Biography

Onye Onyemaechi was born in Nigeria and raised in the village of Obinze, living in a compound surrounded by his parents, grand-parents, aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews. The commu-

nity worked together to teach the children the traditional cultural mores and to walk with humility and respect for the earth and all their human relationships.

Each day began with prayer and the honoring of the elders. The chores of gathering water, firewood and sweeping the compound were all accom-plished before school began. After school the children learned the wisdom teachings of the village to prepare them for adulthood. All the children learned the cultural arts of song, dance, drumming and storytelling. Today, ceremony and ritual remain an integral part of life in Obinze and music, dance and prayer a way of celebration.

As a young boy, Onye wanted to be with the elders, to sit with them and know their ways. The elders initiated him through various rites of passage where he learned the responsibilities of leadership, obligations, respect and conflict resolution. An integral part of the teachings was the development of sensory perception to understand the energy of the human psyche and how it interfaced with nature. He walked between the worlds with visions of angels and felt deeply the divine love of God, always believing that this was a normal state of being. His mother and the elders guided his way and sup-ported his gifts of prophecy, music, drumming and dance.

For over thirty years, Onye has brought to the western world the music and gifts of healing and prophecy from his rich African Christian heritage. He is a master drummer, dancer and storyteller. He makes the drum talk and your feet move. Onye uses the soul of African music, rhythms and dance to bring together diverse communities as a tool for personal and social heal-ing. He is a celebrated recording artist, producer, and composer.

Ever present is Onye’s deep connection with God. He is a mystic, spiri-tual healer, seer and founder of Center for Healing and Miracles. He has a profound capacity for seeing through ordinary reality and discovering what is needed to bring healing, growth, and transformation for individuals and organizations. His intuitive insights have helped thousands to reconnect with their divine essence and find purpose and meaning and in their lives. Combining practical wisdom, along with his enormous capacity to channel divine love, his energy field is capable of expanding time and space to create new energetic frameworks for dynamic change and physical and emotional healing.

His ministry reaches people of diverse spiritual beliefs and faith in the USA and Europe. He has ministered at Catholic, Episcopalian, Lutheran, Baptist, Presbyterian and Unity churches, and offers private sessions for in-dividuals, groups and businesses wherever he travels.

A former Northern California representative of the National Academy of Songwriters says: “I am pleased to recommend Onye Onyemaechi and the Rhythm Masters. I can truly call them electrifying. The first time I heard Onye play, I wondered if I had ever heard drumming before. There is something so solid, so like an exuberant heart beat from even his simplest rhythms, the layers of talking drums, congas and vocals that the band adds to Onye are one surprise after another. Onye only performs at intoxicant-free events and educational groups, seeking to uplift and energize people, encouraging all to participate.”

“My experience with Onye was miraculous. I had experienced other “healings” in my life, but nothing like the healing that occurred as a result of Onye’s relationship with God.” Denna Motto, teacher, Farmington, NM

Spiritual Healing and Miracles

There is a great mystique around spiritual healing. Allopathic doc-tors have witnessed the magnificent mystery that takes place when patients are cured of alignments with no treatment at all. Stories

are told of one test showing cancer and the next test shows no cancer at all. Spiritual healing takes place at the level of prayer and faith where the Divine power of the Christ energy intervenes on behalf of the patient. God’s infinite love and light is called forth and fully channeled to bring relief. The Great Mystery is at work here, and this is the place of miracles and healing.

These healings have existed since the beginning of time, for God’s infinite love and compassion has always existed. The indigenous or shamanic healer acts as a conduit of God’s divine energy. Some healers are gifted and des-tined to heal with God’s grace while others, such as doctors, nurses and ho-listic practitioners are trained in various healing modalities. All are children of God, practicing their gifts and reaching the people they need to help.

Christ’s first healing took place at Peter’s house. “And when Jesus came to the house of the centurion to heal his paralyzed boy because he was very faithful. Then Jesus went to the house of Simon, and he saw his mother-in- law lying sick with fever. And he touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she got up and waited on them.” Matt. 8:5 -14 paraphrased.

What Occurs in a Healing?Each experience is quite personal and unique. Often one feels an abun-

dance of energy flowing through their entire body with a particular empha-sis on the seat of the emotional or physical pain. This energy may manifest as a surge of cold, cool, warm or hot temperatures along with tingling sensa-tions. The energy of the spiritual healing is different for everyone and divine-ly guided by God with the healer standing by as a channel and grounding presence for the energy coming through.

Nothing needs to be done on the part of the patient accept to be fully

14

present in the process, remain positive and keep an open mind and heart to the gift of Divine love. Neither the healer nor the patient can know in ad-vance what will happen during a session. It is okay to be yourself and simply remain open.

Onye’s InspirationThrough his African-Christian lineage, Onye is deeply connected to

Jesus Christ, The Holy Mother Mary and The Holy Spirit. These guides are always with him and you can sense this upon meeting him. They come through his prayers, drumming and music, and guide his individual healing sessions.

Onye is particularly attuned to the Holy Mother Mary, the mother of all people. She is revered all over the world as the divine feminine form of love. Each culture gives praise to this unconditional, holy and infinite love. In Christianity, masses are held around the world on December 1�th to cele-brate the Holy Mother’s glory. In many countries, pilgrimages to her shrines pay homage to her holiness. The appearance of The Mother is recorded ev-erywhere in the world and stories of her infinite healing power abound.

In a healing, Onye becomes the holy servant of theses loving divine ener-gies and they are called forth to surround each participant and Onye as he works.

The African Drum: Ancient Weaver of Body, Soul,

Mind and Spirit

Since the dawn of time, indigenous people everywhere have understood that music, dance, song and ritual are powerful spiritual practices for health and healing. For the African villager, drumming is a spiritual

practice and an integral part of the social and cultural fabric of village life.The ancient rhythms invoke the power of God to heal, and this language

of the drum speaks directly to everyone about love, one-ness and together-ness in a global society. The beat of the drum serves as a conduit between heaven and earth where God and nature coexist in harmony.

In Africa, group drumming plays an important role during planting and harvest seasons to boost moral and encourage solidarity to achieve a com-mon goal. Stress and fear are transcended when drummers unite, lifting spirits and renewing faith and optimism. It is reported that in many parts of Africa, the life expectancy is higher than normal when the villagers engage in the daily practice of group drumming, dancing and spiritual ceremony.

The Healing Power of the DrumIn modern times, scientists, researchers and psychologists give their own

account of the therapeutic effect of rhythms. Recent research shows that drum rhythms strengthen the immune system, produce endorphins and re-lease emotional trauma to create states of wellness.

The healing power of drumming creates a balance that maintains the connection between body, mind and soul. It has been proven to have many therapeutic and transformative benefits. Research has demonstrated that energetic rhythms cause the brain to synchronize the two cerebral hemi-spheres. When the hemispheres pulsate in harmony expanded states of

16

awareness are experienced. Powerful neuronal connections are generated in all parts of the brain when entrained to the beat of the drum and even dam-aged sites can be enhanced.

More than ever, chronic pain is so very prevalent and continues to affect the quality of life. Drum rhythms and movement produce endorphins and endogenous opiates, the body’s own morphine-like painkillers, and excruci-ating pain can be controlled with drumming. The healing power of the drum relieves stress, tension, confusion, induces deep and profound relaxation, lowers blood pressure and transforms lives.

Drumming and Awakened StatesWhen the practice of drumming is undertaken in a sacred way, profound

altered states of consciousness can be experienced. Group drumming can double the alpha brain waves, induce deep states of relaxation, reduce stress and connect one to their transcendent nature. The drum is a messenger from spirit, and people can awaken to their true infinite spiritual nature. One en-ters the realm of miracles where there are no boundaries between self and vast spaciousness of being. It is here where one is transported beyond the

egoic confines of the conditioned self and enters the world of the divine. These ancient rhythms have the power to elicit healings of all kinds.

As the holy vibration of the drum permeates the entire body and soul, profound peace is felt and effortlessly radiates out as love for self and others. The ancestral wisdom carried in the lineage of rhythms is a tool for building community, creating coherent and loving interactions, and awaken one to the miracle of healing through the divine mystery of God’s will.

A Prayerful Life: How to Pray and What to Ask For

Prayer is the way the heart speaks to God. It sounds a lot like a con-versation with your best friend who loves and cares deeply for your well-being. Some religions and spiritual paths prescribe a way to

pray. What is most important is the willingness to turn towards the Lord with a full heart. Whether you are on your knees, bow your head, pros-trate, raise your hands to the heavens, God hears your prayers. Whether you whisper, remain silent or shout, God hears your prayers. There is noth-ing outside of God. This divine unconditional love receives your celebration, gratitude, thanks and praise right along with your fear, anxiety, anger, disap-pointments and difficulties.

Prayer tests us to believe that there is a power greater than ourselves. Believers and nonbelievers turn to this great mystery in times of trouble. This is when we are closest to God, when we are humbled by not having the answers. When we feel alone, scared or angry, when we have no place else to turn, we turn to God as a savior. One’s faith is tested when prayers are seemingly not answered and one is left to trust and surrender completely to the divine grace of the great mystery. In time, all will be revealed. A Nigerian proverb says: “What you don’t know will not cause you harm or take your life.”

Jesus taught his disciples to pray by using The Lord’s Prayer. His model guides our thoughts to God:

• Offer thanks and gratitude to the Lord, • Ask the Lord to forgive as you would forgive others, • Protect and keep us safe, guiding our actions and thoughts, and• Grow in faith, surrender and welcome God’s love in your life.

Prayers

Prayer of St. Francis of AssisiLord, Make me an instrument of your Peace; Where there is hared, let me sow Love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where is doubt, faith; Where is despair, hope; Where is darkness, light; Where is sadness, joy. Oh divine master, grant that I may not so much seek to Be consoled as to console; To be understood As to understand; To be loved as to love; For it is in giving That we receive; It is in pardoning That we are pardoned: and it is in dying That we are born to eternal life.Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi

Jesus Christ’s Sermon on the Mount Blessed are the humble, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for the shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirsty for justice, for they shall be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall have mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Blessed are the peace maker, for they shall be called the sons of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted for the sake of justice, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when men reproach you and persecute you and speak against you every kind of evil, for my sake, Then be glad and rejoice, for your reward is increased in heaven; in this very manner they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Unfailing Prayer to St. Anthony

Franciscan Friars

O Holy St. Anthony, gentlest of Saints, your love for God and charity for His creatures, made you worthy, when on earth, to possess miraculous pow-ers. Miracles waited on your word, which you were ever ready to speak for those in trouble or anxiety. Encouraged by this thought, I implore of you to obtain for me (your request). The answer to my prayer may require a mira-cle; even so, you are the Saint of miracles. O gentle and loving St. Anthony, whose heart was ever full of human sym-pathy, whisper my petition into the ears of the Sweet Jesus, who loved to be folded in your arms; and the gratitude of my heart will ever be yours.

The Body, Mind, Spirit and Health

Today in every mainstream magazine, you can read about the role stress has on one’s emotional and physical well-being. People are becoming more conscious of the subtle ways our psychological

health affects the physical balance of our bodies. Your body responds to the way you think, feel, act and express yourself. When you listen deeply your body tells you when you are out of balance.

Life’s challenges can easily distract and disrupt your peace of mind. These stressors are numerous and range from unresolved relationships to financial problems, illnesses, loss, and addictions. Even the seemingly happy changes like moving into a new home, expecting a baby and entering into a marriage carry their own stressors which challenge us to remain peaceful in the midst of change. When stress is ignored your body begins to work overtime and as a result you can be become depressed, angry, guilty, worried, anxious, fearful and manifest physical symptoms.

A short list of physical symptoms related to stress include headaches, di-gestive upsets, back pain, shortness of breath, depleted immune system, sex-ual dysfunction, lack of energy, high blood pressure, and changes in weight. These are some ways the body communicates that there is something wrong. The natural desire of the body is to be in balance.

Relaxation Exercises

These exercises come from the work of the great healer Karmu. When practiced on a regular basis they awaken the healing power within.

Begin the exercises by stretching the body out flat on a firm mattress. Lay the arms loosely along the sides of the body. At first, concentrate on the physical flow making your movements smooth, fluid and graceful. Then add the following prayer, “In God we trust; In God I trust.” Repeat seven times, each time with a bigger pause before the next repetition. This establishes a rhythm.

Practice this exercise system sparingly in the beginning, fifteen minutes in the morning and fifteen minutes in the evening. Work your way up gradu-ally. Don’t be in too much of a hurry. Feel comfortable and eventually do them as many times as you feel is right for you.

Upon completion, conclude the exercises with this prayer, “God, I fear not thy Light. I accept this your light. The Christ Light. The Buddha Light.”

Exercise One — Grasping the ankles, draw the legs into the trunk. Hold the ankles in position using just a slight tension in the legs. Press the legs in and out against the trunk applying force through the hands. Second, hold-ing the legs as shown, move them in and out together much like a tug of war between arms and legs.

Exercise Two — Stretch the legs out horizontally, then raise them as shown. Raise them using a thrusting up motion of the legs. Do this with definition without heavy physical force. Rotate each leg from the hip joint. Rotate each ankle from the knee joint. Repeat above with the left leg then the right leg.

Repeat entire operation, this time adding a foot motion.When the leg is extended, stretch the foot from heal to toes. Rotate and spread each toe. Shake whole leg and foot now.

30

Exercise Three — Stretch the arms out horizontally from the body into the sign of the cross. In this position visualize the white light of Jesus the Christ infusing your body with purification, health and protection.After visualization, raise the arms straight up in the air , slowly bringing them together, interlocking the fingers.Exert gentle but firm tension by pulling hands in different directions keep-ing the fingers interlocked. Relax the arms. Hold them out straight again in the sign of the cross.

If there is tension in the legs, shake them out then repeat Exercise Three five times.

Exercise Four — Lie with knees bent feet flat and from the Cross posi-tion thrust the arms straight out into the air with a swift cobra movement, smoothly and precisely.At the end of the arm thrust stretch out the hands and arms to their full extent and shake.

31

Exercise Five — This is the central step in this exercise system. Step 1) Sit up for this exercise, spine straight, feet flat on the floor. Here, we will stimulate all of your subtle nerve centers. Begin by pressing the thumb gently, slightly above the mid-point between the two eyebrows. Rotate thumb in place gently. This stimulates the third eye to function strongly. Step �) Tap the finger tips on the forehead in a motion like a light spring rain.

Step 3) Reach behind, plac- ing the palm of the hand against the base of the neck. Use the hand with which you normally write. Visualize the white light of Jesus the Christ flowing through the back of her neck, straight through the thousand petalled lotus into the center of your innermost heart. Feel the desire to relieve the sufferings of all sentient beings. See yourself bringing all joy and success. Accept your responsibility as co-creator with the Most High.Step 4) Rap the knuckles of both hands all over the skull, then massage the head with the fingertips.Step 5) Hold forehead with one palm and the back of the neck with the other hand. Visualize yourself being happy throughout the day. (At night visualize where the astral body should go in the cosmic arena during sleep or meditation).Exercise Six — Self-massage is emphasized in this exercise system. Begin by stretching the feet flat on the bed, leaving the arms hanging loosely at the sides. Slowly raise the legs to position shown. Lift the arms to hold the thighs.

Knead the backs of the thighs, grasping the flesh then releasing in rapid succes-sion. Proceed down the length of the leg to the tips of the toes then back again.Put the hands under the buttocks, kneading the flesh. Massage the buttocks vig-orously, pulling out the skin with gentle pressure. This tightens loose skin.

3�

Exercise Eight — Put arms under the head, interlocking the arms under the head and place an opposing tension in the interlocked arms. Simultaneously, stiffen the legs, raising up one then another. Do it in rhythm, twenty times. Then lay the legs out flat , relax the arms, let them drop to your sides.

Exercise Seven — Stretch arms and legs, then lift the arms and hands, extend-ing full length. Move arms slowly until they are perpendicular to the bed. Move the arms back and forth, criss-crossing one over the other rapidly. Keep your fo-cus on the arm motion. Fell the stop-move-stop-move rhythm. Try to enter the rhythm, becoming it. Do this thirty times, then drop the arms to the sides.
