"The Healing Power of Song"

Here on the Life of a Dog on the Rez Podcast, we share our beautiful culture, language, stories and traditions of the Pueblo people and things that shape our world.  Even before our emergence of the people from the third world of Shipap, the people used the power of music and song to pass on ancient knowledge, understandings, history and teachings that healed the mind, body, spirit and soul.  Central to our spiritual life is the belief that everything in the universe is interconnected—people, animals, plants, and even the elements. This interconnectedness is expressed through our songs, and serves as a direct connection to our mothers that gave the people life in the under world.  In our Pueblo understanding, songs are not just a form of artistic expression; but are sacred tools for healing and balance. Every song is intentional, whether it's to bring rain, ensure a successful hunt, or heal the body, mind and soul. These songs are passed down through the generations, each carrying the wisdom and prayers of our ancestors, so sit back, open your heart and join me on this journey of the healing power of song.
