hear your beautiful words. Iam grateful you are here and thank u very much for your love and support in the world Iam grateful to have found you
Thank you so much, but I should thank you even more because without you grandma wouldn’t exist. How awesome does that make you? “VERY!” Hugs. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma I enjoy our stories and your wisdom and I most enjoy seeing you speaking so strong and true. You make me proud to be alive and strong I hope one day I make it to your age and be as humble as you are
So many love this video. Thank you and remember your new lease on life, the ability you have to cleanse your home, your thoughts, mind and all spiritually, mentally & psychologically etc. Hugs to you from Navajo Grandma
Yateeh Nali! I grew up in diinetah and moved to Texas 4 years ago, I miss home so much and this was an awakening for me! Out of respect and reverence I finally smudged my howan,… we needed it and I needed this peace tonight as well. Thank you and god bless nali!
Tyson you did what was wonderful for your home. This is great. I hope you are able to go back to your home in Texas. First I get an opposition comment now it is full of goodness. Smudging does bring peace, and the smell is priceless to my nose and spirit. I am so happy you do this to clear the air, the spirit of what you live. This is lovely. What a change of comments. hugs from Navajo Grandma
Bless you beautiful woman. I used to always just smudge my house and never thought to smudge myself ; oh, I think this is going to be the best practice I take on. Thank you so much.
Wonderful! There is always something we learn. Smudge away with your new lease on your Hozho life. That is walking in beauty life. Paw paw paw, release the bad, welcome in the good. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Thanks for this. To cleanse my life, you'd need a forest. I am only 36 but feel like I've lived for 100 years. This made me feel a little better though! Keep going Grandma. I appreciate your insight and uplifting attitude.
Hyala, no need for a forest, remember what Gma said, forgiving yourself first, though not easy, but I give you permission that you can do it. Then also Gma gave you a new lease on life. Begin right now, paw paw paw, your whatever past is gone, now move forward CLEAN, NEW, yup, it’s done. Most of all love you, yourself Hyala, dear one. I believe in you and I don’t even need to see you, your worth is boundless, more value than the whole world, how powerful is that. Yup it’s in you. Remember. Hugs galore. Navajo Grandma
I want to make this woman a Natural Treasure! She is one reason I feel that Grandmothers need to hold positions of power. We lead with our hearts and don't want power...only peace and love. She is a leader. ❤❤❤
Oh my what a powerful statement of hozho. For hozho is filled with "peace, beauty, balance & harmony that all people who breathe do seek." Thank you, as we are all leaders within our own circles, communities and state, tribes or nations. We are the light to others and I pray we will remain this way and become brighter with the light of God, to be Saviors to all mankind. Now is the time to stand against evil trying to overshot our light individually and outwardly. Men's hearts are hardening, anger leads our ways, a kind word, a hand up is forgotten but selfishness reigns with Satan. May we stand with God, pray with great faith, give hope and a hand up. Give a hug, a smile but pray always for the poor, sick & lost and more so our enemies. May God help each of us to be the leaders we are. We weren't reserved for this time and day for nothing. God reserved those alive with power to stand against evil and you and I are His army. May we take our place. Amen. Hugs, Navajo Grandma
Please be my grandma. I just discovered your channel (saw a frybread video!). I have some Eastern Cherokee blood, and now that I'm in my 60's, feel an urging to learn more than just basics. I love this "smudging" and hope to incorporate into my daily prayers.
Yes, I am your grandma gee whiz. You are so cute to ask please. Thank you for subscribing and watching, learning as I need you to let me know I am still needed. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Ruth, yes, sweetheart, you should read a book called, He Walked The Americas, author: L. Taylor Hansen. This book consists of how the person took yrs to interview and to find this information from each tribe about Jesus Christ. My grandfather use to give the most beautiful powerful oral rendition of how the stories handed down about our people’s knowledge of the crucifixion of Christ in navajo. I miss it’s powerful message from my grandfather. It is so humbling, I know of one person still living who tells of this oral history. I have yet to interview him, record him, maybe not as detailed as my gpa’s but pretty close. Jesus Christ does live, I know this to be true as the sun rises and sets. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma Again I come to you! I was taught from birth about Christ. I loved him from the moment I understood in a way. Still do and alway's will! The day of the fire I knew I was going to die. I lay on the floor watching the smoke decend and talked to the fire 911 operator. I was not afraid! I remember telling him goodby. No fear, no panic, just calm peace! There were many miracles that day! Like a cordless phone that worked after the electricity popped off. They found it almost melted beside me and heard the 911 operator yelling at me to hold on, help was on the way! A fireman picked it up and said hello! The operator was very happy!!! Started to say so and the phone quit working. There was an advanced life support Ambulance less than three minutes away practicing with a fire department from across the river and they all came. My front door fell out of the wall because my German Shepherd gave his life trying to open it. He was never taught to do what he did! Like dragging me away from the flames. I have scars on my arm from his teeth. I hope they last forever! His name was/is Moose. There was a helicopter practicing advanced rescue techniques with the fire department and ambulance. The Dr. on duty was trained for fire and drowning injuries and death. No one else needed them so I got them all! Lifeflight was a new jet with advanced equipment and all the pilot's were combat trained. Three helicopters and one jet to get me across the state to a hospital that specializes in fire and drowning injuries. I woke up a week later as the Dr's were re-entubing (sp?) me and I bit one of them! Out went the light for another week. Hyperbaric treatments helped save me. But, I was told my Moosie was gone, along with pretty much everthing. I have a warrior Spirit and I'm not gone till God say's I am. Most of the time I can get along. But, I don't understand why. My lungs are a mess, still can't drive. I know one thing for sure, the devil is a liar! God has me here for a reason, He will tell me when the time is right! satan is in attack mode again. But I'm not afraid! God saved Daniel from the lion's den! And those faithful men from the furnace. Please don't ask me to spell their name's! I would love to know how God called you to this ministry! You ARE a healer! My mother said that gentleness and love were the strongest gifts God gave us! Looking forward to more video's. Sorry I talk too much! Thank you! A'HO 💚
@@marshamoore8385 I am so humbled by your experience. And look at you, strong, faithful, an example to all who sink in their worldly lives and you live. I send you my special hugs Marsha. You know words do truly hug right. You are prayed for day and night, thru out the day for blessing me, your grandma. You are an amazing soul and spirit. Dearest Moose will be there like my Chogo when we pass thru the veil of the spirit world. They remember us and feel our hearts and remembrances like our Ancestors do. What a life experience May God bless, heal and sanctify your life to heal others and humble others with your story. I salute your DIGNITY. Grandma loves you DEAR one. Hugs. Navajo Grandma. I am at awe right now still.
@shadowhawk22 Wow, but it finally found you! Pah Pah Pah!! Get that negativity out, out of our govenernment, out of our lives, invite faith, hope, goodness that you may know you matter, you are sacred & holy. You are truly a child of God. You are of Royal blood and remember your new lease on life! VOTE for freedom, our Constitution, our 2nd Amendment, our Country & the most beautiful flag representing our freedoms bought thru blood & sacrifice! This country trusts in God and not Communism the democrats decry to destroy a great Nation under God. Amen. Navajo Grandma
Your so right grandma out with the old in with the new I will smudge when the sun comes up that blessings and good vibes fill the air hearing what you teach heals my heart your words are like meadacine for my soul thank you bless you grandma
Hi Dear Will, yes, smudge with your hands, you don't need all the gadgets. These are positive affirmations you are giving yourself, but do use the hand motions as it does ruffle away the negative up and out. Read about it scientifically how amazing Native Americans knew things like this long before the white folks. It came from God. Amen. Hugs always, continue your journey, forgive yourself, love yourself, it starts within you then outward. Treat others how you want to be treated. Hugs always. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma and I forgot to add one thing I love how you said jesus walked with our people I learned something new do you have a story from the elders about it id love to listen to it
You are so welcome and yes you and all are so important as we continue living in this world. Although it is full of problems, normal and made up and the Communism encroaching, all need our attention, our prayers and for us to stand up for truth. We need to support what is truth and what is Godly, not the secular which brings Greed, Power and Control and it gets out of hand very very easily when a person or leaders become filthy selfish and they go down the road to the bottom pit and take many with them. May we remember to be strong, to stand for right like our CHIEFTANS did in days of old. They called for all Tribal Nations to stand together, it is time we do now. Their words ring strong and clear right now. Amen. Navajo Grandma
Hi there Tara & Sky, thank you for that wonderful comment of Hozho. You are so kind. I do pray that you will continue to realize that our need to clarify our physical and spiritual bodies, our senses, our spirit thru vital positivity. That we thru forgiving ourselves and being positive do heal ourselves, create longevity, goodness in health and well being, and know we do have a new lease on life as it should be in our hearts and minds at all times as we do what is best and good for ourselves and others. Sorry about that long sentence. Navajo Grandma sends her positive hugs and goodness. I hope you both have a place to spend Thanksgiving. If not, cook for each other and remember your blessings, pray always. Be blessed with family that you create even if it is only the both of you. Thankful hugs again. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma Thank you so much Navajo Grandma. 💖 Your words went right through my spirit and healed me. You are such a beautiful healer I truly feel Creator sent me here. I so honored and blessed you took precious time out of your day to respond to me. This made my day. Speaking of smudging to get rid of negative, I was wondering if you had an opinion on people with visions. I spent years as someone who used a Tarot deck of cards to help people with positive messages of healing. When I began to go back to my Christian faith, I gave it up as I did not want to offend Creator. Many people told me I helped them more than their doctor. My mother tells me that this is my gift from the Creator. I was wondering if you had any insight on this matter. Thank you Navajo Grandmother, I am so thankful that you are here on Earth.
@@TaraandSky First of all, Tarot cards although you used it for good is not what you should ever entertain again. Yes, the Creator does not approve. I once use to go get my readings and did that a few times and I learned through very sad experience that it was wrong. Never again after that. My opinion. Regarding visions, I don't know if you are seeing things or are you hearing or feeling things before they happen, not sure. I would rather call it being a gift given as your Mother explained to you. When used, our gifts can literally heal. It is a power of the Creator, some have it some don't. Some recognize it and some have no idea they have it as they are blind to goodness. Some hide it from themselves as they have experienced something tragic not realizing it is healing. So I suggest you treasure this gift of healing, it is powerful. We are all given certain gifts and we need to recognize them. Build upon those gifts and develop them. The world needs healers right now, the world needs direction thru holiness, to remember there is truly a Creator in charge, that all we have is not ours but His and our lives and all we have is borrowed. When we take our last breath we take nothing but relationships, our intellect, our gifts as treasures of eternity. You are empowered with gifts, develop them with prayer, be grateful and use with reverence and your power to heal will be needed in the days that are coming. And I promise you will be needed from the darkness and evil that is coming to try to destroy all that is good. Its like the Hobbit movies, the Jedi's and the Avengers. These are examples that I know you can understand. They each possessed gifts and used them and together they became strong. Teach others about their gifts and use yours always. You will discover how as you are prayerful. Never be afraid of your gifts. As you develop one then more will come. Lastly, you can ask for more gifts but only in reverence and with an honest heart that it will serve others and lastly serve you. I may have overly spoken but I think you will understand. Now go and use your gifts. Never be ashamed of them. Don't flaunt it either. Do not speak of it as evil will try to make you prideful, just don't speak of your gifts, only in your prayers. Use it wisely when you know you need to or can. I have many gifts, I just use them without telling others about them as they are reverent gifts. But powerful. Prayer empowers you even more. Remain prayerful. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Oh my dear ruben, may God bless you in all your new beginnings and forgiving yourself. None of us are perfect as you can see by my videos, they aren't Hollywood supreme, they are simple, genuine, from the heart and real. Just your grandma being a grandma to you. Thank you for whatever this video helped you with in your life. Remember, "paw, paw, paw," remove the negative, bring in the positive dear one. Hugs always. Navajo Grandma
Happy to teach Dine' smudging. Remember your new lease on life. Live, truly live, smile, forgive yourself, serve, surprise someone, if u smudged & let go of all negativity than enhance the positive daily. Pray always for clarity, be honest whom you will follow, research, there are the Holy Ones, then man. We all need clear thinking & understanding to not be led astray. Too many people walking away from truths for money, relationships that are awful, do not let your virtues & morals down. Live them. Be happy. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Hi Navajo grandma! Not sure if you’ll see this comment but thank you so so much for these videos I’m also Navajo but unfortunately the native traditions died with my great grandmother so I wasn’t taught anything. I’m the first in my family since my great grandmother to start my decolonization journey and become closer to my roots and you’re teaching me so much. Thank you ❤️
Norma G You are so sweet and thanks for teaching me how to smudg you said to forgive everyone but it's the hardest things to do specially if you're own blood mother was evil to you since in the womb and all you're life 😢😢 ..NORMA G WHEREVER YOU ARE, WHOEVER YOU ARE, I could not find you. Navajo Grandma loves you. I am so sorry about your blood mother and how she treated you and is treating you now. Sometimes, even as it hurts we pray for those who are hurting us, leave it to God. Go and find yourself and become amazing at something that will help you see that you are wonderful, that you matter and that you are needed. Like here with Navajo Grandma. Everyone here loves one another, we are here to say you are loved and we totally understand, and some won't be able to, but no matter, you mean a great deal Norma. G. I send my loving healing hugs to you. Grandma loves you. Know this. I had to put this here for you in hopes you read it. Love you tons. Navajo Grandma
You don't need to smudge, you already have amazing great energy that is sacred within you heart and soul. You need to be teaching us. Thru our trials we become Godly and you are. Humbled by your amazing comment. Love you. Navajo Grandma
I have a friend who is Cherokee and he's a part of the Western tribe. He gave me things to smudge with and basically told me what you've spoken about. I live in an apartment complex that used to be a Tuberculosis hospital that was turned into apartments in the 80s. So it definitely has spirits that are still lingering and have made their presence known. The first time I smudged there was soo much of a light feeling from before and it was a great feeling.
I love your name Grasshopper! Yikes did people die there and what a dumb question, probably but yes, I would smudge and allow everyone the joy of bringing forth the positive and getting rid of the negative. That might mean all those folks who had been lingering there. I would say they won't be hanging around now. This is a powerful tool for positivity and only what is negative will be removed. Enjoy and bask in the positivity of this smudging. Glad to hear you are doing this as it is a wonderful way to feel calm, see and feel the beauty, balance and harmony, Your body loves it and your spirit even more. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
@NavajoGrandma After I smudged the first time there was this strange feeling that felt very light. It was weird but nice at the same time. It's something that I will have to keep doing because I have had a few encounters inside the apartment and one right outside the apartment in the hallway. But as I mentioned, it was a hospital so I have to keep that in mind. I have often thought about smudging the hallway, but I don't want the neighbors to catch me and think I'm crazy. Lol
@@grasshopper25 You know what? I would do this during the night or when everyone has settled into their rooms or apartments. You can also say a prayer and cast out all evil spirits or spirits that do not belong in your home, room, that you command them to leave and not return. No matter whether this was a hospital or not. You have power over these spirits and command them to go to the light, or to be removed from your home. You can speak, "in the name of Jesus Christ, I command all evil spirits or spirits that do not belong in this home of mine, I command them to leave and not return that there is peace, beauty, balance and harmony put in their place. I speak this in and thru the name of Jesus Christ Amen." No matter where we go, gpa always uses prayer and commands all evil spirits or spirits that are not allowed in the hotel room we are sleeping in, that they are commanded to leave and not return that there is peace, safety, calm and goodness to fill the rooms. He commands this in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen. Prayer is so vital and it should always be your breathe. Pray in the hallways too so you don't always need to smudge there. This is your right to command evil from you or uninvited spirits. Wise counsel. Navajo Grandma
Whatta joy listening you!! I don’t understand why we as Americans don’t learn Native Americans language, we should speak Natives language. Natives value life, nature everything
Green Peace, there is wonderful correct principles in every society and Native tribes, its that few try to live them and few want to take the time to teach the beauty there is in our cultures. I have learned many good things from the white folks as many have learned from me. We all need to value ourselves and our teachings. Grandma is just sharing hers here and without you Navajo Grandma would not exist. See how important you are. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Thank you for sharing your, and your family’s wisdom. The story of your Grandfather praying in the morning dusk is beautiful, and wise. We need more of this respect in today’s age. Be well and again, thank you for this lesson. pah! pah! Pah! From here on out 🙏
Jesse Grandma loves you!! I love how receptive you are, as it brings me joy. Thank you for appreciating my Shi Nali my Paternal grandfather whom I look to as a great man who walked on water. He was a humble great leader in his community which he taugh
Continued sorry .. but what my grandfather taught was Godly, always humble and wise. And I hate to put my hat on science but that is a testimonial wherein, science found what we have known always as I was taught, we are made of Godly elements whereby energy source is in our every body part. When you ruffle with your hand you are ruffling your energy source within your body. You start at the torso ruffle upward and out your crown of your head. You also ruffle from your shoulder out thru your finger tips. Then from your torso down & out your feet. Best example: when running my several marathons as a single mother of 7 kids, running was great therapy, strength. Physical acuity needed for dealing as a single mom. So when in my 20th mile always toward the end the marathon heads would always add a hill at the 6th mile & 20th mile. Some in between those but not as steep. So steep, a grinding steep on the 20th mile. You start to feel a bit of energy wane so they have water stands, you never drink or swallow but rinse your mouth cuz you can feel dried out and that water splash also on your body helps. At two points you feel a little less energy. That is when I would smudge with my hands torso up, out my shoulder to my fingers and waist down & out. This was better than a cup of water, this smudge would clear any lack, waning, or aching, if that happens, all of a sudden a burst of energy comes, a calm calm energy that helps you have even breathing, it creates a calm power packed energy all over your body. Like you sat down for a bit & got up ready to go. I also learned to breathe calmly, so the hills became my energy booster, downhill was a sweet breeze, running in at the end people fell. Which is bad, you never stop. It actually tears your heart coverings & muscles thus some drop dead. You have to walk it out. Another smudge moments and as u walk it out your body calms naturally without internal tears or pain. You have great power given you to restore yourself, your body. Simple energy work, drinking water, having pure thoughts, controlled thoughts to lift you. Thus it is powerful and empowers you. It also takes faith & humility. Do you see the virtues we were taught by our ancestors while you may believe we struggled, what was painful economically, due to poverty, government taking what they willed, cheating our people we were taught virtues to survive and I still do. I smudge still for well being, emotionally, spiritually & more. As you calm your thoughts and self doing this. It is a prayer against evil that comes into our bodies, our psychi & some we invite. It's so much about life and energy. Hope this lesson has a small impact at how I was taught. Navajo Grandma
I pray it is good. Remember to pray to present and address the needs of your class as you never know whom you can influence for good, or that needs to hear what you have to say. Even your Professor or teacher, they need it too. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Anna, smudging is also one blessing we have that will not change and can only be the best for our body, spirit and soul. That includes our intellect and all around us. Love you always too. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma Thank you so much for sharing. My great grandma was an orphan, taken from her people and raised in a mission in New Mexico. She was worked as a maid by the missionaries her whole life ... even in some historical texts are her photos where she has very short hair and wearing an apron and very old fashioned looking boots..until she was 16 or 18 old enough to leave. She made a best friend there who was her life time sister and they always lived next door to each other wherever they went ( the two girls bonded but must have been so scared at times). My grandmother did some blessings too that her mother tried to remember but I did not remember all the specifics. Thank you for sharing ❤️🙏much love and gratitude ❤️ I watch all your videos. God Bless you👼
@@annapacheco2842 What an honorable great grandmother. Make sure you keep those records, pictures and information so that when you go thru your trials you can read, look at and be strengthened. What an honor that you have this information. There is a great purpose for you to have this information. You are a choice soul and spirit. Remain as strong as your great grandmother and know you are needed, your are wonderful and you are loved. Loved greater by no one but by your great grandmother who is watching over you. She had this given to you because she knows your heart. She loves you more than you know. Remember this. Hugs with honor. Navajo Grandma
Thank you so much grandma! Your words of wisdom are always empowering. Creator is good!!! Yes, we are blessed to be here and walking this Earth. Everyday is a gift! Have a beautiful day and may your family keep bringing happiness to others. Have a great New Year 🥳 🎉
Again, Montana D what a beautiful name, well chosen. Paw paw paw, you too need to breathe in all the good vibrations of your life no matter where life takes you. Remain blessed, forgive, forget, now let’s move forward stronger together. Come with me. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Well George, if you don't have anything, use your hands and smudge away. It is scientifically proven that we ruffle our energy and it does work. Hugs to you. Navajo Grandma
I was feeling very angry and sad the other day... :( I don’t know why, most likely the stresses of life. I smudged myself and recited a prayer 3 times and afterwords I was so exhausted and felt calm. My right ear started to ring loud for a little while... it was weird. But then my anger started to ease away. I’ve been searching for spiritual enlightenment and help. Thank you for this video/ lesson it’s going to help me with my journey. Please continue to teach us. 💕
Hi pretty girl, I have felt just like that at times too. I am very proud of you though you felt down, you continued to smudge yourself, which is truly an extension of prayer my dear granddaughter. You know you are my granddaughter right, every one who has subscribed is my grandchild. So, from Grandma, think over the stresses because they are real, as you grow older, with greater understanding, the world could blow up and you will understand and still smile. Honest, I have to tell you, time does heal and makes us wiser. Its true. I am an A type of personality, and drove myself nuts. Now, I am calm as a breeze in the warm sunshine. Hormones don't help either. I became a witch from hell, sorry to use that honest word, when I went thru my change of life for 2 solid years. How I made it thru, heaven help us. But as life is for women, we are emotional, we want good in our lives, we would like our family, spouses, children to be human, kind and tender, forgiving, but guess what? You let it go. Paw Paw Paw. Or you will drive yourself nuts. I now say, "stop trying to change the world, start with yourself and oh my gosh, it works." I don't mean you let the house, work, and family go to you know where. You need to be first, be kind to yourself, if someone treats you wrong, say la vee right? Its their problem not yours sweetheart. I don't know what you are going through, it comes and goes. But most of all, be kind to yourself, love yourself, raise yourself above the fray, talk kind to yourself and its amazing how you will see the world, people, family. They may become idiots, but you can tell them, "your my idiots and I love you." "I really do." Its not easy but doable sweetheart. I send you my hugs and prayers that you will go thru all this with wisdom, loving who? "yourself." You matter most to you. Then the rest of the world, how else can you strengthen the world without strengthening yourself first. Love you. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Thank you Cobra… I so appreciate your being receptive. It reveals your inner spiritual trait and strength. There is indeed power within our bodies made of energy that we can ruffle upward and outward to release negative energy then allowing its replacement of positive or negative ions for heal, peace, balance and harmony. Scientists have proven we are made of elements of positive energy and positive vibrations. Native American ancestors we way ahead of these scientists regarding this self empowerment. Practice and use this instead of pills. It’s my medicine. Happy thoughts. Navajo Grandma
In tears!!! But God is good always! ❤ Suffering sad & remembering so much I wish I could forget. I choose to forgive. From when I fist understood words, from my mother, they were cruel words given with a smile and I suffered without anyone knowing it. My kids and I cared for her through cancer 5 years ago & she was still cruel, but no one around us ever knew. I have times still today where I weep and cry out, I have never heard loving or teaching words from her, but only from my grandma. I miss my grandma so much!! Thank you for this video! I will do this and believe. I love Jesus so much ❤ this made me smile (& cry good tears) today. I love you, I appreciate you!!
Terribelle3, what a moving comment you sent to me. I was saddened for you as I too have gone thru stuff like this with my ex husband, my children and people in my church. They do not care to be kind only to those they want, yet in the same token they expect you the one who serves them and the one they stomp on to serve them as if it is our duty. Yet we with kind hearts still serve with love thru the mess. It has affected me thru the years myself, but I am still learning to let it run off like water off a duck's back. Easy to say right? I know. I pray you will watch this video time and time again. You need someone to be on your side and love and give you healing hugs. If I was there I would. I totally understand those painful tears now and then. Next, the part of the smudging is to again release the negativity and say this as you release the negative energy thru the crown of your head say this: "I happily & permanently release all unkind words of hate of any kind from any person. It has no place within me, as I am kind, loving, I have a happy heart, a kind loving heart, I can only find and see and feel goodness for myself and others. Also I forgive myself for paying heed to this negativity which I shall no longer allow within my loving spirit and soul. I desire to be happy, loving, kind and serving. As I do so I shall partake of the bounty of God's plan for me and I shall walk, run and not faint and the angel of death shall pass me by. I shall live with love, tenderness and prayer with gratitude for my Savior Jesus Christ for continually healing me. Amen pah pah pah. Find joy in your loving heart and good soul. You deserve to be happy and loved with kindness. Hugs always from Navajo Grandma. Pray always for peace, beauty, balance and harmony!! This is called Hozho in the Dine' way of life. Love you. Navajo Grandma
Now that is a great responsibility. But grandma is willing to accept it as without any of you who are grandma's youtube family, "I would not exist," thus how important are you?? Hmmm let me count the ways. Navajo Grandma
Thank you for sharing all the information you share, not only for this generation but for the future generations. It brought me to tears a bit when you mentioned about being a single mom. I myself am a single mom. Sending hugs.
Dearest Melissa, bless your heart and your energy and your Will and mind. It isn't easy, but when the children are grown, and they are gone, you will look back and see, you did the best for them. Love them, support them by letting them know how much you care and protect them. The blessings come in a circle right back at you. Hold them close, they need this and so do you. Sending my strength, and huge hugs to you. As those are the shoes I once walked in and glad its over, but what strength, wisdom and knowledge I learned about myself, it takes a strong woman, not a mouse. What does that say about you? Love you. Navajo Grandma
My eyes are burning🔥 listening to you it's making water come out💚✌️🕊️🕊️🦋🦋🌏🦘👣👣👣🌻🌻🌹🌺🦘🌻🌻🌻🦋🦋🦋🦋💥🤍🕊️🕊️👣👣👣👣🌵look up the symbolic meaning of 🌵 cactus..cos your this 🌵 🫧 🌵 xxxx👣🦘🦘🤍💥
You are wonderful and I thought I had answered you already but again, here goes. I so appreciate your heart and who you are. I love reading your expressions of water and what are tears? This is a new year with a New Lease on life and how we are at the helm of our own ship and decide what comes into our lives good or evil. Let's see, hmmm I do believe we want GOODNESS right? Then come on and let's go and have an amazing year!! Love you so. Navajo Grandma
Hi there Caliboy, thank you for subscribing and most have said the same thing. "I don't know how I found you but I am staying." LOL! I love the way the good of the earth surrounds us and makes it look like it just happened. But things do happen for a reason. This video for one as you may need to let go of your negativity as you are probably one of the great leaders that is needed to bring back the values, the goodness of God and political sanity, the nationalism lost, the spirit of America and so forth. Here as you smudge you learn that you have to let go of negativity, to clear your shakra as they say, that you may open your heart and spirit to what is true not the lies paraded before us now. We do need to stand up to what is right and it does still exist. Not long from now there will be more turmoil than you will have ever seen and the end of days are near. We need to prepare. It doesn't sound fun but we need to be right mentally, psychologically, spiritually, physically and emotionally etc. You start by forgiving yourself, valuing yourself so you may value others. Whether you believe in God or not, He does live, He does exist and He also does have a son called Jesus Christ and there is also the spiritual aspect called the Holy Ghost who is a divine spirit who does bear witness to you and all you desire that is of all truth only. Anytime you want to know if what you heard, saw or read is true, you ask God. He will answer you. So Navajo Grandma is not a Christian, only in the ways of the white folks. But we as a Navajo (Dine') people and in our family line we were taught all that the Christians preach. We knew these things long before we came here. You might or might not know where Chaco Canyon is, well that is where my Nali (Paternal Gpa) would always stop us in the wagon and he would turn and say, there is where the son of God stood and blessed, raised the dead, taught goodness and what medicines we should use when he no longer was with us to heal ourselves thru the natural plants etc. He spoke this is Dine' Bizaad which is the Navajo language. This is our oral history and again, no one dares to bring this out and I am. This is the real history of our people from whence we came across the great waters in the East. We never came thru the Bering Strait. Its all hooey. When they say "those who win the wars are the ones who write the history," this is true. They have the power and control. So be careful what you hear, see and read. Like Grandma said, pray about it and ask God if what you see, hear and read is true. You will get an answer. You will feel it and know it. This is for all things. Like marriage, the person you are with, what you do and where you go. Is it good. Is it right is it what is meant for you. If not then you will find the Hozho Grandma explains which is: "peace, beauty, balance and harmony," which is what all Navajo's have sought for when ill, when going astray and usually they get the Medicine man to do this ritual for them to bring them back into harmony. Which, of course, depends upon us as well. There is a lot to learn but if you do not agree, I say go find what fits you and live it with honesty. Again otherwise grandma always prays for you and welcomes you with open arms. There is never no one like our Grandma's. They are deadly honest and full of forgiveness and love. Their smile always wakes us up to knowing we are loved and needed. I hope you value your grandmother and take the time to sit and listen to her wisdom. Hugs always from Navajo Grandma
Hello Navajo Grandmother, I agree with what you posted. I ask our Creator God for guidance everyday because I need it and there is no other way. I believe in his son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. There are definitely signs of times happening now. I know “Truth” when I hear it. If it resonates with my "being", I accept it, if not I don’t. What you posted is the Truth and I appreciate hearing it very much. I was a grandma’s boy and I was probably her favorite. I say this because as adults my cousins don’t share the same stories of our grandmother as I. I happen to have a good memory. I remember them running through her garden as I was watering it when they came from out of town (big City) to visit. It was disrespectful trampling grandma’s garden, she worked hard in it, so I did let my grandmother know, and they got a scolding. I was helpful, obedient, respectful and loving to her. She was “Love” to me. Since childhood I have always been drawn to elders that speak wisdom, love and light and I still am. My grandmother was a healer and she healed both animals and humans when sick or injured. I remember many times family members and people from the small town would go to her when they were ill or having life’s issues (mental) grandma always knew what to say, she prepared some type of healing drink in the form of a herbal tea and would massage the anxiety, sadness or pain they were experiencing away. Of course, I didn’t understand what was happening at the time. I was too little but as I grew older, I understood. My grandmother is no longer here on earth with us, but I know she watches over me. I know one day we will all be reunited again. Certain things, sounds, scents, reminds me of my wonderful grandmother and can instantly bring me back in time. Now, I prepare certain foods from scratch that she made and I learned to CAN preserves like she did. I keep certain traditions alive and it gives me joy, because I do it in her honor. Thank you for taking the time to teach those of us who want to learn from you. I appreciate you.

Reaper AP thank you for watching and appreciating just how grandma feels about her Navajo Grandma family. Paw paw paw, get that yulk outta your life and smile, clear your mind, your soul and spirit. We all need a new lease on life and that is what we give ourselves daily. We matter so much in this life we just need to hug ourselves sometimes and get hugs too to make it thru daily. So here is a healing hug, a happy hug, and a hug of strength to move forward to free yourself of what you don't want and what you have always desired that is good. Love you. Navajo Grandma
One day when you are ready I would like to hear your Reaper name history. If that is what we are referring to here. Grandma appreciates your thoughts and thank you for wishing me a good weekend, holiday etc and etc and etc. Hugs to you always. Navajo Grandma
Marcey thank you for taking the time to watch this video. Keep those affirmations up and remain strong and wonderful as you are. Hugs always. Navajo Grandma
Ahhhhhh yes dear grandma!!! The cedar, our kin. I immediately thought of one of my absolute favorite songs. Annie Humphrey- "Winter mornings, coffee, and cedar smoke". It is part of my youtube playlist. Have you heard it? It is a magnificent generational anthem in my opinion. Explains everything we feel in a song during smudge. How we pray for our children how we want them to remember most the smell of our cedar prayers in the air as we remembered our mothers prayers.🌿❤ thank you so much for your teachings and all your love. I am a loving warrior of christ also. We are his hidden ones, his chosen. Thank you for your prayers and wisdom so much. I observe hebrew new year in March and send you all my love and blessings to you and your family. You are a jewel and a daughter of Zion.
Ebony, you are one I would reach out to, cup your beautiful face in gma’s hands, bless you, pray with you, celebrate deity with you because you are so genuine in spirit. May you remain even more amazing, paw paw paw, let in and breathe in all the good vibrations of this blessed life we have. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
You bet and I know He loves me. The past is gone, that is why we continue making positives out of negatives, and praying and making positive affirmations with smudging. Awesome healing. Paw Paw Paw. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Yes the past is gone sad this government cannot own up to their wrong doings. Too many treaties broken. I will stay positive and listen to your wisdom.
Thank you Dine' grandma 😽 A cousin of mine taught me how to smudge using the light (she's what one would call a "lightworker" I suppose) but I want to add your teaching to it as well. It's a good way of grounding yourself before you start with everything else. You are a beautiful soul and I feel blessed to find you. Love you! 💕
Chihiro Sen, I swear your name sounds Nihonjin. Thank you for accepting the smudging and clarifying your body and soul. We just don't do it enough to include in our well being. Hugs to you. Aishite Imasu. Navajo Grandma
Linda, what wonderful words and that it does add a new dimension to your smudging. This is the Dine' (Navajo) way of smudging. It was the Medicine man who used a feathered fan, eagle feather fan, during a ritual to smudge the ill person. Mainly ours was to use our hands and it has always been like that and using what was in our environment. Thank you for understanding. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
We need to drench ourselves in self empowerment, self love and self acceptance, then giving that out as a gift to all. Yes indeed the world is going to get worse, we need to prepare and survive. That is why this year's theme is Survival. Its every facet of our personal lives and with our family and friends, neighbors, strangers on and on. We need to give hope and have hope in order to give it out. So much starts with ourselves and blaming belongs no where. Hugs and loves from Navajo Grandma. Great comment!!! Love it.
Will stay strong and carry that message forward grandma! One thing I’d add to it would be to make sure that the self love is genuine. A lot of us aren’t really honest with ourselves because it’s easier to say the problem doesn’t matter than put in the work to fix it, resulting in pain and sometimes self-hatred
@@jessepinkmeng1556 Jesse you hit the nail on the head. But lets not be foolish and pretend, let us truly put on the armor of God, be real, stand up to your failure, our enemies be it psychological, spiritual, secular or whatever, we can succeed in being "honest," with ourselves and with God. We can't hide nothing from Him. I love that. He knows me thru and thru. He still blesses me when I am less than I am, but I get up again and move onward. You gave such a wonderful comment and the reality we need to hear. Love and hugs to you. May we forgive ourselves first then move on. Right? Not easy but can be done. I know. Hugs always. Navajo Grandma
Thank you Grandma I needed to hear your words. bringing back the inner peace and confidence that my illness has shaken loose from me. May you walk in beauty . Peace
Love your name, remain strong, pray always, God hears your prayers, remain steadfast that you will heal and live. Grandma almost died, and without my own strength, prayers, faith, and knowing I would heal, I would not be here. Yes, walk in Hozho and Ke'. Love yourself, stand and walk, be strong and while doing so, bless your body, your legs, your heart and immune system, bless any medicinal things you are taking to be sanctified to your body to heal you. Never give up. Grandma prays for each and everyone of you daily, nightly, for only God knows your specific needs and grandma opens that door for Him to help you. Hugs always. Navajo Grandma
Melissa I read this with such happiness. You are just a wonderful soul to do this. Such a wonderful protection and opening for goodness and success!!! Hugs. Navajo Grandma
I love you so much!!!! I left home 6 years ago. And I was raised just like this. Early mornings with my nalis. And cheii!!!!chemistry!!!!! Shi MA Shani. 🙏🏾 I bought some ceder and I moved into a new home. I was fired from a job. I was blessed with a home but loss my job!! But I still get up early in the AM, & pray. Thank you so much!!! 💓 A'he'hee!!!
Goodness and you are wonderful to be praying every morning and remaining strong as your Nali and Chei did. Great DNA who taught you all that you would need during trying times like this. Grandma will pray for you and your prosperity. Remember God knows your situation and i hope you will find hope in that and ask for help from Him and tell him you have faith in Him. He knows. Love you and have courage and await your wonderful blessings. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
My next videos will involve defining myself, a sober one, then excitedly moving towards Grandma shearing a sheep for you all. This is an opener with videos on the weaving loom, rugs, carding and spinning dowel with weaving accessories. Its getting exciting to learn more about Dine' textile. Please watch and learn. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
@benjeanettebooth1800 SO happy to hear. I hope you take your new lease on life seriously. Start again with a clean slate, having forgiven yourself & others and knowing you matter, you are needed and wanted. You are a child of God so much is expected to the person to whom much is given. Pray always. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
Thank you beautiful Grandma. We had such hard times when I was a child... Raised by a single mother and my grandmother who was taking care of all of us on her own through her illness. It was so hard but the blessings were so big. The love was so big. Those days have made us strong and I feel so grateful because like your daughter said... I appreciate everything now. Thank you so much for your beautiful energy and beautiful kindness and sharing. I lost my grandmother in 2005 ... She was my best friend...and listening to this brings joy and comfort. Thank you beautiful woman... You are a gem. Many blessings to you and your family🤍🕊️
I can tell by listening to you that you did endure with learning, love and appreciation because how else can you show that to Navajo Grandma unless you do appreciate, love and learn. Hugs to you. Paw, paw, paw at the past to never repeat it but to move forward with positivity. Love you. Navajo Grandma
Thank you for this beautiful video/channel you made! I clicked on this video for other perspectives on sage🙏🏽😇💕 I’m glad I’m not the only native that believes in Christ and is able to be one with source! My family (Zuni) shunned me once for believing in Christ and I was homeless, nobody to talk to about how Christ is helping me. But I was able to find my inner self 💖 now I’m able to actually speak & listen to my ancestors / Christ, I am a shaman ❤️🥰 I had to learn everything on my own through experience. I am glad you have this channel to teach other’s to love & be with spirit 😇🙏🏽 keep up the great work ✨ Namaste 🙏🏽
Hi Jaz, boy you have been on a life’s journey. You must be quite the soul and spirit chosen to heal and bless others. Interesting. Gma has been cussed out by native Americans for my belief in Christ. Sad their grandparents never taught them how our native American ancestors walked and talked with Christ. We knew of Him long before any boats or Christians set foot here on this land. Thus those who holler that I entertain colonialism shows their lack of personal ancestral knowledge. Thank you for your wonderful comment and your testimony and faith in our Savior and Redeemer. This faith and knowledge sets you apart from the world. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
Yes, it has been quite a journey I can tell you that! Lol. Still a long journey. I’m sorry you were yelled at, nobody should ever be treated in a harsh manner. I’m glad u got through it ❤️ we are both strong women with our battle suits and will keep fighting for Christ! 💪🏽 thank you once again for your love grandma, as we say in Zuni (wó wó) 🤗💕 many hugs & blessings to you & your family! 🙏🏽✨Namaste 🥰
@@jazdelamor KESHHI, Grandma loves you Jaz. I guess I didn’t tell you, my paternal grandfather (my NALI) married a Zuni, thus my Dine’ clan is Naashte’zhi which means Zuni. She was my Bizhi who died when my dad was 2 years old in 1920’s. Gpa (NALI) remarried to a Dine’ woman my Bizhi whom raised me and is my heart. Just an fyi. I was there at Zuni when the old pueblos were still intact, just like Taos Pueblo, Jemez Pueblo use to be. No more. I am grateful that my eyes saw or have seen when the pueblos were still the way they were anciently. Beautiful in their regalia on a daily basis, speaking their language, singing, keeping with traditions that were treated as holy as they were meant to be. I ran thru the streets and played with other Zuni children, so fun as well as in Jemez Pueblo and Taos Pueblo as they once were. I long for those days when feast days wasn’t just eating, it was the kind acts of giving to all and strangers who came to participate. It was a form of family you found and those days are now long gone. Now, Pueblos chase you out and yell at you if you walk their streets, throw their dish water or bucket of water thrown on strangers, nasty words said in English, even when you buy their wares. It never was like that. Maybe in my innocence I saw and believed that kindness would always remain. As back then the pueblos knew my NALI & Bizhi for her weaving & trading. We were always welcomed in Zuni as my fathers mother came from there, now folks shun you to talk to you. It’s just gone. I have always treated these pueblos with love, I have gone to the homes of the posterity of those gone brought meat, fruit, corn as the corn fields are small now and only for their families, I bring chili, fruits that are beautifully grown by true growers that are not riddled with chemicals. Yet they laugh at me when I tell them of their grandparents who were welcoming n traded with my NALI. They take it and stare at me as if I am stupid for doing this kindness. Once I asked if I could purchase an oven bread in remembrance of when I was a child, how wonderful it tasted, I was told, “this is for our family, we do not sell it” as they have the pile of food I reverenced to give them in front of them. I left and wept in the car. I do not go there anymore. We drive thru I tell gpa about where I use to play as we drive thru all these pueblos and leave the pueblos to themselves. How utterly sad. I miss the old days. They say toward the end of time before our Savior returns many hearts will become hardened and cold and I see that in the present horrible Biden Government in my Navajo Nation and abroad thru out the lands and other countries. But thru it all I seek to be a good woman filled with the love and giving with kindness as I was shown by our ancestors, grandparents of old in the pueblos and eastern Navajo Agency in NM. We need to be a kind representative for and of Christ as our grandparents were. So long of a response but I am sure you understand unlike most. Hugs always from Navajo Grandma…Ahehee. Elahkwa.
Honestly, it's your love, your spirit that you have within you. You are recognizing this because it's not Navajo Gra6. It is you. You are recognizing yourself. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Thank you for sharing your wisdom and guidance with us Grandma. I wish you and your family a very beautiful, prosperous, and fruitful 2021. May all the blessings the Creator has to give be sent to you.
You are welcome my darling granddaughter. Happy you are watching grandma's videos. Remember you are made of sacred energy. You have the power to ruffle that energy toward healing or negativity. It is also a blessing that you can energize yourself instead of drinking caffeine or things not good for your body. I love the options we have to care for our emotional, psychological, spiritual well being thru energy. Happy healing hugs. Navajo Grandma
I needed to hear this today, thank you so much. I'm a daughter who's taking care of her mother the roles have reversed and I am honored to be doing it. Thank you Grandma. ✨
Grandma loves you for giving service to your mother. Mothers tend to our every need as a child or we really wouldn't be alive. Later in life the roles do reverse and that is when it at times can be challenging as some mothers are set in their ways, honoree, but you have to see why as they are use to being themselves, alone, and all we do is to give unconditional love, listen, remain hopeful to them with also dressing them, or whatnot. Not an easy role but you will remember this as a blessing when your mother decides its time to move on and passes away. Smudge with strength, prayer, understanding, health, wisdom, patience, etc. Love you. Navajo Grandma
Thank you for your channel. I am Métis Cree and lately have been struggling so much to find balance between traditions/ceremonies and the teachings of the church. My family is Catholic and I have struggled for years with the role Jesus and the Christian God played in the history of First Nations people, I just added the book you recommended to my shopping cart. Thank you for your recommendation I hope it clarifies things for me!
He did walk among us. I have been baptized into a church, but I do believe since we haven't been able to go to church, My testimony of Jesus Christ became my total foundation, not the church building and the people who go there in clicks and snub each other because one has more than the other. It happens in my church all the time. I was always puzzled, hey didn't you teach about Christ on Sunday, why do you think I am a scab now because I am Native? Never understood, but thanks for the pandemic, I realized it is Christ who we worship, not the churches, not the leaders, but Christ as He is literally the son of God. Remember also, there are Bishops, and teachers in the gospel, remember this, no matter how high of a calling they have, know this: "we will not hold any position even if we were the President of the USA, A Prime Minister, the Cardinal, "we will be judged as individuals, as sons and daughters of God, our titles will be nothing when we pass through the veil into the spirit world and when we stand before God." So as pompous as those are who have great callings in churches, boy do they have it coming if they are not living up to their callings that supposedly is to bless the sick and afflicted, help the needy, the homeless, etc. Most people become prideful and disgusting not the leaders they are suppose to be. Sorry, my church is full of these. I haven't gone to church for 4 to 5 months and have never had a greater testimony of Jesus Christ than ever before and even more. I read the scriptures, I pray, I serve my community, I love my family, make amends, repent, and follow Jesus Christ and I do what He did to the best of my ability. For this I love the Pandemic. It defined for me whom we all worship, Jesus Christ the son of God. How absolutely wonderful. Hooray for the pandemic in that sense. While everyone is running back to church, buying new clothes to look better in front of their neighbors, to back bite, to pretend they are saints, etc., I am happily home with my Savior and closer to Him than ever. Now if I know I am needed for some reason to be at church, or to go to the Temple, I will. But not to wear my shiny shoes and look better than others. Sorry, that is all I saw. Sick. But true. I love my Savior, Jesus Christ, I so look forward to seeing him again during the Second Coming. He did walk among us and he taught us how to use nature to bless and heal us and for sustenance. My grandfather taught this to me as his ancestors knew of the 12 apostles and they have Dine' names for them, they describe the crucifixion to the T and and know where our ancestors came from and how they came to this Turtle Island. I know these things I learned from my ancestors to be true, I can not ever deny it. I know Jesus Christ is my Savior, He is the son of God, the Holy Ghost bears witness of all truth to us. They are so important. It is through them we all shall have eternal life. Truly. Amen. My hugs and love to you as you come to yourself. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma Thank you for your reply, very beautiful and poetically spoken. Yes, the hypocrites in most churches definitely deter me from attending i just worship on my own terms.. I thank you for your wisdom and kindness
Daniel it is appreciated what you commented, but here my subscribers wanted me to address smudging. What you are speaking of is Hozho. The pathway of "peace, beauty, balance & harmony." This is what you are describing and perfect in walking barefoot on Mother Earth, feeling, sensing, surrendering oneself to the peace and beauty of nature and this does bring balance & harmony to the spirit and body. You got it spot on. Thank you. Navajo Grandma
Beautiful, calming and spiritual! I've been doing kinda wrong,there is so much misinformation about smudging/not all "new age,witchy shops are created equally-im white European woman🙉 Thank you,bless you. Love to you all 💗
Thank you for watching and I pray you realize how important it is to ruffle away all negativity from within and out. Scientists have come to realize this is true. So bring on positivity and joy and a bring new lease in life for you. Enjoy your beginning of the rest of your life. Smile and be amazing as you are. Navajo Grandma
You remind me so much of my grandmother she was wise and beautiful like you. I didn’t grow up knowing much of native heritage but have always been deeply drawn to it. Thank you for sharing you have a new subscriber here.
Hi Colored Caboose, welcome and welcome again, a new grandchild! Continue to watch, learn and enjoy. I tell everyone it doesn't need to be your culture, we are all ready to learn and increase our circle of knowledge and should be. Thank you for subscribing. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
i feel you. i know the struggles you went through. my mother trying to raise five boys alone on welfare. with little to no food and the end of the month. the hand downs of clothes. the appreciation does grow on you. your whole vid made me feel more grateful and a piece of home.with much blessings, E.
Smudging does work and it is a way of moving our energy in ways to strengthen us and to purify the air with the juniper and smoke, it also teaches us that we can re energize our bodies thru movement of our own energy. We are made of energy and Godly energy. Our hands were created to be used to give upward movements of our hands to move bad energy away from our bodies. We Navajo people say pah pah pah as a way of saying move away and leave and welcoming in the goodness. I am so happy you watched this video. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
Thank you for your videos. This speaks to my soul. I love the practice of smudging, and Christ surely did walk among the people of this land. That’s not a story heard much these days. I appreciate your messages and teachings so much. Ahéhee’
Thank you my dear Seth, Grandma appreciates your faith, your spirit, understanding of Christ and what your comment said to my heart. I am happy to read your comment filled with Hozho. So very few speak in such a way too. Hugs always. Navajo Grandma
Hello all the way over to New Zealand!! I want to say something but I am probably going to say it wrong. So I am hollering and waving hello and that Navajo Grandma loves you and sending her love thru the air. LOL!! Thank you for watching and remember, paw paw paw, let it go, let all the negative leave and bring in the new, remember you new lease on life, forgive yourselves and pray always. So much life to live. Grandma loves you and remember you are needed and loved here. Hugs of aloha, kia ora, talofa and all the poly-fa's there. I blew it I know it. So ahehee from the Southwest. Hugs galore, Navajo Grandma
Thank you so much. I wanted to simply smudge my home and negative thoughts and memories. I now feel an abundance of appreciation of my situation that it's not all hopeless and that I'm loved. Thank you Xie Xie beautiful women ❤
Well Chris, yes, even if you didn't smudge, you can still created the energy of goodness, healing with faith, you can move your energy that you are made of and bring positive vibrations to fill within you and throughout your home. Pray always, that in itself is self empowering and do not forget this. Prayer with faith creates miracles that have not ceased. I know you can. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
I wish I could sit next to you and learn. This is the next best thing. Thank you very much. I am teaching my daughter the words. I plan to pass down this knowledge to my daughter and my nieces. My grandmother taught us a little bit and now your videos are such a blessing to us. Thank you
Welcome Aubrie, you are sitting next to me, as it were, Grandma is teaching you the skills to be strong in character, in spirit and to release the negative and find the happiness and peace we all desire. Thank you for watching my granddaughter. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma thank you I have not forgot about talking to u about finding out more about my Navajo and Acoma ancestry . been having kidney problem since 17th of Dec happens ever now and then.. On a income like everyone these days have a blessed week
I sat down to milk my goats and listen to a video on Smudging. My oldest daughter would like to help me smudge, something I do often, and I wanted to learn more to teach her more. Now I am sitting here releasing so much I didn’t know How to let go of. I do not have much in the way of extended family but have always felt connected to my ancestors. This video filled me with many emotions. I cannot wait to share this with my children. I have 6 of them. we may not have much but we have so much with a little bit extra. We are so blessed. This video has truly made me feel like I will be ok. That I can heal the places in my soul that need it. I release it all. I love you. Thank you, grandma.
What a beautiful comment of releasing the old, the things that keep us down, realizing it, then letting it go. I like you didn't have much either and lately with this pandemic it feels like I am going thru it all again. We were doing so well before and now things are not the same but as we go through the days, thru prayer, thru releasing junk that use to reside within us, that we lighten our load, clear our minds, we gain hope and faith and a desire to be what we so desire and know that we can have success. Maybe not the success in many ways as the world sees it, but within our hearts, our spirit our homes, our individual selves, and a more positive outlook can get you through the days. It should have helped you make a garden, to toil in the soil with joy knowing the seeds germinate and mature then the wonderful fruit you will sow. There is joy is renewing yourself daily with a positive outlook even when you might not have enough, but what you do have you will realize is enough. We are God's children, how would he allow you to go hungry. It is said in Psalms that David speaks this, "I have lived a long life but never in this life have I ever seen a righteous man go hungry." Righteous meaning a humble heart, a kind heart, a forgiving heart, a heart and soul that gives God all power over his or her life and see the miracles of life, the joy and goodness in simplicity, not as the world sees it or knows it but what the spirit knows and gives within our individual selves our individual hearts. Life is good. Even in darkness there is goodness as you become the light and in the light you become the miracle worker lifting and blessing and loving, serving. Life is good. Keep this thought as you continue in this life. Pray always for safety, from sickness and ills, from negativity, empower yourselves with smudging, pure affirmations that is perfect for you individually. Know yourself and treat yourself kindly that it may become an extension to give out for those who need hope and love and service. On and on. Life is good. Hugs and love from Navajo grandma
@@NavajoGrandma my father learned much from his mentor, Eugene B Joe, a sand painting artist from the reservation. My father ended up going down a dark drug filled path I could not follow. But he did teach my some of the old traditions. I have always longed to know more,to be able to utilize the traditional ways and teaching in my everyday and learn pass it on to my children. finding all this wisdom from Navajo grandmas and grandpas has been helping me to heal. To be a better mother and human. I do not want the western medicines way of covering the trauma with a bandaid if you will. I would love the help and guidance of a healer. I never expected to find it on TH-cam. What an amazing world we live in. Your words of wisdom are very important to me. I am listening. The time you took to respond to me is so appreciated. Thank you, Navajo grandma.
@@hoopnfarm This again is a wonderful comment that brings me joy. When you are ready for change and finally wake up to yourself, now remember few do, that you can move forward, first yourself before you can go beyond that. Clean your own yard first then help others along t he way. This is so important and forgiving yourself is huge in this process. No blame just forgive and accept it in your spirit and soul. When that happens you begin to understand the value of others. As you find how amazing and how precious and how important you are as an individual. That is the epic part of life. Then you value yourself and value others because you again value yourself. How cool is that God given process. I love it. I always say, do not make it hard. Keep it simple. Hugs always from Navajo Grandma
Thank you Diné Grandma for all your positive energy ❤️🌞 I was thinking about what you said regarding Jesus , and all tribes speaking of him , in the Mexica culture we called him Quetzalcoatl (feathered serpent ) He taught our people about art , Culture , language , among many other things. I have also learned that this term was given to an individual(man/woman ) who possessed the highest of knowledge in the tribe, there have been many people of knowledge through time . I wonder if its connected somehow ? No one in my family knows anything about our traditions or even our people , still have so many other pieces of the puzzle to put together but I have noticed a lot of Similarities with the tribes and their stories here and there . Blessings to you and your family 🤗 Thank you /Diosï meamo Tlazohcamati huel miac 💗🌞
Iris, your language is almost like a melody to say. Yes, I know the name you called Jesus Christ. He did walk the Americas, he did teach us all, every tribe, as when he was going back to heaven, so many tribal members wept. They didn't want him to leave, thus, he told them to bring forth their sick, maimed, ill, all who needed to be healed which they did and he healed them all. Then he spent time with them and taught them what you said about the herbs for sickness, health and well being, etc. Thus he went from tribe to tribe saying farewell, blessing them, teaching them, healing them, showing forth his great love and prayed for each of them. Our people were those whom he stayed with, ate with, cared about, how blessed are we? Very. I love my Savior as He is my God who created this world for us, for our learning and experience. Praised be His name, Jesus Christ. Because I do Native American genealogy research and have traveled the Continental USA, each tribe has their own stories, it is so heart warming and the familiarity is so powerful. Pray always and keep Him in your life for He is the one who is returning soon. Prepare to meet Him again. I so look forward to running to Him, to bath his feet with my tears, to thank Him for His life he gave to me, being my Redeemer, then feeling the prints of the nail prints in His hand, Feet and His side where the sword was thrust. I honor my Savior. I hope you feel my testimony of Him. Thank you sister Iris, for your precious comment. Hugs always. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma Yes nana you’re right, the stories I’ve heard say he would return , your perspective is sooo beautiful and sincere , for a long time especially after I learned out what the church did to our people and many other indigenous peoples,I wanted nothing do with them or Jesus , I was so angry , honestly still am , but I am praying to grow and heal, so that I may see things clearly and not through anger .. because I understand that anger is a poison . I do believe In creator and now that I’ve heard many elders speak about the church and how a lot of our traditions were infused /hidden within the church itself so that our traditions would survive ,I realized that creator is god and that’s no matter what name we call him he is the same person our ancestors spoke of so because of this my heart is more at peace and my love for creator grows and grows . We are blessed to have had ancestors who walked and spent time with him and I hope maybe one day we will too 💛 Thank you again grandma for your sharing your beautiful soul and views I hope to be like you if I’m lucky enough to ever become a grandma 🙏🏽💖 It’s funny that you mention that because that’s exactly how I feel about our native languages haha it’s music to my ears 👂😊 have a blessed and beautiful day grandma 🌞
@@NavajoGrandma thanks for this story and also thank you for this video. I think I needed them both, but your comment/story brought me to tears. Thank you again for bringing me back to center ❤️
Susan, no it doesn't but if it is it will fire up and just be careful. Get it on fire for the smoke, not the fire. Douse the flames and let it smoke. Thank you for asking. Happy Valentine's Day. Navajo Grandma
Thank you, grandma❣️ I’ve been smudging for years. But this way that you do it, I tried it last night as my heart needed Lots of healing. What I most love was cleansing the eyes & the mouth and the ears so that we may see and hear and speak with kindness and gentleness, thank you for that 🙏🏽
To me it is a spiritual cleansing so important as it begets physical & psychological & physiological changes to renew, protect, cleanse our bodies. It also takes faith to believe what we do is truly a blessing we give ourselves. We empower ourselves with self cleansing & self love, care and a defense against negativity. So proud of you. I always do this too morning and thru the day, not always necessary to have smoke. As u r around negatively from others & so I ruffle the bad or negative energy out & away when I feel it or sense it, more times we don't realize it & carry it home with us. It's also a way of re energizing thru out the day when we work or just to renew our energies. Some drink coffee to re energize but I will not. Empowering ourselves is critical in this world that is stressful, negative, etc. It's a peaceful cleansing that is real & has positive cause & effects. Scientists found this out. Energy is real of course within in us & we have the power to move it, remove it or to gain it. Thank you my dear one for your faith. Keep it up. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
thank you for stopping by and learning, hearing and hope you understand. Smudging is a powerful act and cleansing. I don't always use herbs or juniper etc. I smudge with my hands and ruffle my energy and calm and help my body in this way. When I am exhausted I do this and restore energy. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
God bless you and thank you for this message! I’m Cherokee and my mom never was taught the customs. When I see videos like yours it feels like home to me even though I was not taught Native ways. My heart feels so blessed to have found your videos and I really needed to see this one. I’m a believer in Jesus Christ and many have different opinions on Native Americans and our Father in Heaven. Thank you so much for teaching that both are desperately needed in our lives. God bless you Grandma!
What a wonderful beautiful comment and thank you for being so clear and seeing this need more so now in this day. We need to make choices and I pray we make the right ones. You said it most perfectly. Great wisdom. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
You are very welcome pah pah pah and remember your new lease on life. Become what is better, love yourself, be absolutely wonderful and amazing, creative and forgiving of yourself, your past, your junk, etc. Its a new day sweet one. And Grandma loves you too. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Yes Alice we sure are family. You are a wonderful soul to recognize that and to speak it aloud to us all. We are one big family with some differences but we love one another and teach and help each other. May your blessings pour down upon you in your life and PAW PAW PAW to the negative and this horrible covid!! Gma is healing and soon we shall do our LIVE!! Hugs always. Navajo Grandma
Just imagine if everyone would be like Navajo Grandmother in this world, it would be such an amazing Earth. I wish everyone would watch these videos as you touch the heart and soul in a person with your beautiful energy. Thank you so much and blessings and prayers to everyone ❤❤❤🙏
Charlotte how powerful are you? Wow your comment just filled me with such goodness and I see your heart and soul so beautiful and I don't think you need this cleansing as you are filled with such beauty of Hozho. Peace, Beauty, Balance and Harmony. What we speak is a mirror of whom we are. Thank you for your kindness and hugs yourself as I am sending healing hugs to you that you see that you have a new lease on life and now run with it. Be powerfully empowered and do it without negativity but positive vibrations and energy of which we are made of. You are lovely. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
yes I agree!
Bless you Navajo Grandma! 🙏 I wish everyone could watch this video!! JUST SAY PAH!!!!
Well thank you. Pah pah pah as you ruffle out that negativity. You are so sweet. Smile & know Grandma loves you for watching and being receptive! That's an honor. Remember your new lease on life, now get running & live a wonderful life with prayer, goodness & serving others who need you. Thank you so much! Remain wonderful. Navajo Grandma
I believe that Grandma's are more closely connected to the Earth Mother than anyone else. The kindness and caring is greatest in Grandma's.
I totally agree with you as I honor my Bizhi (Paternal gma) who suckled me and raised me as her own, my teacher, my example, my everything as a child to have been reared by her and my Nali. In the tribal ways, children were given to their grandparents to rear as the parents went to work, grandparents raised and taught the posterity that they would have values, honor for life, learn to be trustworthy, and mainly all morals and more's in life, and especially knowing who God is with reverence, that his handwork is Father Sky, Mother Earth and all things herein that were created for our good. So holy. You are right. How precious your understanding is. Navajo Grandma
A🙏🏻 let’s start 🙌 I needed this video more than you you’ll know.
@@NavajoGrandma you are a ángel sent. Thank you 🙏🏻
@@fernandasbordone2553 You know what Fernanda? Angels recognize each other. You are an angel that recognize grandma being an angel and that makes the both us pretty awesome. Don't you think? Love you so. Navajo Grandma
When you spoke about Jesus walking among you, my entire body began to tingle, the video is over and it’s still tingling. I had never thought to smudge my eyes, mouth and heart, or to pray as I smudged. Thank you so much for your love and kindness, even for the white man. I love you too Grandmother, I give to you great respect, love and admiration, may you have grace all the days of your life.
Virginia, sometimes I hear comments, but your comment is precious. Your spirit is strong. Your ability to be taught is a true virtue and as you commented all of these things came to grandma's heart. Christ is our Savior, we all shall see Him again soon. I so look forward to that day, I hope to see you there. Hugs always. Navajo Grandma
Shamen 💚🙏💙
@@NavajoGrandma Hi, how you doing? Great Video Navajo Grandma. I just wanted to let you know I only use smudge sticks not to cleanse myself not to get rid of negative spirits but I only use them when I go outside to the woods to drive away those pesky flies and mosquitoes.
@@MrET114 Amen to that and you are spot on. Great comment. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma Thank you, Navajo Grandma! God Bless You! Big Hugs 🫂
It's wonderful to see this beautiful Navajo Grandma, teaching us westerners how to do smudging and how we can learn to lie our lives. More Native people should follow her lead and teach us their world, I think the World needs this now.
Boy are you right. We need to be rid of the huge negativity in our Continental USA. Our precious land. Its too bad we can't smudge the world and wake up to positive outcomes. We desperately need to cleanse this world. God help us. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma I'm in the U.K, so you are reaching the world right now. And we all need to join forces in Healing our precious Earth, but more so for us, to re-balance and live our lives with nature, like the original peoples did.❤Thank you Navajo Grandma

I miss my Grandma, I'm going to adopt this lovely lady for my new Grandma,,,
Well Paul I am adoptable and yes you are my adopted grandchild too. So it goes both ways and happy to be your Navajo Grandma. If they ask, are you part Native just say, well I have a Navajo Grandma. See what their response it LOL!! Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandmaSo nice to hear.
I thought the same! Such a beautiful soul.
Divine timing me finding you today. Thank you for sharing your medicine.
Well it is wonderful for you to find Navajo Grandma. I am so happy you are here and in our Navajo Grandma family. You are loved here, you matter and you are needed, "hows that? I love this smudging video and yes, that is how we smudge with our hands in the Navajo Nation using Cedar or Juniper. The Plains indians use white sage, etc. You don't even have to use anything, just use your hands and ruffle that yulky junk out of you and give yourself the good energy you need. I am so happy to hear from you. Hugs and loves to you from Navajo Grandma
'Grandma', I NEEDED to hear this today, THANK YOU! I am grateful for you!
When Grandma sends her love, her hugs and Hozho to you, it is a powerful prayer to keep you safe, to heal you, and give you comfort in the coming days and year for only but success in your life. Life is sober, it is real, we only live it one time and let's do it right with Ke', Hozho, prayer, smudging and bringing in the positive. Navajo Grandma
Thank u for ur wonderful teachings. I just started smudging and this vid was very helpful. I just finished the fry bread vid too and I canr wait to try it this week. I want to keep all these traditions so ur videos are very helpful to me 🙂
Me too, Navajo Grandma! Thank you so much! Many blessings to you!

Thank you for your comment Johanna. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
I needed this video. My daughter was in PICU with covid pneumonia and was on a high flow oxygen along with steroids for her lungs. I asked everyone I know to pray for her. I prayed all day everyday I spoke the Promises from the Bible for health, and healing. My daughter is now recovered and we will be going home today. The power of prayer is strong and I’m so grateful. I did what you said and I told her how much she means to me how much joy she brings to be everyday. I have four wonderful children and they are my entire world. I want to thank you for all your videos. My children are from the Paiute tribe and I’m from the Three Affiliated Tribes. God bless you and your family.
My dearest Kimberly, Wow, what an endearing story. I am so thankful your daughter is returning back to full health. It is truly amazing how truth, honesty, prayer, appreciation, Hozho and Ke' does heal. So many are so involved with themselves they lose these internal innate love and endearment we each need for one another. I told my husband before my fiance' died I had pneumonia so bad, and my fiance' had been gone out of state. I missed him so much. When I saw him, I literally was healed instantly. He loved me so much and sadly, he did die. When he died, he did come back to me to tell me how much love he had for me and to let him go as my life would move forward. It was hard but my life did move forward, and here I am teaching and sending you my hugs and love. You are loved and so is your daughter.. Keep up the love, hugs and positivity. Paw paw paw, get rid of the negative, illness, anything and in its place comes positivity, health, love, etc. Navajo Grandma
Thank you. Here I go crying again. I’m so sorry for your loss. You remind me of my aunt Janice, she is another strong native lady.
If you choose to do so. I will help you from my tribe can make medicine bag to protect from illness of this year.your going to need a burlap bag and a red one. Cotton anil blueing powder.jutia y pescado (smoked fish and rodent) seven pieces of corn a copper coin one calmfour tablet.

Then light a purpel candel.when it is finish burning down it is ready to use you can either were it on you or keep in your left back pocket. It breaks dont worry it did what its job. Hope this helps you.
@kimberlythompson926 Kimberly, tho it's been 2 years your comment I have reread with the hope of God and all that is positive. I am so humbled by your self expressions. Your honesty. You are a good soul and I again ask you to pray always, you are never forgotten but loved by your Navajo Grandma. I pray that your life is filled with joy and that you know you matter in this life.

Hi there and thank you for watching this smudging video. Remember you new lease on life. Be happy. Navajo Grandma
Thank you very much for your wisdom! I love you too❤❤❤
Happy hugs from Navajo Grandma
Yateeh Nali! I grew up in diinetah and moved to Texas 4 years ago, I miss home so much and this was an awakening for me! Out of respect and reverence I finally smudged my howan,… we needed it and I needed this peace tonight as well. Thank you and god bless nali!
Tyson you did what was wonderful for your home. This is great. I hope you are able to go back to your home in Texas. First I get an opposition comment now it is full of goodness. Smudging does bring peace, and the smell is priceless to my nose and spirit. I am so happy you do this to clear the air, the spirit of what you live. This is lovely. What a change of comments. hugs from Navajo Grandma
Thank you for posting this ❤Beautiful
I am happy you appreciate this video. Love you and hugs. Navajo Grandma
Bless you beautiful woman. I used to always just smudge my house and never thought to smudge myself ;
oh, I think this is going to be the best practice I take on. Thank you so much.
Wonderful! There is always something we learn. Smudge away with your new lease on your Hozho life. That is walking in beauty life. Paw paw paw, release the bad, welcome in the good. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
I love you too. Thank you Grandma
Thank you again.. Navajo Grandma
I always smudge my dwelling when I move in to a new house.
Always with sage. You just taught me about juniper... I had never heard of using juniper until now. Thank you Navajo Grandma!!!
You are amazing and so prepared in being sure you home is clean and full of Hozho. Wonderful!! Navajo Grandma
I needed this so much to watch and do this ...aaaaaa
Pah pah pah, let the negativity go, let it go. Replace it with joy, happiness, peace, beauty, balance & harmony. Navajo Grandma
Thanks for this. To cleanse my life, you'd need a forest. I am only 36 but feel like I've lived for 100 years. This made me feel a little better though! Keep going Grandma. I appreciate your insight and uplifting attitude.
Hyala, no need for a forest, remember what Gma said, forgiving yourself first, though not easy, but I give you permission that you can do it. Then also Gma gave you a new lease on life. Begin right now, paw paw paw, your whatever past is gone, now move forward CLEAN, NEW, yup, it’s done. Most of all love you, yourself Hyala, dear one. I believe in you and I don’t even need to see you, your worth is boundless, more value than the whole world, how powerful is that. Yup it’s in you. Remember. Hugs galore. Navajo Grandma
I want to make this woman a Natural Treasure! She is one reason I feel that Grandmothers need to hold positions of power. We lead with our hearts and don't want power...only peace and love. She is a leader. ❤❤❤
Oh my what a powerful statement of hozho. For hozho is filled with "peace, beauty, balance & harmony that all people who breathe do seek." Thank you, as we are all leaders within our own circles, communities and state, tribes or nations. We are the light to others and I pray we will remain this way and become brighter with the light of God, to be Saviors to all mankind. Now is the time to stand against evil trying to overshot our light individually and outwardly. Men's hearts are hardening, anger leads our ways, a kind word, a hand up is forgotten but selfishness reigns with Satan. May we stand with God, pray with great faith, give hope and a hand up. Give a hug, a smile but pray always for the poor, sick & lost and more so our enemies. May God help each of us to be the leaders we are. We weren't reserved for this time and day for nothing. God reserved those alive with power to stand against evil and you and I are His army. May we take our place. Amen. Hugs, Navajo Grandma
Please be my grandma. I just discovered your channel (saw a frybread video!). I have some Eastern Cherokee blood, and now that I'm in my 60's, feel an urging to learn more than just basics. I love this "smudging" and hope to incorporate into my daily prayers.
Yes, I am your grandma gee whiz. You are so cute to ask please. Thank you for subscribing and watching, learning as I need you to let me know I am still needed. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Thank you, beautiful Navajo Grandma. ❤️
@ScarlettRose7221 Hugs from Navajo Grandma. So appreciate your comment.
Did I hear you say that Jesus walked among your people? That is beautiful.
Ruth, yes, sweetheart, you should read a book called, He Walked The Americas, author: L. Taylor Hansen. This book consists of how the person took yrs to interview and to find this information from each tribe about Jesus Christ. My grandfather use to give the most beautiful powerful oral rendition of how the stories handed down about our people’s knowledge of the crucifixion of Christ in navajo. I miss it’s powerful message from my grandfather. It is so humbling, I know of one person still living who tells of this oral history. I have yet to interview him, record him, maybe not as detailed as my gpa’s but pretty close. Jesus Christ does live, I know this to be true as the sun rises and sets. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma Again I come to you! I was taught from birth about Christ. I loved him from the moment I understood in a way. Still do and alway's will! The day of the fire I knew I was going to die. I lay on the floor watching the smoke decend and talked to the fire 911 operator. I was not afraid! I remember telling him goodby. No fear, no panic, just calm peace! There were many miracles that day! Like a cordless phone that worked after the electricity popped off. They found it almost melted beside me and heard the 911 operator yelling at me to hold on, help was on the way! A fireman picked it up and said hello! The operator was very happy!!! Started to say so and the phone quit working. There was an advanced life support Ambulance less than three minutes away practicing with a fire department from across the river and they all came. My front door fell out of the wall because my German Shepherd gave his life trying to open it. He was never taught to do what he did! Like dragging me away from the flames. I have scars on my arm from his teeth. I hope they last forever! His name was/is Moose. There was a helicopter practicing advanced rescue techniques with the fire department and ambulance. The Dr. on duty was trained for fire and drowning injuries and death. No one else needed them so I got them all! Lifeflight was a new jet with advanced equipment and all the pilot's were combat trained. Three helicopters and one jet to get me across the state to a hospital that specializes in fire and drowning injuries. I woke up a week later as the Dr's were re-entubing (sp?) me and I bit one of them! Out went the light for another week. Hyperbaric treatments helped save me. But, I was told my Moosie was gone, along with pretty much everthing. I have a warrior Spirit and I'm not gone till God say's I am. Most of the time I can get along. But, I don't understand why. My lungs are a mess, still can't drive. I know one thing for sure, the devil is a liar! God has me here for a reason, He will tell me when the time is right! satan is in attack mode again. But I'm not afraid! God saved Daniel from the lion's den! And those faithful men from the furnace. Please don't ask me to spell their name's! I would love to know how God called you to this ministry! You ARE a healer! My mother said that gentleness and love were the strongest gifts God gave us! Looking forward to more video's. Sorry I talk too much! Thank you! A'HO 💚
@@marshamoore8385 I am so humbled by your experience. And look at you, strong, faithful, an example to all who sink in their worldly lives and you live. I send you my special hugs Marsha.

Get that negativity out, out of our govenernment, out of our lives, invite faith, hope, goodness that you may know you matter, you are sacred & holy. You are truly a child of God. You are of Royal blood and remember your new lease on life! VOTE for freedom, our Constitution, our 2nd Amendment, our Country & the most beautiful flag representing our freedoms bought thru blood & sacrifice! This country trusts in God and not Communism the democrats decry to destroy a great Nation under God. Amen. Navajo Grandma
Your so right grandma out with the old in with the new I will smudge when the sun comes up that blessings and good vibes fill the air hearing what you teach heals my heart your words are like meadacine for my soul thank you bless you grandma
Hi Dear Will, yes, smudge with your hands, you don't need all the gadgets. These are positive affirmations you are giving yourself, but do use the hand motions as it does ruffle away the negative up and out. Read about it scientifically how amazing Native Americans knew things like this long before the white folks. It came from God. Amen. Hugs always, continue your journey, forgive yourself, love yourself, it starts within you then outward. Treat others how you want to be treated. Hugs always. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma and I forgot to add one thing I love how you said jesus walked with our people I learned something new do you have a story from the elders about it id love to listen to it
Thank You so so much for all of your Prayers for Anything in this Wire Wide or World God Blessing you too 😊😇🤞🌞😍🙏😊
You are so welcome and yes you and all are so important as we continue living in this world. Although it is full of problems, normal and made up and the Communism encroaching, all need our attention, our prayers and for us to stand up for truth. We need to support what is truth and what is Godly, not the secular which brings Greed, Power and Control and it gets out of hand very very easily when a person or leaders become filthy selfish and they go down the road to the bottom pit and take many with them. May we remember to be strong, to stand for right like our CHIEFTANS did in days of old. They called for all Tribal Nations to stand together, it is time we do now. Their words ring strong and clear right now. Amen. Navajo Grandma
You make us happy Grandma. You are a powerful spirit. You have kind ways, and nothing is more powerful than your kindness!
Kindness comes from God.
Possibly the very best video I have ever seen
Hi there Tara & Sky, thank you for that wonderful comment of Hozho. You are so kind. I do pray that you will continue to realize that our need to clarify our physical and spiritual bodies, our senses, our spirit thru vital positivity. That we thru forgiving ourselves and being positive do heal ourselves, create longevity, goodness in health and well being, and know we do have a new lease on life as it should be in our hearts and minds at all times as we do what is best and good for ourselves and others. Sorry about that long sentence. Navajo Grandma sends her positive hugs and goodness. I hope you both have a place to spend Thanksgiving. If not, cook for each other and remember your blessings, pray always. Be blessed with family that you create even if it is only the both of you. Thankful hugs again. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma Thank you so much Navajo Grandma. 💖 Your words went right through my spirit and healed me. You are such a beautiful healer I truly feel Creator sent me here. I so honored and blessed you took precious time out of your day to respond to me. This made my day. Speaking of smudging to get rid of negative, I was wondering if you had an opinion on people with visions. I spent years as someone who used a Tarot deck of cards to help people with positive messages of healing. When I began to go back to my Christian faith, I gave it up as I did not want to offend Creator. Many people told me I helped them more than their doctor. My mother tells me that this is my gift from the Creator. I was wondering if you had any insight on this matter. Thank you Navajo Grandmother, I am so thankful that you are here on Earth.
@@TaraandSky First of all, Tarot cards although you used it for good is not what you should ever entertain again. Yes, the Creator does not approve. I once use to go get my readings and did that a few times and I learned through very sad experience that it was wrong. Never again after that. My opinion. Regarding visions, I don't know if you are seeing things or are you hearing or feeling things before they happen, not sure. I would rather call it being a gift given as your Mother explained to you. When used, our gifts can literally heal. It is a power of the Creator, some have it some don't. Some recognize it and some have no idea they have it as they are blind to goodness. Some hide it from themselves as they have experienced something tragic not realizing it is healing. So I suggest you treasure this gift of healing, it is powerful. We are all given certain gifts and we need to recognize them. Build upon those gifts and develop them. The world needs healers right now, the world needs direction thru holiness, to remember there is truly a Creator in charge, that all we have is not ours but His and our lives and all we have is borrowed. When we take our last breath we take nothing but relationships, our intellect, our gifts as treasures of eternity. You are empowered with gifts, develop them with prayer, be grateful and use with reverence and your power to heal will be needed in the days that are coming. And I promise you will be needed from the darkness and evil that is coming to try to destroy all that is good. Its like the Hobbit movies, the Jedi's and the Avengers. These are examples that I know you can understand. They each possessed gifts and used them and together they became strong. Teach others about their gifts and use yours always. You will discover how as you are prayerful. Never be afraid of your gifts. As you develop one then more will come. Lastly, you can ask for more gifts but only in reverence and with an honest heart that it will serve others and lastly serve you. I may have overly spoken but I think you will understand. Now go and use your gifts. Never be ashamed of them. Don't flaunt it either. Do not speak of it as evil will try to make you prideful, just don't speak of your gifts, only in your prayers. Use it wisely when you know you need to or can. I have many gifts, I just use them without telling others about them as they are reverent gifts. But powerful. Prayer empowers you even more. Remain prayerful. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
YOU HAVE OPENED A NEW DOOR TO MY LIFE THAT JUST HEARING WHAT YOU SPOKE ABOUT HAS HELPED ME LIKE YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE.THANK YOU
Oh my dear ruben, may God bless you in all your new beginnings and forgiving yourself. None of us are perfect as you can see by my videos, they aren't Hollywood supreme, they are simple, genuine, from the heart and real. Just your grandma being a grandma to you. Thank you for whatever this video helped you with in your life. Remember, "paw, paw, paw," remove the negative, bring in the positive dear one. Hugs always. Navajo Grandma
Thank you for this
Happy to teach Dine' smudging. Remember your new lease on life. Live, truly live, smile, forgive yourself, serve, surprise someone, if u smudged & let go of all negativity than enhance the positive daily. Pray always for clarity, be honest whom you will follow, research, there are the Holy Ones, then man. We all need clear thinking & understanding to not be led astray. Too many people walking away from truths for money, relationships that are awful, do not let your virtues & morals down. Live them. Be happy. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Hi Navajo grandma! Not sure if you’ll see this comment but thank you so so much for these videos I’m also Navajo but unfortunately the native traditions died with my great grandmother so I wasn’t taught anything. I’m the first in my family since my great grandmother to start my decolonization journey and become closer to my roots and you’re teaching me so much. Thank you ❤️
Keep on watching and learning. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Norma G
You are so sweet and thanks for teaching me how to smudg you said to forgive everyone but it's the hardest things to do specially if you're own blood mother was evil to you since in the womb and all you're life 😢😢 ..NORMA G WHEREVER YOU ARE, WHOEVER YOU ARE, I could not find you. Navajo Grandma loves you. I am so sorry about your blood mother and how she treated you and is treating you now. Sometimes, even as it hurts we pray for those who are hurting us, leave it to God. Go and find yourself and become amazing at something that will help you see that you are wonderful, that you matter and that you are needed. Like here with Navajo Grandma. Everyone here loves one another, we are here to say you are loved and we totally understand, and some won't be able to, but no matter, you mean a great deal Norma. G. I send my loving healing hugs to you. Grandma loves you. Know this. I had to put this here for you in hopes you read it. Love you tons. Navajo Grandma
You don't need to smudge, you already have amazing great energy that is sacred within you heart and soul. You need to be teaching us. Thru our trials we become Godly and you are. Humbled by your amazing comment. Love you. Navajo Grandma
I have a friend who is Cherokee and he's a part of the Western tribe. He gave me things to smudge with and basically told me what you've spoken about. I live in an apartment complex that used to be a Tuberculosis hospital that was turned into apartments in the 80s. So it definitely has spirits that are still lingering and have made their presence known. The first time I smudged there was soo much of a light feeling from before and it was a great feeling.
I love your name Grasshopper! Yikes did people die there and what a dumb question, probably but yes, I would smudge and allow everyone the joy of bringing forth the positive and getting rid of the negative. That might mean all those folks who had been lingering there. I would say they won't be hanging around now. This is a powerful tool for positivity and only what is negative will be removed. Enjoy and bask in the positivity of this smudging. Glad to hear you are doing this as it is a wonderful way to feel calm, see and feel the beauty, balance and harmony, Your body loves it and your spirit even more. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
@NavajoGrandma After I smudged the first time there was this strange feeling that felt very light. It was weird but nice at the same time. It's something that I will have to keep doing because I have had a few encounters inside the apartment and one right outside the apartment in the hallway. But as I mentioned, it was a hospital so I have to keep that in mind. I have often thought about smudging the hallway, but I don't want the neighbors to catch me and think I'm crazy. Lol
@@grasshopper25 You know what? I would do this during the night or when everyone has settled into their rooms or apartments. You can also say a prayer and cast out all evil spirits or spirits that do not belong in your home, room, that you command them to leave and not return. No matter whether this was a hospital or not. You have power over these spirits and command them to go to the light, or to be removed from your home. You can speak, "in the name of Jesus Christ, I command all evil spirits or spirits that do not belong in this home of mine, I command them to leave and not return that there is peace, beauty, balance and harmony put in their place. I speak this in and thru the name of Jesus Christ Amen." No matter where we go, gpa always uses prayer and commands all evil spirits or spirits that are not allowed in the hotel room we are sleeping in, that they are commanded to leave and not return that there is peace, safety, calm and goodness to fill the rooms. He commands this in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen. Prayer is so vital and it should always be your breathe. Pray in the hallways too so you don't always need to smudge there. This is your right to command evil from you or uninvited spirits. Wise counsel. Navajo Grandma
R u talking about AGHolly
Whatta joy listening you!!
I don’t understand why we as Americans don’t learn Native Americans language, we should speak Natives language.
Natives value life, nature everything
Green Peace, there is wonderful correct principles in every society and Native tribes, its that few try to live them and few want to take the time to teach the beauty there is in our cultures. I have learned many good things from the white folks as many have learned from me. We all need to value ourselves and our teachings. Grandma is just sharing hers here and without you Navajo Grandma would not exist. See how important you are. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Thank you for sharing your, and your family’s wisdom. The story of your Grandfather praying in the morning dusk is beautiful, and wise. We need more of this respect in today’s age. Be well and again, thank you for this lesson. pah! pah! Pah! From here on out 🙏
Jesse Grandma loves you!! I love how receptive you are, as it brings me joy. Thank you for appreciating my Shi Nali my Paternal grandfather whom I look to as a great man who walked on water. He was a humble great leader in his community which he taugh
Continued sorry .. but what my grandfather taught was Godly, always humble and wise. And I hate to put my hat on science but that is a testimonial wherein, science found what we have known always as I was taught, we are made of Godly elements whereby energy source is in our every body part. When you ruffle with your hand you are ruffling your energy source within your body. You start at the torso ruffle upward and out your crown of your head. You also ruffle from your shoulder out thru your finger tips. Then from your torso down & out your feet. Best example: when running my several marathons as a single mother of 7 kids, running was great therapy, strength. Physical acuity needed for dealing as a single mom. So when in my 20th mile always toward the end the marathon heads would always add a hill at the 6th mile & 20th mile. Some in between those but not as steep. So steep, a grinding steep on the 20th mile. You start to feel a bit of energy wane so they have water stands, you never drink or swallow but rinse your mouth cuz you can feel dried out and that water splash also on your body helps. At two points you feel a little less energy. That is when I would smudge with my hands torso up, out my shoulder to my fingers and waist down & out. This was better than a cup of water, this smudge would clear any lack, waning, or aching, if that happens, all of a sudden a burst of energy comes, a calm calm energy that helps you have even breathing, it creates a calm power packed energy all over your body. Like you sat down for a bit & got up ready to go. I also learned to breathe calmly, so the hills became my energy booster, downhill was a sweet breeze, running in at the end people fell. Which is bad, you never stop. It actually tears your heart coverings & muscles thus some drop dead. You have to walk it out. Another smudge moments and as u walk it out your body calms naturally without internal tears or pain. You have great power given you to restore yourself, your body. Simple energy work, drinking water, having pure thoughts, controlled thoughts to lift you. Thus it is powerful and empowers you. It also takes faith & humility. Do you see the virtues we were taught by our ancestors while you may believe we struggled, what was painful economically, due to poverty, government taking what they willed, cheating our people we were taught virtues to survive and I still do. I smudge still for well being, emotionally, spiritually & more. As you calm your thoughts and self doing this. It is a prayer against evil that comes into our bodies, our psychi & some we invite. It's so much about life and energy. Hope this lesson has a small impact at how I was taught.
Navajo Grandma
Grandma, I'm doing a report on you for my Religion paper. Love your videos and thank you so much for the beautiful education you give us. Blessings.
I pray it is good. Remember to pray to present and address the needs of your class as you never know whom you can influence for good, or that needs to hear what you have to say. Even your Professor or teacher, they need it too. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
I love you so much Navajo grandma ❤️🙏many blessings to you and your family!!!
Anna, smudging is also one blessing we have that will not change and can only be the best for our body, spirit and soul. That includes our intellect and all around us. Love you always too. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma Thank you so much for sharing. My great grandma was an orphan, taken from her people and raised in a mission in New Mexico. She was worked as a maid by the missionaries her whole life ... even in some historical texts are her photos where she has very short hair and wearing an apron and very old fashioned looking boots..until she was 16 or 18 old enough to leave. She made a best friend there who was her life time sister and they always lived next door to each other wherever they went ( the two girls bonded but must have been so scared at times). My grandmother did some blessings too that her mother tried to remember but I did not remember all the specifics. Thank you for sharing ❤️🙏much love and gratitude ❤️ I watch all your videos. God Bless you👼
@@annapacheco2842 What an honorable great grandmother. Make sure you keep those records, pictures and information so that when you go thru your trials you can read, look at and be strengthened. What an honor that you have this information. There is a great purpose for you to have this information. You are a choice soul and spirit. Remain as strong as your great grandmother and know you are needed, your are wonderful and you are loved. Loved greater by no one but by your great grandmother who is watching over you. She had this given to you because she knows your heart. She loves you more than you know. Remember this. Hugs with honor. Navajo Grandma
Thank you so much grandma! Your words of wisdom are always empowering. Creator is good!!! Yes, we are blessed to be here and walking this Earth. Everyday is a gift! Have a beautiful day and may your family keep bringing happiness to others. Have a great New Year 🥳 🎉
@@annapacheco2842 Nizhónígo Nináánááhai Dooleeł! (Happy New Year) Love and hugs. Navajo Grandma
Beautiful Grandma
Again, Montana D what a beautiful name, well chosen. Paw paw paw, you too need to breathe in all the good vibrations of your life no matter where life takes you. Remain blessed, forgive, forget, now let’s move forward stronger together. Come with me. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Thank you Grandma !!
Well George, if you don't have anything, use your hands and smudge away. It is scientifically proven that we ruffle our energy and it does work. Hugs to you. Navajo Grandma
HAPPY THANKSGIVING MIKE! PRAY THAT YOUR GOBBLE GOBBLE DAY IS TASTY AND WONDERFUL!! PRAY ALWAYS WITH GRATITUDE. TURKEY HUGS FROM Navajo Grandma
I was feeling very angry and sad the other day... :( I don’t know why, most likely the stresses of life. I smudged myself and recited a prayer 3 times and afterwords I was so exhausted and felt calm. My right ear started to ring loud for a little while... it was weird. But then my anger started to ease away. I’ve been searching for spiritual enlightenment and help. Thank you for this video/ lesson it’s going to help me with my journey. Please continue to teach us. 💕
Hi pretty girl, I have felt just like that at times too. I am very proud of you though you felt down, you continued to smudge yourself, which is truly an extension of prayer my dear granddaughter. You know you are my granddaughter right, every one who has subscribed is my grandchild. So, from Grandma, think over the stresses because they are real, as you grow older, with greater understanding, the world could blow up and you will understand and still smile. Honest, I have to tell you, time does heal and makes us wiser. Its true. I am an A type of personality, and drove myself nuts. Now, I am calm as a breeze in the warm sunshine. Hormones don't help either. I became a witch from hell, sorry to use that honest word, when I went thru my change of life for 2 solid years. How I made it thru, heaven help us. But as life is for women, we are emotional, we want good in our lives, we would like our family, spouses, children to be human, kind and tender, forgiving, but guess what? You let it go. Paw Paw Paw. Or you will drive yourself nuts. I now say, "stop trying to change the world, start with yourself and oh my gosh, it works." I don't mean you let the house, work, and family go to you know where. You need to be first, be kind to yourself, if someone treats you wrong, say la vee right? Its their problem not yours sweetheart. I don't know what you are going through, it comes and goes. But most of all, be kind to yourself, love yourself, raise yourself above the fray, talk kind to yourself and its amazing how you will see the world, people, family. They may become idiots, but you can tell them, "your my idiots and I love you." "I really do." Its not easy but doable sweetheart. I send you my hugs and prayers that you will go thru all this with wisdom, loving who? "yourself." You matter most to you. Then the rest of the world, how else can you strengthen the world without strengthening yourself first. Love you. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma thank you so much Grandma! 🥰☺️💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
I'm a grandma and she blows my mind 🤗
Thank you for your positive energy grandma! I feel your love 🥰
Thank you Cobra… I so appreciate your being receptive. It reveals your inner spiritual trait and strength. There is indeed power within our bodies made of energy that we can ruffle upward and outward to release negative energy then allowing its replacement of positive or negative ions for heal, peace, balance and harmony. Scientists have proven we are made of elements of positive energy and positive vibrations. Native American ancestors we way ahead of these scientists regarding this self empowerment. Practice and use this instead of pills. It’s my medicine. Happy thoughts. Navajo Grandma
In tears!!! But God is good always! ❤ Suffering sad & remembering so much I wish I could forget. I choose to forgive. From when I fist understood words, from my mother, they were cruel words given with a smile and I suffered without anyone knowing it. My kids and I cared for her through cancer 5 years ago & she was still cruel, but no one around us ever knew. I have times still today where I weep and cry out, I have never heard loving or teaching words from her, but only from my grandma. I miss my grandma so much!!
Thank you for this video! I will do this and believe. I love Jesus so much ❤ this made me smile (& cry good tears) today.
I love you, I appreciate you!!
Terribelle3, what a moving comment you sent to me. I was saddened for you as I too have gone thru stuff like this with my ex husband, my children and people in my church. They do not care to be kind only to those they want, yet in the same token they expect you the one who serves them and the one they stomp on to serve them as if it is our duty. Yet we with kind hearts still serve with love thru the mess. It has affected me thru the years myself, but I am still learning to let it run off like water off a duck's back. Easy to say right? I know. I pray you will watch this video time and time again. You need someone to be on your side and love and give you healing hugs. If I was there I would. I totally understand those painful tears now and then. Next, the part of the smudging is to again release the negativity and say this as you release the negative energy thru the crown of your head say this: "I happily & permanently release all unkind words of hate of any kind from any person. It has no place within me, as I am kind, loving, I have a happy heart, a kind loving heart, I can only find and see and feel goodness for myself and others. Also I forgive myself for paying heed to this negativity which I shall no longer allow within my loving spirit and soul. I desire to be happy, loving, kind and serving. As I do so I shall partake of the bounty of God's plan for me and I shall walk, run and not faint and the angel of death shall pass me by. I shall live with love, tenderness and prayer with gratitude for my Savior Jesus Christ for continually healing me. Amen pah pah pah. Find joy in your loving heart and good soul. You deserve to be happy and loved with kindness. Hugs always from Navajo Grandma. Pray always for peace, beauty, balance and harmony!! This is called Hozho in the Dine' way of life. Love you. Navajo Grandma
Grandma as long as we have you we will always have a reason to be happy.
Now that is a great responsibility. But grandma is willing to accept it as without any of you who are grandma's youtube family, "I would not exist," thus how important are you?? Hmmm let me count the ways. Navajo Grandma
Thank you for sharing all the information you share, not only for this generation but for the future generations. It brought me to tears a bit when you mentioned about being a single mom. I myself am a single mom. Sending hugs.
Dearest Melissa, bless your heart and your energy and your Will and mind. It isn't easy, but when the children are grown, and they are gone, you will look back and see, you did the best for them. Love them, support them by letting them know how much you care and protect them. The blessings come in a circle right back at you. Hold them close, they need this and so do you. Sending my strength, and huge hugs to you. As those are the shoes I once walked in and glad its over, but what strength, wisdom and knowledge I learned about myself, it takes a strong woman, not a mouse. What does that say about you? Love you. Navajo Grandma
My eyes are burning🔥 listening to you it's making water come out💚✌️🕊️🕊️🦋🦋🌏🦘👣👣👣🌻🌻🌹🌺🦘🌻🌻🌻🦋🦋🦋🦋💥🤍🕊️🕊️👣👣👣👣🌵look up the symbolic meaning of 🌵 cactus..cos your this 🌵 🫧 🌵 xxxx👣🦘🦘🤍💥
You are wonderful and I thought I had answered you already but again, here goes. I so appreciate your heart and who you are. I love reading your expressions of water and what are tears? This is a new year with a New Lease on life and how we are at the helm of our own ship and decide what comes into our lives good or evil. Let's see, hmmm I do believe we want GOODNESS right? Then come on and let's go and have an amazing year!! Love you so. Navajo Grandma
THANKS SOOOOO MUCH FOR THIS TEACHING,😢😥😢😥
Oh Lucinda, I am having hope that you do appreciate this video and pray you continue to subscribe and learn from grandma. Love you so. Navajo Grandma
I'm not sure how I found you Navajo Grandma, but I'm glad I did. You are a good soul and I appreciate your wisdom. Angel from The Bay Area, Caliboy
Hi there Caliboy, thank you for subscribing and most have said the same thing. "I don't know how I found you but I am staying." LOL! I love the way the good of the earth surrounds us and makes it look like it just happened. But things do happen for a reason. This video for one as you may need to let go of your negativity as you are probably one of the great leaders that is needed to bring back the values, the goodness of God and political sanity, the nationalism lost, the spirit of America and so forth. Here as you smudge you learn that you have to let go of negativity, to clear your shakra as they say, that you may open your heart and spirit to what is true not the lies paraded before us now. We do need to stand up to what is right and it does still exist. Not long from now there will be more turmoil than you will have ever seen and the end of days are near. We need to prepare. It doesn't sound fun but we need to be right mentally, psychologically, spiritually, physically and emotionally etc. You start by forgiving yourself, valuing yourself so you may value others. Whether you believe in God or not, He does live, He does exist and He also does have a son called Jesus Christ and there is also the spiritual aspect called the Holy Ghost who is a divine spirit who does bear witness to you and all you desire that is of all truth only. Anytime you want to know if what you heard, saw or read is true, you ask God. He will answer you. So Navajo Grandma is not a Christian, only in the ways of the white folks. But we as a Navajo (Dine') people and in our family line we were taught all that the Christians preach. We knew these things long before we came here. You might or might not know where Chaco Canyon is, well that is where my Nali (Paternal Gpa) would always stop us in the wagon and he would turn and say, there is where the son of God stood and blessed, raised the dead, taught goodness and what medicines we should use when he no longer was with us to heal ourselves thru the natural plants etc. He spoke this is Dine' Bizaad which is the Navajo language. This is our oral history and again, no one dares to bring this out and I am. This is the real history of our people from whence we came across the great waters in the East. We never came thru the Bering Strait. Its all hooey. When they say "those who win the wars are the ones who write the history," this is true. They have the power and control. So be careful what you hear, see and read. Like Grandma said, pray about it and ask God if what you see, hear and read is true. You will get an answer. You will feel it and know it. This is for all things. Like marriage, the person you are with, what you do and where you go. Is it good. Is it right is it what is meant for you. If not then you will find the Hozho Grandma explains which is: "peace, beauty, balance and harmony," which is what all Navajo's have sought for when ill, when going astray and usually they get the Medicine man to do this ritual for them to bring them back into harmony. Which, of course, depends upon us as well. There is a lot to learn but if you do not agree, I say go find what fits you and live it with honesty. Again otherwise grandma always prays for you and welcomes you with open arms. There is never no one like our Grandma's. They are deadly honest and full of forgiveness and love. Their smile always wakes us up to knowing we are loved and needed. I hope you value your grandmother and take the time to sit and listen to her wisdom. Hugs always from Navajo Grandma
Its trippy to hear truth from real people as you read grandma's response to you. But what grandma speaks is true and from the heart. NG
Hello Navajo Grandmother, I agree with what you posted. I ask our Creator God for guidance everyday because I need it and there is no other way. I believe in his son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. There are definitely signs of times happening now.
I know “Truth” when I hear it. If it resonates with my "being", I accept it, if not I don’t. What you posted is the Truth and I appreciate hearing it very much.
I was a grandma’s boy and I was probably her favorite. I say this because as adults my cousins don’t share the same stories of our grandmother as I. I happen to have a good memory.
I remember them running through her garden as I was watering it when they came from out of town (big City) to visit. It was disrespectful trampling grandma’s garden, she worked hard in it, so I did let my grandmother know, and they got a scolding.
I was helpful, obedient, respectful and loving to her. She was “Love” to me.
Since childhood I have always been drawn to elders that speak wisdom, love and light and I still am.
My grandmother was a healer and she healed both animals and humans when sick or injured. I remember many times family members and people from the small town would go to her when they were ill or having life’s issues (mental) grandma always knew what to say, she prepared some type of healing drink in the form of a herbal tea and would massage the anxiety, sadness or pain they were experiencing away.
Of course, I didn’t understand what was happening at the time. I was too little but as I grew older, I understood. My grandmother is no longer here on earth with us, but I know she watches over me.
I know one day we will all be reunited again. Certain things, sounds, scents, reminds me of my wonderful grandmother and can instantly bring me back in time. Now, I prepare certain foods from scratch that she made and I learned to CAN preserves like she did. I keep certain traditions alive and it gives me joy, because I do it in her honor.
Thank you for taking the time to teach those of us who want to learn from you. I appreciate you.

Marcey thank you for taking the time to watch this video. Keep those affirmations up and remain strong and wonderful as you are. Hugs always. Navajo Grandma
Ahhhhhh yes dear grandma!!! The cedar, our kin. I immediately thought of one of my absolute favorite songs. Annie Humphrey- "Winter mornings, coffee, and cedar smoke". It is part of my youtube playlist. Have you heard it? It is a magnificent generational anthem in my opinion. Explains everything we feel in a song during smudge. How we pray for our children how we want them to remember most the smell of our cedar prayers in the air as we remembered our mothers prayers.🌿❤ thank you so much for your teachings and all your love. I am a loving warrior of christ also. We are his hidden ones, his chosen. Thank you for your prayers and wisdom so much. I observe hebrew new year in March and send you all my love and blessings to you and your family. You are a jewel and a daughter of Zion.
Ebony, you are one I would reach out to, cup your beautiful face in gma’s hands, bless you, pray with you, celebrate deity with you because you are so genuine in spirit. May you remain even more amazing, paw paw paw, let in and breathe in all the good vibrations of this blessed life we have. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma All praises to the most high the great I Am and his beautiful son and holy spirit! I send you all my love grandma!!!
And he loves you Grandma! Jesus is always with you. The past history is sad, but we need to love each other and respect the Native American culture.
You bet and I know He loves me. The past is gone, that is why we continue making positives out of negatives, and praying and making positive affirmations with smudging. Awesome healing. Paw Paw Paw. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
You are a blessing!
Yes the past is gone sad this government cannot own up to their wrong doings. Too many treaties broken. I will stay positive and listen to your wisdom.
Thank you Dine' grandma 😽 A cousin of mine taught me how to smudge using the light (she's what one would call a "lightworker" I suppose) but I want to add your teaching to it as well. It's a good way of grounding yourself before you start with everything else. You are a beautiful soul and I feel blessed to find you. Love you! 💕
Chihiro Sen, I swear your name sounds Nihonjin. Thank you for accepting the smudging and clarifying your body and soul. We just don't do it enough to include in our well being. Hugs to you. Aishite Imasu. Navajo Grandma
Thank you so much family. Mother earth. I love you all
Thank you too and may your gratitude be a blessing in your life all thru this year. Navajo Grandma
Dear Grandma, dear Heart, this ads a new dimension to my smudging. I am so grateful!
Linda, what wonderful words and that it does add a new dimension to your smudging. This is the Dine' (Navajo) way of smudging. It was the Medicine man who used a feathered fan, eagle feather fan, during a ritual to smudge the ill person. Mainly ours was to use our hands and it has always been like that and using what was in our environment. Thank you for understanding. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
thank you for your message of love and positivity, its needed more and more these days!
We need to drench ourselves in self empowerment, self love and self acceptance, then giving that out as a gift to all. Yes indeed the world is going to get worse, we need to prepare and survive. That is why this year's theme is Survival. Its every facet of our personal lives and with our family and friends, neighbors, strangers on and on. We need to give hope and have hope in order to give it out. So much starts with ourselves and blaming belongs no where. Hugs and loves from Navajo Grandma. Great comment!!! Love it.
Will stay strong and carry that message forward grandma! One thing I’d add to it would be to make sure that the self love is genuine. A lot of us aren’t really honest with ourselves because it’s easier to say the problem doesn’t matter than put in the work to fix it, resulting in pain and sometimes self-hatred
@@jessepinkmeng1556 Jesse you hit the nail on the head. But lets not be foolish and pretend, let us truly put on the armor of God, be real, stand up to your failure, our enemies be it psychological, spiritual, secular or whatever, we can succeed in being "honest," with ourselves and with God. We can't hide nothing from Him. I love that. He knows me thru and thru. He still blesses me when I am less than I am, but I get up again and move onward. You gave such a wonderful comment and the reality we need to hear. Love and hugs to you. May we forgive ourselves first then move on. Right? Not easy but can be done. I know. Hugs always. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma Amen to that!
@@jessepinkmeng1556 Thumbs up. Gma
Thank you Grandma I needed to hear your words. bringing back the inner peace and confidence that my illness has shaken loose from me. May you walk in beauty . Peace
Love your name, remain strong, pray always, God hears your prayers, remain steadfast that you will heal and live. Grandma almost died, and without my own strength, prayers, faith, and knowing I would heal, I would not be here. Yes, walk in Hozho and Ke'. Love yourself, stand and walk, be strong and while doing so, bless your body, your legs, your heart and immune system, bless any medicinal things you are taking to be sanctified to your body to heal you. Never give up. Grandma prays for each and everyone of you daily, nightly, for only God knows your specific needs and grandma opens that door for Him to help you. Hugs always. Navajo Grandma
You are a great spirit of the land a chosen person, your spirit is a ancient one, you will endure for ever, your a blessed person,
My goodness Lecia you blessed grandma with such great Hozho. Thank you so much (Ahehee). Thank you and thank you again. Hugs galore. Navajo Grandma
I smudge my home and Home Based Business regularly.
I have White Sage and Sweet Grass.
Melissa I read this with such happiness. You are just a wonderful soul to do this. Such a wonderful protection and opening for goodness and success!!! Hugs. Navajo Grandma
I love you so much!!!! I left home 6 years ago. And I was raised just like this. Early mornings with my nalis. And cheii!!!!chemistry!!!!! Shi MA Shani. 🙏🏾 I bought some ceder and I moved into a new home. I was fired from a job. I was blessed with a home but loss my job!! But I still get up early in the AM, & pray. Thank you so much!!! 💓 A'he'hee!!!
Goodness and you are wonderful to be praying every morning and remaining strong as your Nali and Chei did. Great DNA who taught you all that you would need during trying times like this. Grandma will pray for you and your prosperity. Remember God knows your situation and i hope you will find hope in that and ask for help from Him and tell him you have faith in Him. He knows. Love you and have courage and await your wonderful blessings. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
My next videos will involve defining myself, a sober one, then excitedly moving towards Grandma shearing a sheep for you all. This is an opener with videos on the weaving loom, rugs, carding and spinning dowel with weaving accessories. Its getting exciting to learn more about Dine' textile. Please watch and learn. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
You are just the best! I love this. I am a person of faith. I love hearing others.
@benjeanettebooth1800 SO happy to hear. I hope you take your new lease on life seriously. Start again with a clean slate, having forgiven yourself & others and knowing you matter, you are needed and wanted. You are a child of God so much is expected to the person to whom much is given. Pray always. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
Thank you beautiful Grandma. We had such hard times when I was a child... Raised by a single mother and my grandmother who was taking care of all of us on her own through her illness. It was so hard but the blessings were so big. The love was so big. Those days have made us strong and I feel so grateful because like your daughter said... I appreciate everything now.
Thank you so much for your beautiful energy and beautiful kindness and sharing. I lost my grandmother in 2005 ... She was my best friend...and listening to this brings joy and comfort. Thank you beautiful woman... You are a gem. Many blessings to you and your family🤍🕊️
I can tell by listening to you that you did endure with learning, love and appreciation because how else can you show that to Navajo Grandma unless you do appreciate, love and learn. Hugs to you. Paw, paw, paw at the past to never repeat it but to move forward with positivity. Love you. Navajo Grandma
I love you thank you so much for what you’re doing to help others!
@@TiffaneyEdwards-s1v I thank you for this kind compliment. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Thank you for this beautiful video/channel you made! I clicked on this video for other perspectives on sage🙏🏽😇💕 I’m glad I’m not the only native that believes in Christ and is able to be one with source! My family (Zuni) shunned me once for believing in Christ and I was homeless, nobody to talk to about how Christ is helping me. But I was able to find my inner self 💖 now I’m able to actually speak & listen to my ancestors / Christ, I am a shaman ❤️🥰 I had to learn everything on my own through experience. I am glad you have this channel to teach other’s to love & be with spirit 😇🙏🏽 keep up the great work ✨ Namaste 🙏🏽
Hi Jaz, boy you have been on a life’s journey. You must be quite the soul and spirit chosen to heal and bless others. Interesting. Gma has been cussed out by native Americans for my belief in Christ. Sad their grandparents never taught them how our native American ancestors walked and talked with Christ. We knew of Him long before any boats or Christians set foot here on this land. Thus those who holler that I entertain colonialism shows their lack of personal ancestral knowledge. Thank you for your wonderful comment and your testimony and faith in our Savior and Redeemer. This faith and knowledge sets you apart from the world. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
Yes, it has been quite a journey I can tell you that! Lol. Still a long journey. I’m sorry you were yelled at, nobody should ever be treated in a harsh manner. I’m glad u got through it ❤️ we are both strong women with our battle suits and will keep fighting for Christ! 💪🏽 thank you once again for your love grandma, as we say in Zuni (wó wó) 🤗💕 many hugs & blessings to you & your family! 🙏🏽✨Namaste 🥰
@@jazdelamor KESHHI, Grandma loves you Jaz. I guess I didn’t tell you, my paternal grandfather (my NALI) married a Zuni, thus my Dine’ clan is Naashte’zhi which means Zuni. She was my Bizhi who died when my dad was 2 years old in 1920’s. Gpa (NALI) remarried to a Dine’ woman my Bizhi whom raised me and is my heart. Just an fyi. I was there at Zuni when the old pueblos were still intact, just like Taos Pueblo, Jemez Pueblo use to be. No more. I am grateful that my eyes saw or have seen when the pueblos were still the way they were anciently. Beautiful in their regalia on a daily basis, speaking their language, singing, keeping with traditions that were treated as holy as they were meant to be. I ran thru the streets and played with other Zuni children, so fun as well as in Jemez Pueblo and Taos Pueblo as they once were. I long for those days when feast days wasn’t just eating, it was the kind acts of giving to all and strangers who came to participate. It was a form of family you found and those days are now long gone. Now, Pueblos chase you out and yell at you if you walk their streets, throw their dish water or bucket of water thrown on strangers, nasty words said in English, even when you buy their wares. It never was like that. Maybe in my innocence I saw and believed that kindness would always remain. As back then the pueblos knew my NALI & Bizhi for her weaving & trading. We were always welcomed in Zuni as my fathers mother came from there, now folks shun you to talk to you. It’s just gone. I have always treated these pueblos with love, I have gone to the homes of the posterity of those gone brought meat, fruit, corn as the corn fields are small now and only for their families, I bring chili, fruits that are beautifully grown by true growers that are not riddled with chemicals. Yet they laugh at me when I tell them of their grandparents who were welcoming n traded with my NALI. They take it and stare at me as if I am stupid for doing this kindness. Once I asked if I could purchase an oven bread in remembrance of when I was a child, how wonderful it tasted, I was told, “this is for our family, we do not sell it” as they have the pile of food I reverenced to give them in front of them. I left and wept in the car. I do not go there anymore. We drive thru I tell gpa about where I use to play as we drive thru all these pueblos and leave the pueblos to themselves. How utterly sad. I miss the old days. They say toward the end of time before our Savior returns many hearts will become hardened and cold and I see that in the present horrible Biden Government in my Navajo Nation and abroad thru out the lands and other countries. But thru it all I seek to be a good woman filled with the love and giving with kindness as I was shown by our ancestors, grandparents of old in the pueblos and eastern Navajo Agency in NM. We need to be a kind representative for and of Christ as our grandparents were. So long of a response but I am sure you understand unlike most. Hugs always from Navajo Grandma…Ahehee. Elahkwa.
What a lovely, positive, uplifting video , your warmth comes through, thank you for sharing ❤
Honestly, it's your love, your spirit that you have within you. You are recognizing this because it's not Navajo Gra6. It is you. You are recognizing yourself. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Thank you for sharing your wisdom and guidance with us Grandma. I wish you and your family a very beautiful, prosperous, and fruitful 2021. May all the blessings the Creator has to give be sent to you.
You sure are welcome and Aheehe’ to you. I send you loads of Hozho. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Thank you darling Grandmother!!
You are welcome my darling granddaughter. Happy you are watching grandma's videos. Remember you are made of sacred energy. You have the power to ruffle that energy toward healing or negativity. It is also a blessing that you can energize yourself instead of drinking caffeine or things not good for your body. I love the options we have to care for our emotional, psychological, spiritual well being thru energy. Happy healing hugs. Navajo Grandma
What a kind and personal response Grandmother!! You have touched my ♥️ heart!
I needed to hear this today, thank you so much. I'm a daughter who's taking care of her mother the roles have reversed and I am honored to be doing it.
Thank you Grandma. ✨
Grandma loves you for giving service to your mother. Mothers tend to our every need as a child or we really wouldn't be alive. Later in life the roles do reverse and that is when it at times can be challenging as some mothers are set in their ways, honoree, but you have to see why as they are use to being themselves, alone, and all we do is to give unconditional love, listen, remain hopeful to them with also dressing them, or whatnot. Not an easy role but you will remember this as a blessing when your mother decides its time to move on and passes away. Smudge with strength, prayer, understanding, health, wisdom, patience, etc. Love you. Navajo Grandma
Grandma. You are wonderful.thankyou.
Well actually I am wonderful to you because you are and I only reflect what good ness you possess. Navajo Grandma
Thanks Grandma! ❤️ I hope you have a great 2021 as well!
JuriAmari thank you for blessing me with your Hozho for this year. Right back at you from Navajo Grandma
You mentioned Cedar, I am from the Cedar Valley, Iowa. I miss the River
The statement regarding using Cedar to smudge with is what I was referring to. If there is Cedar where you are from then go gather some. Grandma
Thank you for your channel. I am Métis Cree and lately have been struggling so much to find balance between traditions/ceremonies and the teachings of the church. My family is Catholic and I have struggled for years with the role Jesus and the Christian God played in the history of First Nations people, I just added the book you recommended to my shopping cart. Thank you for your recommendation I hope it clarifies things for me!
He did walk among us. I have been baptized into a church, but I do believe since we haven't been able to go to church, My testimony of Jesus Christ became my total foundation, not the church building and the people who go there in clicks and snub each other because one has more than the other. It happens in my church all the time. I was always puzzled, hey didn't you teach about Christ on Sunday, why do you think I am a scab now because I am Native? Never understood, but thanks for the pandemic, I realized it is Christ who we worship, not the churches, not the leaders, but Christ as He is literally the son of God. Remember also, there are Bishops, and teachers in the gospel, remember this, no matter how high of a calling they have, know this: "we will not hold any position even if we were the President of the USA, A Prime Minister, the Cardinal, "we will be judged as individuals, as sons and daughters of God, our titles will be nothing when we pass through the veil into the spirit world and when we stand before God." So as pompous as those are who have great callings in churches, boy do they have it coming if they are not living up to their callings that supposedly is to bless the sick and afflicted, help the needy, the homeless, etc. Most people become prideful and disgusting not the leaders they are suppose to be. Sorry, my church is full of these. I haven't gone to church for 4 to 5 months and have never had a greater testimony of Jesus Christ than ever before and even more. I read the scriptures, I pray, I serve my community, I love my family, make amends, repent, and follow Jesus Christ and I do what He did to the best of my ability. For this I love the Pandemic. It defined for me whom we all worship, Jesus Christ the son of God. How absolutely wonderful. Hooray for the pandemic in that sense. While everyone is running back to church, buying new clothes to look better in front of their neighbors, to back bite, to pretend they are saints, etc., I am happily home with my Savior and closer to Him than ever. Now if I know I am needed for some reason to be at church, or to go to the Temple, I will. But not to wear my shiny shoes and look better than others. Sorry, that is all I saw. Sick. But true. I love my Savior, Jesus Christ, I so look forward to seeing him again during the Second Coming. He did walk among us and he taught us how to use nature to bless and heal us and for sustenance. My grandfather taught this to me as his ancestors knew of the 12 apostles and they have Dine' names for them, they describe the crucifixion to the T and and know where our ancestors came from and how they came to this Turtle Island. I know these things I learned from my ancestors to be true, I can not ever deny it. I know Jesus Christ is my Savior, He is the son of God, the Holy Ghost bears witness of all truth to us. They are so important. It is through them we all shall have eternal life. Truly. Amen. My hugs and love to you as you come to yourself. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma Thank you for your reply, very beautiful and poetically spoken. Yes, the hypocrites in most churches definitely deter me from attending i just worship on my own terms.. I thank you for your wisdom and kindness
🧩 the natural way is walking in the land and letting the grass , tree's and plants smudge the animals live in smudging 😊
Daniel it is appreciated what you commented, but here my subscribers wanted me to address smudging. What you are speaking of is Hozho. The pathway of "peace, beauty, balance & harmony." This is what you are describing and perfect in walking barefoot on Mother Earth, feeling, sensing, surrendering oneself to the peace and beauty of nature and this does bring balance & harmony to the spirit and body. You got it spot on. Thank you. Navajo Grandma
Hi grandma again thanks 🙏lost Navaho ✨️🌄
Oh sweet one but YOU ARE FOUND!! No more lost. Grandma loves you. Navajo Grandma
Beautiful, calming and spiritual! I've been doing kinda wrong,there is so much misinformation about smudging/not all "new age,witchy shops are created equally-im white European woman🙉 Thank you,bless you.
Love to you all 💗
Keep it simple dearest one. Keep it simple. My wisdom and my ancestors wisdom, and that is what always works. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Thank you GrandMa
Thank you for watching and I pray you realize how important it is to ruffle away all negativity from within and out. Scientists have come to realize this is true. So bring on positivity and joy and a bring new lease in life for you. Enjoy your beginning of the rest of your life. Smile and be amazing as you are. Navajo Grandma
You remind me so much of my grandmother she was wise and beautiful like you. I didn’t grow up knowing much of native heritage but have always been deeply drawn to it. Thank you for sharing you have a new subscriber here.
Hi Colored Caboose, welcome and welcome again, a new grandchild! Continue to watch, learn and enjoy. I tell everyone it doesn't need to be your culture, we are all ready to learn and increase our circle of knowledge and should be. Thank you for subscribing. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma I am about 40 percent it’s a long story though. Loving your teachings !🤗
i feel you. i know the struggles you went through. my mother trying to raise five boys alone on welfare. with little to no food and the end of the month. the hand downs of clothes. the appreciation does grow on you. your whole vid made me feel more grateful and a piece of home.with much blessings, E.
Smudging does work and it is a way of moving our energy in ways to strengthen us and to purify the air with the juniper and smoke, it also teaches us that we can re energize our bodies thru movement of our own energy. We are made of energy and Godly energy. Our hands were created to be used to give upward movements of our hands to move bad energy away from our bodies. We Navajo people say pah pah pah as a way of saying move away and leave and welcoming in the goodness. I am so happy you watched this video. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
Thank you for your videos. This speaks to my soul. I love the practice of smudging, and Christ surely did walk among the people of this land. That’s not a story heard much these days. I appreciate your messages and teachings so much. Ahéhee’
Thank you my dear Seth, Grandma appreciates your faith, your spirit, understanding of Christ and what your comment said to my heart. I am happy to read your comment filled with Hozho. So very few speak in such a way too. Hugs always. Navajo Grandma
Thank you, very special-all the best to you and your family, New Zealand.
Hello all the way over to New Zealand!! I want to say something but I am probably going to say it wrong. So I am hollering and waving hello and that Navajo Grandma loves you and sending her love thru the air. LOL!! Thank you for watching and remember, paw paw paw, let it go, let all the negative leave and bring in the new, remember you new lease on life, forgive yourselves and pray always. So much life to live. Grandma loves you and remember you are needed and loved here. Hugs of aloha, kia ora, talofa and all the poly-fa's there. I blew it I know it. So ahehee from the Southwest. Hugs galore, Navajo Grandma
This is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing this blessing with us. ❤️
You are so welcome Katrina, pretty girl!! Just keep the negativity away and enjoy your positivity. Paw, paw, paw. always. Love you. Navajo Grandma
Thank you so much. I wanted to simply smudge my home and negative thoughts and memories. I now feel an abundance of appreciation of my situation that it's not all hopeless and that I'm loved. Thank you Xie Xie beautiful women ❤
Well Chris, yes, even if you didn't smudge, you can still created the energy of goodness, healing with faith, you can move your energy that you are made of and bring positive vibrations to fill within you and throughout your home. Pray always, that in itself is self empowering and do not forget this. Prayer with faith creates miracles that have not ceased. I know you can. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
I wish I could sit next to you and learn. This is the next best thing. Thank you very much. I am teaching my daughter the words. I plan to pass down this knowledge to my daughter and my nieces. My grandmother taught us a little bit and now your videos are such a blessing to us. Thank you
Welcome Aubrie, you are sitting next to me, as it were, Grandma is teaching you the skills to be strong in character, in spirit and to release the negative and find the happiness and peace we all desire. Thank you for watching my granddaughter. Hugs. Navajo Grandma

@@NavajoGrandma thank you I have not forgot about talking to u about finding out more about my Navajo and Acoma ancestry . been having kidney problem since 17th of Dec happens ever now and then.. On a income like everyone these days have a blessed week
I sat down to milk my goats and listen to a video on Smudging. My oldest daughter would like to help me smudge, something I do often, and I wanted to learn more to teach her more.
Now I am sitting here releasing so much I didn’t know How to let go of. I do not have much in the way of extended family but have always felt connected to my ancestors. This video filled me with many emotions. I cannot wait to share this with my children. I have 6 of them. we may not have much but we have so much with a little bit extra. We are so blessed. This video has truly made me feel like I will be ok. That I can heal the places in my soul that need it. I release it all. I love you. Thank you, grandma.
What a beautiful comment of releasing the old, the things that keep us down, realizing it, then letting it go. I like you didn't have much either and lately with this pandemic it feels like I am going thru it all again. We were doing so well before and now things are not the same but as we go through the days, thru prayer, thru releasing junk that use to reside within us, that we lighten our load, clear our minds, we gain hope and faith and a desire to be what we so desire and know that we can have success. Maybe not the success in many ways as the world sees it, but within our hearts, our spirit our homes, our individual selves, and a more positive outlook can get you through the days. It should have helped you make a garden, to toil in the soil with joy knowing the seeds germinate and mature then the wonderful fruit you will sow. There is joy is renewing yourself daily with a positive outlook even when you might not have enough, but what you do have you will realize is enough. We are God's children, how would he allow you to go hungry. It is said in Psalms that David speaks this, "I have lived a long life but never in this life have I ever seen a righteous man go hungry." Righteous meaning a humble heart, a kind heart, a forgiving heart, a heart and soul that gives God all power over his or her life and see the miracles of life, the joy and goodness in simplicity, not as the world sees it or knows it but what the spirit knows and gives within our individual selves our individual hearts. Life is good. Even in darkness there is goodness as you become the light and in the light you become the miracle worker lifting and blessing and loving, serving. Life is good. Keep this thought as you continue in this life. Pray always for safety, from sickness and ills, from negativity, empower yourselves with smudging, pure affirmations that is perfect for you individually. Know yourself and treat yourself kindly that it may become an extension to give out for those who need hope and love and service. On and on. Life is good. Hugs and love from Navajo grandma
@@NavajoGrandma my father learned much from his mentor, Eugene B Joe, a sand painting artist from the reservation. My father ended up going down a dark drug filled path I could not follow. But he did teach my some of the old traditions. I have always longed to know more,to be able to utilize the traditional ways and teaching in my everyday and learn pass it on to my children. finding all this wisdom from Navajo grandmas and grandpas has been helping me to heal. To be a better mother and human. I do not want the western medicines way of covering the trauma with a bandaid if you will. I would love the help and guidance of a healer. I never expected to find it on TH-cam. What an amazing world we live in.
Your words of wisdom are very important to me. I am listening. The time you took to respond to me is so appreciated. Thank you, Navajo grandma.
@@hoopnfarm This again is a wonderful comment that brings me joy. When you are ready for change and finally wake up to yourself, now remember few do, that you can move forward, first yourself before you can go beyond that. Clean your own yard first then help others along t he way. This is so important and forgiving yourself is huge in this process. No blame just forgive and accept it in your spirit and soul. When that happens you begin to understand the value of others. As you find how amazing and how precious and how important you are as an individual. That is the epic part of life. Then you value yourself and value others because you again value yourself. How cool is that God given process. I love it. I always say, do not make it hard. Keep it simple. Hugs always from Navajo Grandma
Thank you Diné Grandma for all your positive energy ❤️🌞
I was thinking about what you said regarding Jesus , and all tribes speaking of him , in the Mexica culture we called him Quetzalcoatl (feathered serpent )
He taught our people about art , Culture , language , among many other things.
I have also learned that this term was given to an individual(man/woman ) who possessed the highest of knowledge in the tribe, there have been many people of knowledge through time . I wonder if its connected somehow ? No one in my family knows anything about our traditions or even our people , still have so many other pieces of the puzzle to put together but I have noticed a lot of Similarities with the tribes and their stories here and there .
Blessings to you and your family 🤗
Thank you /Diosï meamo

Iris, your language is almost like a melody to say. Yes, I know the name you called Jesus Christ. He did walk the Americas, he did teach us all, every tribe, as when he was going back to heaven, so many tribal members wept. They didn't want him to leave, thus, he told them to bring forth their sick, maimed, ill, all who needed to be healed which they did and he healed them all. Then he spent time with them and taught them what you said about the herbs for sickness, health and well being, etc. Thus he went from tribe to tribe saying farewell, blessing them, teaching them, healing them, showing forth his great love and prayed for each of them. Our people were those whom he stayed with, ate with, cared about, how blessed are we? Very. I love my Savior as He is my God who created this world for us, for our learning and experience. Praised be His name, Jesus Christ. Because I do Native American genealogy research and have traveled the Continental USA, each tribe has their own stories, it is so heart warming and the familiarity is so powerful. Pray always and keep Him in your life for He is the one who is returning soon. Prepare to meet Him again. I so look forward to running to Him, to bath his feet with my tears, to thank Him for His life he gave to me, being my Redeemer, then feeling the prints of the nail prints in His hand, Feet and His side where the sword was thrust. I honor my Savior. I hope you feel my testimony of Him. Thank you sister Iris, for your precious comment. Hugs always. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma
Yes nana you’re right, the stories I’ve heard say he would return ,
your perspective is sooo beautiful and sincere ,
for a long time especially after I learned out what the church did to our people and many other indigenous peoples,I wanted nothing do with them or Jesus , I was so angry , honestly still am , but I am praying to grow and heal,
so that I may see things clearly and not through anger .. because I understand that anger is a poison .
I do believe In creator and now that I’ve heard many elders speak about the church and how a lot of our traditions were infused /hidden within the church itself so that our traditions would survive ,I realized that creator is god and that’s no matter what name we call him he is the same person our ancestors spoke of so because of this my heart is more at peace and my love for creator grows and grows . We are blessed to have had ancestors who walked and spent time with him and I hope maybe one day we will too 💛
Thank you again grandma for your sharing your beautiful soul and views I hope to be like you if I’m lucky enough to ever become a grandma 🙏🏽💖
It’s funny that you mention that because that’s exactly how I feel about our native languages haha it’s music to my ears 👂😊 have a blessed and beautiful day grandma 🌞

Thank you, Grandma. Does the juniper need to dried first? Thank you so much for this 🪶
Susan, no it doesn't but if it is it will fire up and just be careful. Get it on fire for the smoke, not the fire. Douse the flames and let it smoke. Thank you for asking. Happy Valentine's Day. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma great to know, thanks. We have a lot of Juniper here in Colorado, too. Happy Valentines Day 💝
Thank you, grandma❣️ I’ve been smudging for years. But this way that you do it, I tried it last night as my heart needed Lots of healing. What I most love was cleansing the eyes & the mouth and the ears so that we may see and hear and speak with kindness and gentleness, thank you for that 🙏🏽
To me it is a spiritual cleansing so important as it begets physical & psychological & physiological changes to renew, protect, cleanse our bodies. It also takes faith to believe what we do is truly a blessing we give ourselves. We empower ourselves with self cleansing & self love, care and a defense against negativity. So proud of you. I always do this too morning and thru the day, not always necessary to have smoke. As u r around negatively from others & so I ruffle the bad or negative energy out & away when I feel it or sense it, more times we don't realize it & carry it home with us. It's also a way of re energizing thru out the day when we work or just to renew our energies. Some drink coffee to re energize but I will not. Empowering ourselves is critical in this world that is stressful, negative, etc. It's a peaceful cleansing that is real & has positive cause & effects. Scientists found this out. Energy is real of course within in us & we have the power to move it, remove it or to gain it. Thank you my dear one for your faith. Keep it up. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
Thank you for sharing these teachings 🙏🏽@@NavajoGrandma
@@ShiatsuCeci Thank you sweet one, I am happy to do so for our spiritual and secular well being in every aspect. Hugs with pah pah pah, Navajo Grandma
Thankyou for your wise advice ❤
thank you for stopping by and learning, hearing and hope you understand. Smudging is a powerful act and cleansing. I don't always use herbs or juniper etc. I smudge with my hands and ruffle my energy and calm and help my body in this way. When I am exhausted I do this and restore energy. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
God bless you and thank you for this message! I’m Cherokee and my mom never was taught the customs. When I see videos like yours it feels like home to me even though I was not taught Native ways.
My heart feels so blessed to have found your videos and I really needed to see this one.
I’m a believer in Jesus Christ and many have different opinions on Native Americans and our Father in Heaven.
Thank you so much for teaching that both are desperately needed in our lives.
God bless you Grandma!
