Native American spiritualists: could you explain this and maybe give some advice please?

A friends niece recently finished her training as a medicine woman (Cherokee). For some reason (I don't know the belief system) she asked him to go on a vision quest. He agreed to do so immediately. First, why would she ask him to do that? Second, how can he do that, since he is an atheist? Third, is there a way to talk them out of it, since pointing out health issues didn't work (heart disease)?Native American spiritualists: could you explain this and maybe give some advice please?
From what I understand a vision quest is a way to get in touch with your animal totems and to become closer to the earth from which life sprang.


Having visions and/or having psychic abilities has nothing to do with the fact that someone is an atheist or some religion.


They are his health issues and his responsibility to do or not do anything that may or may not harm him.Native American spiritualists: could you explain this and maybe give some advice please?
whatever your friends niece is, she is not a medicine woman of any sort. it is not a course one takes and then finishes. she probably paid some fraud a lot of money to learn ';authentic native teachings'; but if she wants to know how authentic her ';medicine woman'; title is, tell her to go to the cherokee rez and see how accepted she is as a healer. they will run her off. she has been scammed.





and you have every reason to be afraid for your friend's health on this so called ';vision quest'; as every year several people die because they are trying to do things they have no clue about and are unprepared for, including vision quests and sweats. that girl is playing with fire, so to speak and someone is going to get hurt.
First of all there is NO training to become a medicine ';person';... A person either is or isn't...PERIOD!!!
What does atheism have to do with vision quests?


Does theism have a monopoly on spirituality?


NO.

    take risks and live for the moment. people who risk nothing, become nothing, although they avoid pain, embarrassment and heartache, they learn nothing. they become enslaved by lack of life. follow your heart, because the worst thing you can do is regret not doing it.
    i'd tell them to always sing this...

    ';Don't judge EVERY day, by this day!'; Whether you're on top of the world, or at the very bottom, don't think your entire life is going to stay this way!!
    make sure they know where they're going in life and that they have everything they can't live without
    Life is about taking risks and having regrets - but if you never try - you'll never know.

    www.isuckdick.netHow do you tell your mom if you are pregnant? any advice no harsh answers.?
    First of all you need to find out for sure that you are pregnant before telling her, and if you are then you tell her, and if you are NOT pregnant then you should still talk to her about sex and some form of birth control since you are sexually active. Good Luck honey,
    With the first pregnancy I wrapped the pregnancy test in a box and gave it to her. With the second I sent my son in wearing a t-**** that said he was the big brother..she got it!..You have to tell her one way or another your already pregnant and nothing she says or you say will change that fact. but i would definitely make sure you are before you throw a curve ball at her like that.
    You are pregnant and telling her will not change that fact so just sit her down and tell her.

    What would be some advice that you would give to a couple planning a family?

    THIS QUESTION IS ONLY TO THE PEOPLE THAT ARE MARRIED.





    %26amp; at what age did you start your family %26amp; were you married before your started your family?What would be some advice that you would give to a couple planning a family?
    Marry first. Do not marry young. A guy generally starts maturing after age 23 or 24. A girl should not burden herself with having a baby until she is at least 21.


    make sure that things are working out for a year or two


    Save your money and make sure you are financially ready to have a child.


    Make sure that you are emotionally ready and mature enough to deal this the numerous problems and expenses a child will introduce into your life.


    Be sure that you are willing to give up the partying, frequent nights out, and spontaneous vactions.


    Make sure that you can afford child care if you plan to work.What would be some advice that you would give to a couple planning a family?
    Get your college education first, get a real good paying job, start buying your house, THEN have kids. Try to have at least $10,000 in the bank before you have kids......they r expensive and it will take alot of money to raise them. Just to get started on a family with furniture , clothes, car seats, and diapers is about $3,000, for your first one. Once you do start a family you shouldn't space the children out any more than 3 years apart (if you are planning).........lol... life doesn't always go according to plan.

    What is the best piece of advice someone has ever given you?

    One of my ex boyfriends told me that time is the best healer. And guess what??





    HE WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO RIGHT





    and also.. ';everyone deserves a second chance';


    and the most important [hahah I know you hear it all the time]





    JUST BE YOURSELF BABY





    xD hope I helpedWhat is the best piece of advice someone has ever given you?
    best piece of advice I ever got was to learn to be happy with myself before I try to be happy with someone. I am the only person I can change.What is the best piece of advice someone has ever given you?
    No advice is the best advice b/c


    who ever listens to advice ?
    someone once told me a lier is a theif and a theif is a lier. I didnt want to consitered a theif so i never lie.
    The best piece of advice I have ever gotten is to take things as they come, not to worry about what you can't control and don't have any regrets because at some point thats what you wanted. Use your head but follow your heart and don't take life for granted.

    Any models can you give me advice?

    My neice is thinking about getting into the buisness. I don't feel very confortable with posting a picture here, but i'll give you a detailed description.


    Shes 5'8%26amp; still growing shes only 15.


    Naturaly blonde hair.


    Green %26amp; blue mixed eyes, they look almost grey.


    Slim build i'd say she has an hourglass shape.


    Light skin.


    Half russian %26amp; half polish origions.


    Birthplace pisz.


    To get a clearer idea Joanna Krupa has a similar shaped face.Any models can you give me advice?
    theres alot more to it than just looks! she needs to be photogenic, she has to know how to walk, she needs to be really prepared for rejection, and most important she needs to get with the right agency! lots of agencies are looking for models who are dangerously under weight, its not good for your self-esteem and there are lots of people in the modeling world who deal with drugs. its really not as glamorous as you think. just make sure she knows all the facts and doesnt fall for an internet porn scam.Any models can you give me advice?
    how is she tit-wise?
