Ancient Ones - Aboriginal (Australia) spiritual ways, gifts to the World

In keeping with a recent Sacred journey to Sedona and the Black Hills with Guruji-Ma and those with Light Omega who accompanied this journey, I found article about Aboriginal (Austraila) relationship with the Earth carried for tens of thousands of years, by ancient ones.  The article is in part about an "Aboriginal elder and mubarrn, meaning “medicine” or 'lore' man in the local Noongar language", Joey Williams, and ancient practices of healing in connection with the earth.  I honor the spirit of the Elders and the Peoples who have been here on the Earth upholding the Ancient Ways, in Sacredness, in particular places on the Earth since before recorded time.  I feel kinship with those-who-came-before-us, and immense gratitude.

The author of the article, Bonita Grima writes: "to... indigenous Australians, the land is very much alive, with songlines (cultural memory codes that hold knowledge of a place and define the responsibilities attached to kinship and lore) scattered across its skin."

Ms. Grima describes her experience of the healing work of Joey Williams - the songs he sings, the honoring the earth that is in the songs, the rituals and ceremonies and connection with the earth central in the healing.  Some of the things Joey Williams says: "I only have to listen to you for half an hour and I know you.'" "We’re all made up of vibration. It’s connected at birth through the umbilical cord. It’s the essence of who we are.”  (See the article for description of the author's experience.)

Here also are words of Elder Miriam-Rose Ungunmerr-Baumann - an Aboriginal activist, educator and artist from Australia’s Northern Territory.  Ms. Grima writes about her experience of the healer's gifts, quoting Miriam-Rose Ungunmerr-Baumann: "'Dadirri is the Aboriginal gift'  the world is thirsting for.  Meaning “inner deep listening and quiet still awareness” in her Ngangikurungkurr language, dadirri is a form of mindfulness and reciprocal empathy we can develop with the land, each other and ourselves, according to Ungunmerr-Baumann. “We call on it and it calls to us… It is something like what you call ‘contemplation’, she writes on her website. For indigenous Australians, this spiritual listening practice provides a way to observe and act according to the natural seasons and cycles in a way the modern world seems to have forgotten. 'We watch the bush foods and wait for them to ripen before we gather them. When a relation dies, we wait a long time with the sorrow. We own our grief and allow it to heal slowly'”.

Later in the article, Ms. Grima shares something further Miriam-Rose Ungunmerr-Baumann told her:“'You need to ask, who you are, why you’re here, where you’re going, We know who we are as Aboriginal people. It’s in our language, dreaming, country. We’re waiting for all people to listen and hear what we hear so that we can connect and belong together.'”
