Aboriginal Energy Medicine with Brenda MacIntyre, Medicine Song Woman ABOUT BRENDA MACINTYRE & HER ENERGY HEALING METHODS Image © 2007 Carla Segura "It's as if my spirit helpers and the spirit of my drum all come together and create a stream of energy that comes down through my crown chakra... and I experience it by hearing a medicine song that I feel compelled to sing." Brenda MacIntyre, Medicine Song Woman For professional singing credentials, see Brenda's Media Kit and Artist Biography. To learn about who Brenda MacIntyre is and why you might want to see her for healing, read on... Why should I see Brenda for healing? CREDENTIALS: Brenda's healing credentials are in line with traditional Aboriginal teachings. She had unusual abilities as a child and has had a very difficult life. She has used all of her experiences to learn, grow, move forward and help others, plus she sought (and still does) the advice and support of Native elders, healers and traditional teachers. Brenda was adopted at birth and not told of her Aboriginal heritage. Her family was not religious or spiritual and did not encourage Brenda to sing. But she always had an inner knowing that there was something more to life than what she could see. As a child, She felt silenced and unloved. Brenda never felt a sense of belonging until she discovered the hills of sagebrush in Kamloops, BC. But she had a daily recurring vision in Kamloops that led to what she can only describe as a "download" of teachings and songs in 2006, which culiminated in her Spirit Connection CD in 2007. Brenda also realized that she was naturally connecting people to their own spirit just by singing and drumming her medicine songs. When she was only 15, her adoptive mother committed suicide, and only a year and half later, her adoptive father died of a heart attack. With no counseling or healing supports, Brenda floundered until she discovered the Aboriginal community in Toronto several years later. By the time she encountered York University's First Nations Students Association, Brenda had already suffered much abuse and was a single mother living in poverty. But she finally had found people who looked like, acted like and understood her. Her introduction to the purification (sweat lodge) ceremony and the drum brought Brenda full circle. She ended up in a Healing Lodge with her children, working through her grief, anger and depression under the guidance of Native elders, healers, traditional teachers and counselors, and a Buddhist psychotherapist. When Brenda found her voice through a Navaho Star Blanket Ceremony, it was the beginning of her journey as a song catcher (channeler) and Aboriginal hand drummer. Now, it's been 13 years since Brenda began drumming, 23 years since she began her musical career, and about 7 years since she began to receive healing songs from Source. After yet another "dark night of the soul" in the winter and spring of 2007-2008, Brenda has emerged from her self-described hibernation with new healing abilities. Brenda's ability to get what she calls "sensory impressions" of the human energy system surfaced suddenly in the middle of one of her healing sessions. Already able to flow healing energy through her hands, Brenda noticed that the energy felt stronger and she could sense energy much more easily. Additionally, Brenda found herself suddenly able to manipulate her client's energy system remotely (her client was about 2,000 miles away). The client's results affirmed Brenda's new abilities.

In Brenda's Own Words Many of you are aware that I work with healing energy and some of you know that I sing both traditional Native drum songs as well as reggae-soul-roots fusions. But I am also a vibrational healer working with energy medicine. To read more about my healing methods, click here. Medicine Song Woman is the spirit name that was given to me by an elder... and it has become a title I am honoured and humbled to carry. I follow the teachings given to me from the Spirit World, through visions and other forms of communication, as well as what I've learned from Aboriginal elders, traditional teachers and healers. I've also learned a lot from books and other healing resources. Now is the time to let all of me out into the light. I can't waste time any more on the fear that I have allowed to hold me back. Gifts within me that have been dormant or random are coming alive with purpose, and songs - instead of coming to me occasionally - are always with me, just above my crown chakra. With the new gifts that have suddenly come to me also, I know I have a responsibility to Source to share these gifts of healing. There is a great need for healing on our planet at this time. Most of you are noticing your fears and other negative emotions coming up to be released. You're not alone. And I can help. I know I'm here to assist others with releasing old pain and negative emotions, finding your voice, connecting to your spirit and opening up to this great awakening. I am grateful beyond words to be able to do this work and be of service to Mother Earth and all of you. Miigwech, Thank You, Brenda MacIntyre, Medicine Song Woman Back to Top   What healing methods does Brenda use? Unlike music therapy or most sound healing methods, my methods are not based on a scientific formula of notes, chords, instruments, or technical equipment. I get my songs and teachings about vibrational healing directly from Source/Creator and from my spirit helpers. I open myself to Spirit and give birth to medicine songs that are helping people worldwide to feel better. Just above my crown chakra, there is a concentration of healing energy that I can access whenever a healing song is needed. My spirit helpers (angels, guides, whatever you want to call them) as well as the spirit of my drum tell me telepathically what to sing. It's like they all come together and create a stream of energy that comes down through my crown chakra that I experience by hearing it as a song, as soon as I open my mouth or pick up my drum. I don't even need the intent to sing. If a song is meant to be sung, it will come and I will have the urge to sing it. I open my mouth and the song is just there. Sometimes it's a complete song that comes through instantaneously, and other times it is an unstructured series of melodies that may or may not grow into a full song. What I'm referring to in terms of a medicine song is usually what many would call a "chant" and shamanic drumming. Sometimes English words come as well, and I have had some of my reggae-soul songs come to me whole and complete too. But when I'm doing healing work, it's a wordless melody with my drum or shaker. The vibrations of my voice and drum or shaker create a harmony of resonance. It often sounds like there are five or more of me singing different tones all at once, and somehow my voice is able to cut through various layers of energy and get right into your soul, your core, the essence of who you are. My hands heat up - in fact my whole body heats up - and I become a conduit for sound and healing energy to flow through. Although I sometimes get sensory impressions of your energy system and of how you are feeling in the moment, I do not diganose your condition. I just allow the energy to do its work by singing whatever comes, and letting my hands flow the energy where and how it is needed. Apart from my voice, I work with my drums, shakers, several crystals and stones and sage (for smudging/purification ceremony). I also transmit healing energy through my hands in person and via email. I am grateful to be able to dedicate my life to sharing these gifts with people all over the world. CALL 416.519.SONG (7664) for a no obligation free assessment. Back to Top
