Animal Totems and Spirit Guides

Picture
"It is impossible to obtain our potential as humans without an inter-relatedness to animals and nature. The natural world opens us to silence in order that we may hear beyond ourselves. It is essential to our wholeness. Without it, we would not grow emotionally or spiritually. It is this spiritual dimension that allows us to reach out beyond ourselves, seek our life's work and take pleasure in this work.

Peoples of the past saw animals as a symbol of power and nurturance and surrounded themselves with animals in order to feel safe. We who have enjoyed the companionship of animals in our everyday lives, who witness them in nature, or who have seen them in the lives of others, know for certain the profound effect they have on us. Animals teach us about life, suffering and death. They provide for us a space where we can feel safe and be alone, a place where we can cultivate the contemplative part of ourselves."

As Albert Schweitzer said, "We are united to all life. From this knowledge comes our spiritual relationship with the universe."

Mother Hildegard George

Niall returns with a calming tribute to the Great Indigenous People of North America.
Native American Nights is a beautiful relaxing album that invites the listener to a place of tranquility around the camp fire under a wondrous starry night sky.

Featuring authentic native flutes and soft skin drums actually made by the Blackfoot Tribe, Native American Nights also includes subtle natural sounds (distant thunder, wolves, gentle river) authentic chants, along with gently picked acoustic guitars and ethereal keyboard textures.
