All healing is about SELF-healing. You do not heal
another; rather, you create a space in which healing transformation can take place. |
| |
|
| 2 |
Healing is not the same as curing. Healing is
restoration of wholeness. |
| |
|
| 3 |
Be 100 percent PRESENT when you enter that space
with another. Leave ego, personal concerns, and judgments at the door.
Imagine taking your shoes off. |
| |
|
| 4 |
Introduce yourself, recognize that you are a guest,
even though you may be treated as the one in charge. Remember, you are
NOT in charge. |
| |
|
| 5 |
Center yourself, take time to breathe, and sit in
silence before you begin to play. |
| |
|
| 6 |
INTENTION is everything. Recognize your intention
with each breath. |
| |
|
| 7 |
Let go of any and all attachment to outcome; have no
expectations. |
| |
|
| 8 |
Do not take anything personally; this is NOT about
you. If your offer to play is declined, remember that you are the guest
and leave graciously. |
| |
|
| 9 |
Sound is VIBRATION and energy. The listener will be
affected. |
| |
|
|
10 |
Sound carries. Play softly, and behind closed
doors, when possible. |
| |
|
|
11 |
Offer a choice when you can. Carry low, medium and
high range flutes. Most individuals do not want really high-range flutes,
although this isi not always the case. |
| |
|
|
12 |
Offer a choice of tempo and style, if you can, to
match the listener’s mood. Slow and low is often the safest and wisest
choice to engage the listener. |
| |
|
|
13 |
Support the listener by staying in the
“now.” It is acceptable to ask, “How is this for you? |
| |
|
|
14 |
It is acceptable to cry. It is okay to sit in
silence. |
| |
|
|
15 |
Trust your intuition. Listen to that still, small
voice within. |
| |
|
|
16 |
Be very aware of your breath, and LISTEN to what you
play. |
| |
|
|
17 |
It is not necessary to engage in conversation, but
if you do, know why that you do. |
| |
|
|
18 |
Remember that this is not about you as ego; rather,
it is about you creating a space for another. |
| |
|
|
19 |
Be the conduit through which the spirit of breath
flows out and manifests into healing sound. |
| |

The Native Flute is a powerful transformative tool;
use it with care and clarity. |
