Cloud Dancing

  Hi, My Cherokee  name is Cloud Dancing,, a.k.a. Rev. Ken Andrews Ph.D., & Ken (Cloud Dancing) Andrews.  I have been called a Shaman, an international word now used to describe the spiritual guide of any indigenous peoples.  It is spelled "Chaman" in Spanish speaking countries.  The honor of being in an actual traditional sweat lodge with three Medicine Women, and them telling me that I am to wear the sign of a Medicine Man, with many instructions during that six hours, is beyond words.  My many talents include a Spirit Guide, Healer, registered & ordained Minister (non traditional), also as computer Wizard.  Besides being of English - German descent, I have at least 1/8th Cherokee blood, and additional Native American blood from an ancient tribe in the old Farmington Massachusetts area.
  My pictures do not show my shoulder length ponytail with the local feathers I wear.  As you can see my horse is made of iron.   I ride my horse of iron to work every workday I can, if it isn't raining to hard, to offset the price of fuel these days.  It is fortunate for me to manage the Senior Center in the Upper Keys for four hours weekdays, as it is a pleasure to help people, getting paid for it,  My small afternoon computer business, along with other limited incomes allow me to enjoy life to it's fullest, and I try to enjoy all the gifts the Great Spirit has for us.  Sometimes I'm able to catch a Sunrise from my back porch under a canopy on a waterway, which enhances my morning meditations, listening to the  many animals that visit, air, land, & sea, tend to make for a really good day no matter what I may come across.  My celebration of the setting sun does much the same for my night time adventures.  These meditations have left me with great concern about the Prophecies that have come forward recently, or at least where they all match native lore, and what the Medicine People that I am in touch with have to say.  Now a great honor has been bestowed upon me, being appointed the Spiritual Advisor to Council for The United Cherokee People , an honor not taken lightly, and directly connected to my Vision Quest completed in the summer of my twenty seventh year.
  My great grandmother Wilson, considered a Medicine Woman by the Cherokee in the mountains of North Carolina, handed down this gift through my mother before I was born, and told her that I would be born with a veil over my face, as this is the sign of a future Medicine Man, or Preacher of some kind.  So far, all she foretold has come true.  I try & hope to use these gifts as they were meant, at all times.  All of this has recently been brought out more than ever before, due to the fact that I am a walking miracle, at least that is what my doctors friends, & relatives say.  I also know that if it were not for these gifts, and the proper use of them, I would not be in this plane of existence.
  My father William Andrews, was a great architect, and was involved in designing a great many landmarks in south Florida, out Islands, and a few other countries.  Some of his work included the Fountain Blue, Eden Roc, Lincoln Road Mall (Miami), and many hospitals in the area (Cedars Of Lebanon).  He was born a native of then Lemon City (Miami), and good friends with Billy Billy, his son, now a well-known Seminole Indian Chief.  He taught me many Indian tools, including the building of a kayak, quiet footsteps, weapons, and night vision.
  My mother, Jeanette  Andrews, also a great Lady, a many faceted business woman, taught me more of the spirit world (Red Road), of herbs, and healing, as handed down in true Cherokee fashion.  My uncle, a full blooded Apache, taught me many of his ways, & beliefs, which helped to inspire some of my western U.S. adventures.
  Ray "SenseiBear" Truman, a life long friend & brother, is an official Blackfoot story teller. He has just recently found his Cherokee heritage on his mother's side. He is a true registered, multi- faceted, high ranking Sensei in the Martial Arts, and  minister.   Along with my meditations, & visions, he has helped, & inspired my learning of the eastern world, in the ways of  healing, medicine, martial arts, and most all that has been lost in the migration across this continent from the land bridge formed so many, many, moons ago.
  I no longer study any fighting forms but concentrate on  Chi-Gong Tia-Chi, a clinically proven healing form that can be utilized by persons of all ages 9 to 99, and still being used by some over the 100 mark.  It is also an honor to be asked by the seniors of the Senior Center, where I work, to instruct them in this healing art every weekday now, for the last year.  It has even provided some regeneration ( as in reversing the aging process ) for myself and many others.  This is what I consider the ultimate of the Martial Arts, and I use many of it's principles along with many others in the Healing processes I now use to help cure many of today's ills.  I have been working with many M.D. type doctors with this new curing the Mind, Body, and Spirit approach.  I also refer some of my clients to these doctors when their conditions warrant it.  I have found, as many have, that most medical conditions, stem from an existing spiritual situation.  This is where I do my best work, and have had the best results.  So if you have any questions, or just want to exchange a line or two, write me at the e-mail address below.
