torchholder is Here!

torchholder - welcome and thank you for bringing Tribal Spirituality to One Light Many Windows for beginners.  We look forward to getting to know you and having more two way communication.

Re: torchholder is Here!

Thanks, You have been very supportive to me, and I am very grateful to all of the mods who have been helpful and considerate.

Most of the people on Gaia have worked on themselves, have people skills,
spiritual growth, are educated beyond the norm, are successful in life and business, and are generally about average to the general population.

Gaia is several tiers above other sites. Its about personal growth, not about mindless socializing and dating, or we vs them, or a niche clique of misfits.
Tribal Spirituality was my breakthru to God, my real connection and re-birth,
and I want to share that with my brothers and sisters.

My first sharing was an added topic, tribal spirituality, on One light many windows. I am happy with what I have put up so far, but much more needs to go in there.

I started a group, called Tribal Ways - Native Spirituality, and I am adding what I already had in Tribal Spirituality, plus I am adding sections on the 7 plus Sacred
Rites of the Lakota, given to them by a woman or spirit woman they call “white buffalo calf woman”. Personally, I think she was a holy woman from an unknown tribe, whose tribe felt the need to share these sacred rites with other tribes.

Wovoka, the Holy man, brought the Ghost Dance to other tribes because he had a powerful vision, and felt it necessary to share it with all peoples.

Native Americans have a similar world view to Tibetan Buddhists, a natural way,
and although their focus on the Creator is different, they are very compatible.

The videos are naturistic and meditative and spiritual, and very soothing.
I welcome anyone to visit Tribal Ways - Native Spirituality

love, peace, hope, wisdom, and happiness

Re: torchholder is Here!

Torchholder, delighted to see you here. I wanted to provide a link to your group and found it listed under Groups   -New and Interesting -

TRIBAL WAYS - NATIVE SPIRITUALITY

If you link it to your profile, people will be able to find it that way as well. I look forward to sharing this journey with you.

Re: barblovesroses is Here!

Hello Everyone, and thank you for the warm welcome you have given to me and also to my husband, Torchholder as we have both started our groups here on Gaia!
I started my group, Living with Chronic Pain, when I saw a need for something like it here as I saw there really wasn't anything of its nature on Gaia at this point.  There are so many different pain conditions out there and people suffering from them who need a place to come for support.  If there is one thing Gaia is great at doing its giving support to its members!

My group description pretty much says what my group is about so I'm going to repost it here:

Many of us live with  pain conditions be it fibromyalgia, MS, RSD, rheumatoid or osteo arthritis, migraine disease, back pain or myriad other conditions that cause severe often disabling chronic pain.

This forum is a place for us to come discuss the issues that relate to living with these conditions in a safe supportive environment - issues like problems with medical personnel, insurance hassels, medication problems, family/support person(s) problems/resolutions, and even successes we have come up with that may help others who are going thru the same things we have so that others may benefit from what we have learned.

It is my hope that we can learn much from each other along this journey we are travelling in our chronic pain conditions and that our suffering can have benefit to others even as we endure it ourselves.


If you or someone you care about relates to this consider joining Living with Chronic Pain. http://groups.gaia.com/chronicpain

Re: Welcome New Members

welcome, Welcome, WELCOME!  One and all.  Missy, Chamath, Roamer, Phoenix, Barblovesroses, and Torchholder – I look forward to getting to know each of you better.

And THANK YOU ~KES (Kathy) for weaving this beautiful tapestry.

Re: Welcome New Members

Joining in the welcoming chorus, for friends old and new – do let us know about the groups you cultivate, moderate and enjoy being members of. There are resources in different rooms, as we all learn to cultivate and moderate groups on this fascinating tapestry of Gaia.

Re: Welcome New Members -- Missy is Here!

Wow..thanks Kathy!  ;-)  I will do what I can here…not sure what that is???  I have been feeling a bit of a void lately and praying for answers, then, along came your invite…hmmmmmm….

Re: Welcome New Members

A warm welcome to Missy, Chamath, Roamer, Phoenix, Barblovesroses, and Torchholder. It is a wonderful feeling to be together in this journey.

Re: Welcome New Members

BIG welcome to everyone…feeling the beautiful energies coming in as the Gaia community expands in love and light

Love Tai

Re: Welcome new members!

Happy to have your presence here, Missy, Chamath, Matija, Roamer, Phoenix, Barblovesroses, and Torchholder. 

I was and still am a supporter of Space Colonization…but even more now, I'm a fan of Inner Space Colonization. I think that is what we're doing here on GAIA.

It's a joy to have all you wonderfully unique, Kosmic selves in this new colony of Evolutionary Emergent Radiance. This is the place where mere 'connecting' changes the world for the better, one connection at a time.

Be the Change!
Cheers All,
Doug

Re: Welcome new members!

Hard to believe there wasn't already a group about that, Barb. Wishing you great success with your most worthy endeavor!

Blessings, OM Bastet

Re: Welcome new members...!

I really want to take time out and thank you all for contributing to the motion. This week we are going to go over some of the threads on training and streamlining Gaia.  
Meantime, feel free to browse the rooms and try out some of the tricks like linking or adding your favorite youTube among the threads so we can help make things standard on how the devs have laid out interacting on Gaia.

Re: Welcome new members!

Thank you Bastet - If there is anyone here who would like an invitation let me know!

Its also a group that can give support to family members supporting people suffering from chronic pain as well, so I would imagine just about everyone knows someone who would fit into a category of having to deal in some way with chronic pain. 
Plus, when you consider how we are aging - rapidly becoming a society of older citizens, you can imagine how many more of us are going to be experiencing conditions where pain is going to be an issue for us, and learning to cope with pain is going to be a major major part of our lives.

Off topic, does your sign on name 1Vector3 have anything to do with aviation??? (my ex husband was a pilot, and looking at it i am reminded of  aviation related terms - forgive me if I am wrong).

Re: Welcome new members!

Hi Barb, Bastet is kinda my last name, and most people here call me OM as in Home. No, actually 1Vector3 is a spiritual term, having to do with kinds of souls and their soul tasks. Vector 3 are the Improvers rather than the Creators. And I am 1 of Vector 3 kind of soul.

I hope through your group people receive great support and also learn some of the very effective ways to manage pain. True, more people will be experiencing challenges with pain, and also true I think that more effective ways to prevent and deal with pain will be developed.

Blessings, OM
