Skip to Content About Joseph Rael (Beautiful Painted Arrow)Joseph Rael, whose name, Tsluu teh koy ay, given to him as a child at Picuris Pueblo, means “Beautiful Painted Arrow,” is widely regarded as one of the great Native American holy men of our time. He was born in 1935 on the Southern Ute reservation to a chief’s granddaughter and a Tiwa-speaking Picuris native. At about age 7, shortly before his mother’s death, he went to live in Picuris near Taos, NM, where his visionary powers were developed until, at about age 12, he began to assist the village holy man in curing practices.He was educated both at Santa Fe Indian school and public high school before getting a BA in political science from the University of New Mexico and an MA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. For a number of years he worked in various capacities in Indian health and social services in both New Mexico and Colorado.At age 45 he quit his social services job to devote full time to teaching and following his visions wherever they might lead. In 1983 Joseph had the vision to build a Sound Peace chamber, a kiva-like structure where people of all races might gather to chant and sing for world peace and to purify the earth and oceans. He built the first such chamber at his then-home, a trailer park in Bernalillo, NM, and shortly like-minded people began to build Sound Peace chambers in other locations.At present, Sound Peace chambers have been built around the globe. Writes Joseph, “My vision is that through sound we will bring about peace and other important vibrations. Sound can teach us a way to create without destruction.” Meanwhile, Joseph began leading ceremonial dances, based on his visions, with participants from all races and nationalities. “When you dance you are expanding the vibrations of insight and manifestation,” he writes. “I created three dances — the long dance, the sun-moon dances and the drum dance—for these spiritual gifts.”Joseph teaches that “Every dance, every ceremony, is both for you and for the cosmos.” In 1999, Joseph retired from active leadership of the dances he had begun, turning them over to a new generation of his students. Joseph Rael is the author of a number of books, including Being and Vibration, Way of Inspiration, Ceremonies of the Living Spirit, and House of Shattering Light, and Sound: Native Teachings and Visionary Art, He is also an artist. His paintings, like his ceremonies and teachings, are based on his visions. They have been called “portal” art, because they open a doorway into alternate dimensions of reality. As a Native American elder Joseph Rael has spoken before the United Nations and addressed a conference of military officers at the Pentagon on the role of the warrior in the modern world. More about Joseph Rael’s life can be read in his autobiography, House of Shattering Light. "> Celestial TravelDear Peace Chamber Community,Most of you have heard Joseph Rael, Beautiful Painted Arrow, speak about inter-dimensional and intergalactic travel. I remember Joseph telling the story of his ancestors traveling to distant galaxies in a tube of light. I also remember his story about his own inter-dimensional visit to the Mer-people who gave him the fire ceremony we do every month.This past November Judith Brooks, Christine Booth and I travelled to New Mexico and were blessed to interview and video Joseph. Joseph had several new visions he wanted to share with our Chamber Community of how we will travel to the stars. He also spoke of the Mer-people and their underwater cities in the ocean. ">Joseph drew these two visionary art pieces that help to explain his vision. We would appreciate your sharing any thoughts you have about this and other Joseph teachings in the comments below.Joseph sends his blessings for the New Year with this teaching. Please enjoy this video of his beautiful vision of the future.">Planting Global Peace SongDunh wee no heyn’oh wee nai yoYai how hey yo hey hey hey heyyo hey no o o (repeat)Duhn wee ho hey n’oh way nai yoYai how ay yo hey hey hey heyDuhn wee no hey n’oh way nai yoYai how ay yo hey hey hey heyYo hey no o oYa way no heyn’oh yai ho way nai howhen i haiwhen i haiYa way no heyn’oh yai ho way nai yowhen i haiwhen I hai Joseph Rael Facebook .fe-630e232846ebd0245b0fdbd0 { --grid-gutter: calc(var(--sqs-mobile-site-gutter, 6vw) - 11.0px); --cell-max-width: calc( ( var(--sqs-site-max-width, 1500px) - (11.0px * (8 - 1)) ) / 8 ); display: grid; position: relative; grid-area: 1/1/-1/-1; grid-template-rows: repeat(19,minmax(24px, auto)); grid-template-columns: minmax(var(--grid-gutter), 1fr) repeat(8, minmax(0, var(--cell-max-width))) minmax(var(--grid-gutter), 1fr); row-gap: 11.0px; column-gap: 11.0px;}@media (min-width: 768px) { .background-width--inset .fe-630e232846ebd0245b0fdbd0 { --inset-padding: calc(var(--sqs-site-gutter) * 2); } .fe-630e232846ebd0245b0fdbd0 { --grid-gutter: calc(var(--sqs-site-gutter, 4vw) - 11.0px); --cell-max-width: calc( ( var(--sqs-site-max-width, 1500px) - (11.0px * (24 - 1)) ) / 24 ); --inset-padding: 0vw; --row-height-scaling-factor: 0.0215; --container-width: min(var(--sqs-site-max-width, 1500px), calc(100vw - var(--sqs-site-gutter, 4vw) * 2 - var(--inset-padding) )); grid-template-rows: repeat(9,minmax(calc(var(--container-width) * var(--row-height-scaling-factor)), auto)); grid-template-columns: minmax(var(--grid-gutter), 1fr) repeat(24, minmax(0, var(--cell-max-width))) minmax(var(--grid-gutter), 1fr); }} .fe-block-f7ac4abc04e67fbca1b9 { grid-area: 4/2/5/6; z-index: 2; } .fe-block-f7ac4abc04e67fbca1b9 .sqs-block { justify-content: flex-start; } .fe-block-f7ac4abc04e67fbca1b9 .sqs-block-alignment-wrapper { align-items: flex-start; } @media (min-width: 768px) { .fe-block-f7ac4abc04e67fbca1b9 { grid-area: 5/2/6/7; z-index: 2; } .fe-block-f7ac4abc04e67fbca1b9 .sqs-block { justify-content: flex-start; } .fe-block-f7ac4abc04e67fbca1b9 .sqs-block-alignment-wrapper { align-items: flex-start; } } .fe-block-fd5606ffe42d1ad447b1 { grid-area: 5/2/6/6; z-index: 7; } .fe-block-fd5606ffe42d1ad447b1 .sqs-block { justify-content: flex-start; } .fe-block-fd5606ffe42d1ad447b1 .sqs-block-alignment-wrapper { align-items: flex-start; } @media (min-width: 768px) { .fe-block-fd5606ffe42d1ad447b1 { grid-area: 6/2/7/7; z-index: 7; } .fe-block-fd5606ffe42d1ad447b1 .sqs-block { justify-content: flex-start; } .fe-block-fd5606ffe42d1ad447b1 .sqs-block-alignment-wrapper { align-items: flex-start; } } .fe-block-9e09afa58ee3531d05f5 { grid-area: 7/2/15/10; z-index: 6; } .fe-block-9e09afa58ee3531d05f5 .sqs-block { justify-content: flex-start; } .fe-block-9e09afa58ee3531d05f5 .sqs-block-alignment-wrapper { align-items: flex-start; } @media (min-width: 768px) { .fe-block-9e09afa58ee3531d05f5 { grid-area: 6/19/10/26; z-index: 6; } .fe-block-9e09afa58ee3531d05f5 .sqs-block { justify-content: flex-start; } .fe-block-9e09afa58ee3531d05f5 .sqs-block-alignment-wrapper { align-items: flex-start; } } .fe-block-e2d8a207a2252c8dff12 { grid-area: 15/2/16/10; z-index: 1; } .fe-block-e2d8a207a2252c8dff12 .sqs-block { justify-content: flex-start; } .fe-block-e2d8a207a2252c8dff12 .sqs-block-alignment-wrapper { align-items: flex-start; } @media (min-width: 768px) { .fe-block-e2d8a207a2252c8dff12 { grid-area: 2/19/3/26; z-index: 1; } .fe-block-e2d8a207a2252c8dff12 .sqs-block { justify-content: flex-start; } .fe-block-e2d8a207a2252c8dff12 .sqs-block-alignment-wrapper { align-items: flex-start; } } .fe-block-yui_3_17_2_1_1661912082481_185741 { grid-area: 16/2/18/10; z-index: 10; } .fe-block-yui_3_17_2_1_1661912082481_185741 .sqs-block { justify-content: flex-start; } .fe-block-yui_3_17_2_1_1661912082481_185741 .sqs-block-alignment-wrapper { align-items: flex-start; } @media (min-width: 768px) { .fe-block-yui_3_17_2_1_1661912082481_185741 { grid-area: 2/3/4/5; z-index: 10; } .fe-block-yui_3_17_2_1_1661912082481_185741 .sqs-block { justify-content: center; } .fe-block-yui_3_17_2_1_1661912082481_185741 .sqs-block-alignment-wrapper { align-items: center; } } .fe-block-yui_3_17_2_1_1662137259031_130726 { grid-area: 18/2/20/10; z-index: 11; } .fe-block-yui_3_17_2_1_1662137259031_130726 .sqs-block { justify-content: center; } .fe-block-yui_3_17_2_1_1662137259031_130726 .sqs-block-alignment-wrapper { align-items: center; } @media (min-width: 768px) { .fe-block-yui_3_17_2_1_1662137259031_130726 { grid-area: 7/12/9/16; z-index: 11; } .fe-block-yui_3_17_2_1_1662137259031_130726 .sqs-block { justify-content: center; } .fe-block-yui_3_17_2_1_1662137259031_130726 .sqs-block-alignment-wrapper { align-items: center; } }HomeShop Made with Squarespace Contact us
