ABOUT THE BOOK

EDITORIAL REVIEW
Teaches the traditional Quero Apache meditative practice of entering the silence--a combination of prayer, meditation, and breathwork--as a path to spiritual healing and enlightenment

• Contains 24 prayer wheels from the Quero Apache tradition

• Offers easy-to-follow instructions for how to conduct the practice

• Provides rare insights into the spiritual philosophies and rituals of the Quero Apache

• Written by a living descendant of Apache prophet Nochaydelklinne

The Quero Apache Snake Clan, or Tlish Diyan, center their spiritual practice on the daily ceremony of Doowaa-gon’ch-aada,“entering the silence.” A combination of meditation, breathwork, and prayer, Doowaa-gon’ch-aada offers an experiential connection to All That Is from the Earth-based spiritual traditions of indigenous America. When performed properly, this ritual becomes a path to self-realization and transcendence.

Prayers and Meditations of the Quero Apache explains how to establish a personal practice. In addition to 24 prayer wheels, easy-to-follow instructions for the ritual, and accompanying pieces of inspirational artwork, the book includes a rare overview of the spiritual philosophies of the Quero Apache. The author incorporates her own stories and essays into the text in order to share the wisdom she has gained as daughter of the Tlish Diyan, granddaughter and apprentice of Apache holy man Ten Bears, and descendant of the prophet Nochaydelklinne.
USER REVIEWS
"The White Mountain Apache nation says Maria Naylin (her real name) is a fraud. Yraceburu is not even an Apache name, it's Yaqui. The White Mountain nations say that nothing she claims is anything close to Apache tradition, and they have no record of her enrolled and no one had ever heard of her until they received many complaints about her. The tribal offices also tried to get her to quit using the White Mountain tribal seal without their permission.

Her main concern is to make money over in California, far away from the people she falsely claims are her own. She also has her partner, a Gypsy woman, falsely claiming to be an Apache healer.

One of the people Naylin says trained her, "Rolling Thunder", was a white man claiming to be "Chickamauga Cherokee" who sold ceremonies in Europe and set up a commune for white hippies in a Nevada brothel. She claims training by another fraud, Twyla Nitsch, who is a woman with a small amount of Seneca blood kicked off the reservation for being a ceremony seller. Naylin also claims to have been trained in Kahuna. Kahuna is a white exploiter's false version of Hawaiian traditions.

She falsely claims to be "Quero Apache," a tribe that does not exist. The Quero are a tribe in South America with many false claims made by them by New Age charlatans, no relation to the Apache.

Think of this book as pure fantasy, not anything to do with actual Apache tradition."

"I have attended many of Maria's workshops and ceremonies over the years. This book is as powerful and life-changing as being with Maria in person. She is an amazing, down-to-Earth spiritual teacher and her ability to hold safe space for personal transformation is unparalleled.

While many people live in a world where they think things are "right" or things are "wrong", Maria helps you understand that we are all connected and that our truth, whatever it is, is what we should seek and hold in our hearts. Thank you, Maria!"

"Alberto Villoldo is right. Maria Yraceburu's book is a treasure. I rarely write these reviews, but this book deserves it. In a world where authentic traditional wisdom of the Native American people is hard to find among the New Age hype, I found this book to be refreshingly deep and full of Beauty that I can use in my day-to-day life.
Using the daily prayers in this book has literally changed my life. I wake up in a positive place of connectedness, and I feel my ancestors and guides supporting me all day long now!
I'm not surprised that Alberto, Brooke Medicine Eagle, and many others are recognizing Maria Yraceburu as an authentic teacher of the ancient wisdom way. I've heard that some traditionalists are upset at her for revealing these teachings to the general "white" public. We are All One, and we modern people are so hungry for this poetic spiritual wisdom. In order to heal the planet, we need to hear it and live it.
Listen to your Heart. Buy this book. "

"If you surf the internet, there is no other mention of this tribe, except what is taught by her and her sister."
