"Look at a tree, a flower, a plant. Let your awareness rest upon it. How still they are, how deeply rooted in Being. Allow nature to teach you stillness." ~Eckhart Tolle |
Sacred Prayer Pipe Ceremony RequestsI am always open to receive requests for Prayer.As a People's Sacred Prayer Pipe Carrier I am honored to put anyone's prayer requests in the pipe, where it is carried out to the whole universe.These requests can be for me to do ceremony where I am as well as for me to come to you and your community or gathering to do ceremony with you and your community.I was invited this last summer to Iowa and had the privilege of doing ceremony with 17 Methodist Ministers at the Sacred Land of the Effigy Mounds. Any invitation near or far is an honor.It has been customary to gift with tobacco when requesting ceremony. The tobacco is a symbol of your Heart's intent to honor and to give back. That giving can have many forms. In traditional life style it represented an effort to grow and harvest the sacred plant. Now some other form of giving or medium of exchange may more appropriately represent our effort. The heart knows what best represents it. In this day and age it may not be commercially raised tobacco, full of pollutants of the planet mother and family of life. However, organic home grown rustica is very sacred herb full of intent and power to carry our thoughts, intentions and prayers throughout the universe. |
