- Опубликовано: 6 фев 2010
- A segment from "Vitality"...A television series about living a healthy and less stressed life. Today we learn how to pick wild sage...Elder Wilfred Buck also has some great advice for us about getting through those rough patches in life.
crying is the creators way of washing your eyes out so you get a better view of the path you are to travel, thank you, and best wishes
Crying is the 1st emotions one expresses at Birth. Our creator above hears our 1st cry. Our Mother Earth hears our 1st cry. When we pray, we thank the Creator and Mother Earth 1st. When we die, we go bck to Mother Earth who embraces us once more.
That's so loving and sweet.
Hi yes good point! Happy holidays!
I know why I cry sometimes on my drive to my job at the tribal office.
B
And don't pull it by the root.
We want it to be available for our children and our grandchildren... our great grandchildren..😁
Thank you, Mother Earth for the medicines you provide 🙏
👍😁
Native Indians deserve a lot of respect . I would love to spend some time with them.
yes so true its beautiful and full of wisdom i love it
respect to our ancestors from thousands upon thousands of many many moons. I would also love to know spend time and learn what is being neglected by many of us . deep blessing to all who see the sun rise and see the sun sleep
Me too!!! ... would love to spend time with them and get some knowledge
Natives deserve so much respect they have been thru so much history and love of the earth and all living things. I am also native Cherokee my native name is Ah Koh Ya
Hello!...
I am not an elder but anyone can smudge...but maybe the first time you do it give thanks to indigenous people's for the ceremony and thank mother earth for the medicines
you are an elder in training bro
It does not matter what you use to light to smudge! ;D Use what ya got on you at that moment when its needed! :D
Meh, my community doesn't enforce rules like that say if you're out in the middle of a city and need to smudge. If you need to smudge, just do it! LoL Its like trying to say you need to use a Paua/abalone Shell for it to be sacred. That was introduced by crazy New Age hippies that sell services they have no rights to. ;)
vitalitytv ... you got that right
first nations are so much like us here in the u.s.
Sage helped him to overcome drugs and alcohol. Sage and his indigenous native spirituality. Holistic
You Are Leaders HEALING
Idiot.
Wow, I couldn't help but cry to this... when he started talking about the sage, and how they consider it a living thing, and how you speak to it and tell it your intentions, and thank it. Then to actually give something back to the earth, (a give, receieve relationship, I take care of you, you take care of me, you wash my back, I wash your back.) God that's so deep. It just showed me how disconnected we've become, and how we really need to get back on that level. GO HUG A TREE BITCHS! Or maybe just go camping on the weekends.... :) Interestingly enough, this earth is a living organism that is a conscious being, with full and complete awareness of itself, and is capable of response to stimuli. Maybe there's actually something behind what some would call woo woo "hippie philosophy".
That is a common perception in almost every indigenous practices, including European. But it's always nice to see this kind of thing in a world that always seems so disconnected.
sKeM2k9 hawk yeah
just came across this after my 50th birthday this 03/01...tears in my spirit ...going to make a change
Abrahamic religions definitely killed the human relationship with the earth
@@flipayyy7584 WOW... what a revelation.😭
I wish I had elders guiding me in life
swooshsify - me too .. instead of fire breathing book readers.
@@1922Skidoo You are a moron. A complete moron.
James, do you feel better? You think youre putting other people down with your replies but i guarantee not one of your targeted victims felt anything but pity for you. Do yourself a favor and when a helping word of free advice comes around, dont pass it up and try to be grateful. Just a wild guess but im pretty sure there arent many willing to help you out. There's definitely a reason for that. And youre still at the stage that youre proud of yourself.
HAVING "JESUS" IN YOUR HEART & SOUL IS THE KEY, THE (INDIANS) ARE SMARTER THEN ANY OTHER PEOPLE ON EARTH, BECAUSE THEY HAVE ALWAYS ACKNOWLEDGE THE (LORD), & HE HAS LEAD THEM, AS WE ALL SHOULD!! SALVATION IS YOUR LEADER OF THE HEART & SOUL, PLEASE GET YOUR PEACE WITH "GOD", ASK FORGIVENESS & ASK HIM TO COME INTO YOUR HEART, YOU WILL BE A BETTER HUMAN BEING, & A SAVED ONE, BECAUSE YOU WILL HOLD "GODS" HOLY SPIRIT!!
GET SAVED & BAPTISTED..WASHING AWAY THE OLD LOST BODY & SOUL & WILL COME UP A NEW SAVED SOUL, "WASHED IN THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB"!!
AS HALF INDIAN & HALF IRISH, I AM LOVED BY MY LORD AS ALL OF US ARE, BUT "GOD" GIVES US A CHOICE, & THANKFUL I GREW UP IN CHURCH, I HAVE BEEN TRULY BLESSED & SAVED SINCE I WAS 16 YEARS OLD!! I AM PRAYING FOR YOU DEAR, GOD LOVES YOU, & HE KNEW YOU IN THE WOMB.. NONE OF US ARE PERFECT, WE WILL NEVER BE, BUT THAT'S WHY "JESUS" DIED ON THE CROSS, HE PAID OUR SIN DEDT IN FULL, THAT WE COULD SPEND ETERNITY IN HEAVEN WITH HIM, IF WE WILL TURN OUR HEARTS & LIVES OVER TO HIM, THEN SATAN CAN'T TOUCH US! IF WE DON'T EXCEPT "JESUS" , & WE CHOOSE SATAN, WE WILL LIVE ETERNITY IN HELL FIRE!!
SONG..
"THANK GOD I AM "FREE", "FREE", "FREE" FROM THIS WORLD OF SIN, WASH IN THE BLOOD OF JESUS, I'VE BEEN BORN AGAIN.... HALLELUJAH, I'M "SAVED", "SAVED", "SAVED", BY HIS WONDERFUL GRACE, I'M SO GLAD THAT I FOUND OUT & HE WOULD BRING ME OUT & SHOW ME THE WAY.....

I think we all needed an elder in life
I smudge myself every day & i'm an alcoholic, drug addict & i'm trying my best to better my life & so i could live longer.
Darrell Malcolm blessings to you on your journey! 💓
Fight the good fight man! Hope you cleanse your demons! I'll pray for you!
Hey Darrell...how are you doing?
Darrell Malcolm I am recovering from both, dope 14 years, alcohol 9 years..let me know if you ever need someone to talk to..
Darrell Malcolm Im proud of you. You can make it. Blessings
This is beautiful advice "make peace with your feelings and thoughts and all you carry inside..."
This story really hits me. My grandmother was Native American and her father migrated here from central Mexico. I come from a very broken family both my parents are addicts and my mother has never really opened up to me about her life growing up. I have some memories of my grandmother and my great grandfather. Unfortunately, she passed away 4 years ago before my son was born so I never really got to talk to her about her heritage. However; I moved to North Dakota when I was 21 and I lived on a reservation for about 2-3 years and I have to say that, it was life changing for me. I seen all walks of life while I was there. I learned so much and experienced so many things good and bad and it really opened my eyes to so many things. The energy in these places is so powerful that it is common for negative energies to grab onto you. Some of my craziest stories come from living on a reservation. But all in all I met some of the most amazing people and experienced a culture that I would have otherwise known nothing about and I’m very thankful. Til this day I still use the teachings I was taught, and even gift sage or other plants that I find to people who I feel could use it. I’m forever grateful for the kindness and wisdom that I received while I was there. It’s truly beautiful. ♥️
Much love Jr....
Omg your story 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽Native Americans are my real heroes. It’s painful what america history holds … and how miserably NA still live there in those reservations… I hope I would also have some chance in my life meet native Americans and visit their reservations and be helpful there. Thank you for sharing your story 🙏🏽 I was just searching for sage bundle information and couldn’t skip this video when I saw the Native American speaking about it. Big love ❤️❤️❤️
I’m so blessed to work with many native Americans and appreciate their wisdom...
white sage makes me happy and helps me manage my panic disorder
yes it's so calming!
I had a rough day and went by the herb shop for supplements and there was a whole table of sage..... i immediately came home and smudged ... I’m so calm now
Same!!!
Crying is like taking your soul through a car wash. It washes and cleanses, and it heals. 🙏🏾😊
what a genuine and honest man im happy he has found peace. Very inspirational for others that struggle with drug addiction
👍💗👍💗👍💗👍
Jesse Zeus I agree.
I couldn't agree more. I would love to visit him sometime.
I love sage for praying. Sweetgrass instantly relieves ne of all stress. Two great plants given to us by the Creator.
So good to see someone who has came so far!! I know so many that I truly hope watch this & think of the possibilities for their own growth!! We all need this wisdom from elders such as Elder Wilfred!! This shows people a glimmer of light & the hope for development in our lives!! Remember that there is nothing wrong with crying!! As he says this is part of the healing process!! Crying & laughter!! We need both in our lives!! :)) Thank you Elder Wilfred!!
Elder Wilfred Buck also passes on teachings about the stars and planets...I will see if we can get him to share here...
Great idea . Thank you ahead of time elder wilfred buck🙏🏻
Namaste,
Caterina D'Amore
I have become such a lover of the moon and stars. I was finally blessed to purchase a telescope and I go out almost every night for star gazing. Let’s not mention the full moon. 😍😘😍
Um everything nasa puts out is a lie🤷🏼♀️
Love our brother's and sister's of the First Nations...I miss my family and the way of the Elders. Our sweet plant peoples are hurting terribly, all creations are.....keep the ways..my eyes are full of love....
yes always listen to our elders...a blessing to have Wilfred share his story and his teachings...have a great day everybody!
I love ❤ his voice it's so calming
I agree... and I love your profile pic, btw. ;)
I'm fascinated by native culture I believe it to be true to the earth and soul
I feel more at peace just listening to him.
Weeping openly is important for others to see a strong person do. It teaches others that it is no shame to carry their feelings in honesty. Modeling strength and sensitivity together, is allowing the great spirit within you to shine through you, illuminating all around you.
It took me 11 years to see this great message from the creator, that is the path. Thank you for all you have done to keep the information available. 🙏❤
Very wise man. The things he's been thru were not pleasant at all, but have helped to shape him into the wonderful being he is today. Many blessings
Yes a true mentor
Thank you for sharing your ancient wisdom. The Natives are wonderful people that i admire very much.
Sage is also an anti-inflammatory, great for any inflammation like headaches, menstral pain, swelling, back pain etc.. if on medication please check with your doctor re combining medicines 💜
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us Wilford...what a beautiful soul you have...❤️
I thank the viewers for learning a bit more of our ancestors, now that knowledge lives within you as well. Without you, this living blessing would die.
Hi thanks for your kind words!
Big Thanks! Thanks to the sweat lodge and cleansing. I haven't had alcohol in 14 years now, thanks to the Creator.
First learned from a young Navajo man, carried a small bundle. We all had bad stomachs from some water in Sycamore Canyon, Arizona. One was too sick to get out of the van and see the Grand Canyon. We picked him up, his grandmother and sister, heading toward the Rez. He gave us each some to chew. We all got better soon. Having stomach issues from painkillers and remembered how much it helped, many times after that. My son brought me back some from Nevada, without being asked. Just telepathy. Thanks. See you on FB, where i can tell the rest of the story.
Wish I could find this sage in the wild. You can purchase quality herb quite easily, but there's something special about finding it in your own environment.
Paul Weatherby why not grow it yourself?
Squuuaaawk. ..I just might do that. Seeds are available.
You can find ceremonial white sagebrush on the Continental Divide in the spring about June is the best because it is growing and is tender, full of oil. Remember to bless and thank the sage before you pick. Give back what you take. Tobacco or living water. Pick in the morning just as the dew has almost left. Montana, Idaho and Colorado, is where it is abundant. Large sage is a sign of good soil and good grasses. Short sage soil is not growing as fast, pass it by. Hope that helps you in your quest for healing and vitality.

I found started plants at Farm store garden area last Spring, and grew well all Summer..We had very cold temp. last night 8 deg. Hope that I can still use some of it..
Because Truth fulfills you when you see it, you also realize Truth when you fulfill yourself :) Thank you Wilfred Buck!
What a heartfelt video. He is such a blessed soul. Thank you for this.
Beautiful and powerful. Just take some time and respect for whats inside of you and that then resonates and touches everything and everyone you come in contact with. After all, we are everything and all is connected. LOVE, LIGHT AND PEACE.
I hope this brother shares what he knows to everyone he cares about. It will light the path for someone else.
native american culture and lore is so precious, I wish I could meet with them I would listen all day to their insight and stories
So helpful I too have struggled with alcohol addiction and know so many who do Most are still living but a few who were close to me have died one most recently in the spring Practices such as smudging keeps away negative energy and provides grounding This is right on time as there is a large pow wow occurring in my community this weekend.

Wilford...you MADE me cry watching your story... I have DESTROYED myself in my lifetime drinking away my pain by not knowing my biological father up until two yrs ago..the third DNA test in my life proved that I had FINALLY found him and he is half QUAPAW Indian from Oklahoma...so much came to light for me..my alcoholism FINALLY had a source...I had been SOBER for 8 yrs up until last yr.when I fell from the wagon and got severely intoxicated with my father and drank copius amounts of whiskey..I fell into a blackout and my husband found my birthfather raping my DRUNKEN BODY...I searched for 44 fukn yrs for this man...to make me whole..to complete my life..And for THIS?? IDK WTF I'm going to do..how to get past this terrible feeling and HELL that I'm living in..I'm now a registered tribal member of the QUAPAW Indian tribe...but I am in Oregon and so far away from the people I long for to know..to show me the ways of the past to heal myself...As he sits in a jail cell awaiting trial I sit in my OWN Prison wondering why EVERYDAY I was chosen to CARRY THIS burden...and I feel like I've been robbed of my past, present and future...Why did this happen?? I planted sage in my garden this spring and came across your beautiful INTERVIEW...I hope with all my heart you see my post.... blessings my friend...
Jennifer Hays prayers of healing and forgiveness for yourself.
Prayers for you from Europe, Croatia.
Jennifer You owe it to yourself to get past this. It's probably a blessing that you went without his presence for 44 years. Rid that awful memory and move on. Don't let that define you. Consider he was probably so drunk he didn't know what he was doing. He will live with the guilt. Rise above and be happy. Life is too short.
I am do sorry to hear that something so horible has happened to you. That is probably why our our creator kept him away from you. I cant imagine the pain your in especially after searxhing for him for so long. I hope that you can find peace and happiness. God bless
Hi, I am so sorry this happened to you...Prayers up for you Jennifer...Yes Wilfred is amazing! so his story is testament that we can get through the toughest things in life...smudge your house and say a prayer for guidance and strength...sending you much luv
So my spirit totem Hawk came to me at work yesterday. He is my messenger. I pray for humanity for peace and harmony
Great video. Wilfred Buck you are an incredible person. Thank you for sharing this information with us. Returning to traditional ways is difficult without guidance, but people like you make it easier. Peace and love your way dear Elder.
awsome! we need to share what we can with the world. no one can take your spirituality that is in your heart.
Thank you for this video. So touching. I'm so grateful for the wisdom shared.

Thank you for the teaching and for your honesty as well, it is good to tell people however bad things get it doesn't have to stay that way if you have the will to change.
Sage smudging is also good if you have any special feathers it will keep them in the best condition.
Congratulations on your Sobriety brother, I too am in recovery!
you can do it!
Many demons and evil spirits have haunted me for to long, I must try this.
Have you tried the sage and are you better
Russian Survivalist Sage Sweetgrass even Rosemary can help your spirit. Try to remember the enemy the negative energy will only attach to your life if you allow it.☺
It works...
Inspirational! Way to turn your life around. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much! I really needed to hear his advice! Wish I could meet him!
It started off with beautiful music then it went straight to Wilfred saying he was a person that was into alcohol and drugs. Haha I laughed so hard.

I'm so blessed to be surrounded by land that provides this sacred plant naturally. I grew my own last year which was amazing, those plants were buddies and we built a bond lol but.. there's something so special about harvesting naturally , provided by the land on its own.
Yes I agree! I am starting sage seeds today!
