What does Belandu - Native American Indian healing involve?
Native American Indian healing combines spirituality and herbal medicine to treat illness, where massage is introduced to stimulate the oxygen flow into the blood stream. Before massage is initiated, the healer stresses the importance of balance and harmony between the body and spirit in order to maintain good health, including deep breathing and a good positive relationship with the community, which provides for social interaction with the external world.
The Belandu belief is that illness results from spiritual imbalances both within the individual and between the individual and the community. Therefore, a strong adherance to and dependence on medicine men and women, or shamanic healers, is practiced in order to fight illness and disease. Constant contact with one's spirit guides and reverence to the Great Spirit (Ogua) for healing and well being are a fundamental way of life.
Belandu Native American Indian tradition focuses on four elements of healing:
1. Symbolic ritual: the use of drums and chanting to enlist the aid of the spiritual world.
2. Shamanic healers: chanting and saging for purification.
3. Restoration of the body and spirit: deep breathing, drinking of teas and fasting to rid the body of
impurities and restore a spiritually pure state.
4. Use of herbs with massage: herbs within a fermented rubbing solution are introduced via massage with
the placement of stones on the body for the concentration and promotion of healing.
How does Native American Indian methodology treat symptoms of illness or control pain where conventional treatments have failed?
Spiritual communication, meditation and deep breathing may reduce stress and anxiety, bring about peace of mind and produce a sense of wholeness among patients. Native American Indian knowledge of herbs is extensive. Meditation, deep breathing and herbs can relieve pain faster and avoid the side effects caused by prescription drugs or other conventional treatments.
