This book is also dedicate to Children and adults who experienced "Adverse Childhood Experiences" and complex post traumatic stress, Ms. Middletent is one of the survivors. It was very kind of President Biden to officially apologize to the Native American People, a step forward in the right direction.

In November 2024 the President apologized to the Native Americans for past wrong doings to the Indigenous People of the United States, and also in 2023 the Pope apologizing to the Canadian Indigenous People in Canada for the treatment of the children while in care and being cared for by the churches and institutions, the children were in foster homes, orphanages, and boarding schools. In 2009, the Prime Minister of Australia Mr. Kevin Rudd officially apologized to the Indigenous people of Australia for past practices and policies towards the Indigenous People and non Indigenous people, who were placed in foster care and orphanages and institutions and some of the children were sent from other countries to be cared for in Australia in those places. In this book Ms. Middletent shares with you some of her coping techniques that helped her along the way of survival. This book is about how she was able to unlock her unhealed repressed childhood trauma with the help of her mentor and teacher Valarie in the USMC in the High Desert of Twentynine Palms California, with her help and Ms. Middletent's spiritual walkabout experiences out in the Mojave Desert, Ms. Middletent was able to discover and learn about her Cultural Heritage and art, she would not be doing what she is doing today, winning Awards for her art for Earth Days, and being an advocate speaker for survivors of trauma and, Adverse Childhood Experiences, She would not be doing the things she is doing today if it wasn't for Valarie.

The desert has been a wonderful healing place for her, Spiritually, physically, mentally and emotional healing and well-being. Surrounded by and living side by side with nature, plants and the animals and the Healing Joshua trees in the desert and the beautiful clear blue sky's and clean fresh air and the clear sky's in the evening seeing all the heavenly stars and planets of the universe at night.

Ms. Middletent says she is full of gratitude and love for being so fortunate and blessed to have been bought here in Divine time.

You could say this is why some of the Sages and Spiritual Healers and Teaches have been spending time in their secret retreats and Spiritual Centers here in the desert going back many many years but it was kept a secret, looking across the vastness beauty of desert at Little Uluru connecting to the Divine Universal Consciousness and the ever expanding universe.

When you are ready, You are welcome to come out here and join me in the desert to experience your "Spiritual Walkabout Awakening" to meditate, rejuvenate and discover and learn about the meaning of life who you really are and what your true purpose in life is and why we are here. You never know, but you may even find much more than Ms. Middletent did, and you may even find your Spiritual Teacher out here also, through your Spiritual Walkabout Awakening.

Through contemplation and meditating and looking across the beauty and vastness of the desert, day and evening and seeing little uluru from a distance, her mind body and soul connects to the Divine Universal Consciousness, space, time, stands still, silence, listening and connecting to the sound current up
