What Is Tao/Mitakuwe Oyas'in?

Official Website of DENEAN - An Introduction & Welcome Message From Denean

Here you will meet the artist of this healing music for meditation and relaxation as she shares about the spiritual understanding and the Angel of Music that continues to inspire her work. Please support her efforts to nourish the spirit of the people by purchasing her music

through this website. Thank You.

Many of you know Denean through the music she has recorded over the years, in particular, Fire Prayer, The Weaving and Thunder. The more recent releases include Breath of Angels, The Farmer’s Daughter, Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence (An Instrumental Christmas Album), Ave Maria (a CD Single) and her newest release, Reikidama™. Reikidama™ is a combination of teaching, meditation, and music. Reikidama™ was inspired by the sacred sounds associated with the names of the healing symbols used in Reiki. To learn more about Reikidama™ click here. Breath of Angels was inspired by the Angel of Music, Israfel as a means to help human kind at this frantic time on earth when inner quiet is so desperately needed. This piano/”soft“ vocal album helps the listener to calm body, mind, and spirit to open the way to true healing. It can also help to calm infants, making it wonderful angel baby music :-) For those of you who are new to Denean’s music, it is indeed inspiring and healing music for deep meditation and relaxation, expressing Native American spiritual themes as well as the angelic ones.

In fact, you may often find Denean’s earlier releases listed in the Native American section when exploring Indian music online. However, Denean likes to make the distinction that she considers her music an expression of her experiences with Native American music, spirituality and culture. Although of some Native American ancestry herself, Denean makes this distinction out of respect for the culture’s rich traditional music and spiritual heritage.

Music for meditation and relaxation does not always have to be instrumental, and you will find much of Denean’s work centered around her powerful vocals and harmonies. We invite you to check out the song samples on the album details pages! Also, don't miss the Hubble Space Telescope Presentation with "Angels Calling Me" from The Weaving.

We hope you enjoy your visit to this site and find something here that truly nourishes your spirit. And now, a message from Denean:

Hello. Welcome to my website. My intention has always been to offer music that nourishes the spirit...to open pathways to higher states of awareness. Music, as a means of Divine worship creates a bridge between our deepest knowing and the world of the unseen. It is music that helps us to remember where we come from; music is the language of Spirit. Did you know that within the Lakota tradition, the holy people are known as "singers"?

In my creative process there have been many factors that play a part in the influence and inspiration of the music I write. Although I have never talked about it much (other than in the words of the songs themselves), angels have always been present. As I sit down to the piano and center myself for the inspiration to flow from the Divine, it is as though a doorway to angelic realms opens before me. It has been a completely natural experience for me for as long as I can remember and there has never been any conscious effort to make anything happen. They are just always there. I would like to thank Israfel (Arch Angel of Music), Gabriel, Raphael and a host of others for always inspiring, protecting, and sharing their love for humanity. I am so grateful for the blessings they have shared.

"Tao / Mitakuwe Oyas’in", (that you see as the theme of this website), is a combination of two words that represent philosophies that have also greatly influenced my spiritual journey and my music. Tao means "the way" or "the path". Mitakuwe Oyas’in (sometimes spelled "Mitakuye Oyasin") is Lakota for "all of my relations included" or "all of my relations". It is often used as a closing or blessing. So, together you have a path or way of relating appropriately with ourselves and with our relations. Tao is the way of spiritual truth and virtue in its highest expression and the Lakota forms of ceremony and ritual are simply a way in which I have given expression to this truth over the years as a means of focus and centering. The inner truth is always the highest expression; the forms are simply the tools we use in our organic world to align ourselves with this truth.

I find at this particular place in my life journey, that I am being called to expand the vision of my work...to teach and share the way of Tao, a path to inner calm...inner stillness and appropriate relationship. This inner quiet is the single greatest need of the human spirit. The vision is a bringing together of music, teaching, meditation and process...an experiential journey...for it is through our experience that we make the Truth our own.

Most recently, upon the discovery of the "sacred sounds" of the Reiki symbols, I was profoundly blessed and guided by Spirit in the creation of Reikidama™. Reikidama™ comes from the word "Reiki" and the word "kotodama". Kotodama is a Reiki practice lesser known to the western world of Reiki. Kotodama means "word spirit" or "jeweled words".

This creation has indeed expanded the vision even more and is itself expressing the original vision. It continues to be a blessing and healing in my own life. Click here if you wish to learn more about Reikidama™.

This website is a "work-in-progress", unfolding as the vision unfolds. I hope that you will continue to "check in" often and join me on this journey. I pray that you may be blessed this day with a contented heart of quiet, wordless, self-contained joy.

Mitakuwe Oyas'in,

Blessings...
