Welcome to Calling of the Directions.
Many indigenous tribes from all over the world have their way of connecting to the unseen world,
Which is our ability to connect to the elements,
To our ancestors,
To the spiritual energy that is invisible yet everywhere.
Each direction has a specific energy and that varies from tribe to tribe of which element is in which direction.
Join me in deepening your spiritual connection to your ancestors,
To yourself,
And to all creation as I call in the directions.
And when I finish invoking one direction,
I will say the word,
Aho,
Which means,
And so it is.
Aho.
Then we go to the next direction.
I invite you to open your heart,
Open your mind,
And notice how you feel in this moment and then when it's finished.
I invite you to take a deep breath in,
And let go of any tension that you feel in your body with an audible sigh.
Allow yourself to just let go.
Repeating that one more time,
Becoming aware of your body,
Letting go,
And relaxing.
We begin by calling in the energies of the east.
Grandmothers and grandfathers,
Spirit keepers of the east,
We call you to join us here in this sacred space.
We call upon our relatives in the east.
We call upon the knowledge and the wisdom that is held in the east,
Invoking the invisible element of air,
Which connects all life and all beings everywhere through the invisible web of our breath.
Bring forth your teachings,
Your wisdom,
And your guidance.
As we are open to connecting to you,
May your energy move through us to be used by us for the healing and harmony of all.
We call upon the medicine of the eagle.
Help us see clearly our visions,
Our goals,
Our life.
Bring forth the energy of the eagle to help us guide our way in harmony and balance.
We welcome you here in this sacred space.
Aho.
We move to the south,
Calling upon the energy of the south,
The grandmothers,
The grandfathers,
The gatekeepers of the south.
Bring forth your teachings,
Your guidance,
And your wisdom.
We call you now in this sacred space.
I call upon the element of fire,
The transformational energy within and without,
The healing power of Father,
Son,
Helping us digest.
We are in a great transformational time on earth.
Give us the strength that we need to transform all that no longer serves us in our own life.
So we walk in balance,
In ease,
And peace.
May we release all that does not serve us in our thoughts,
In our emotions.
So we may live life on purpose,
Invoking our own light,
Passions,
Through play,
Through our authenticity.
We welcome you here.
We welcome these teachings to move through us,
To be used by us for the healing and harmony of all.
We call upon the medicine of the serpent,
One who sheds his skin.
Help us release,
Let go the need to control and allow the energy to flow.
We welcome you here in the sacred space.
We welcome you into our heart.
We bring our energy now into the West.
We call upon the grandmothers and grandfathers of the West,
The gatekeepers,
The ancient ones of the West.
We welcome your teachings,
Your healing,
And your guidance in this time.
We call upon the healing energy of water,
The liquid life within us that moves to the blood of our veins,
Connecting to the rivers and oceans of Mother Earth.
May the cleansing waters bathe our skin,
Help heal our bodies.
We give thanks for the waters within us and on the earth,
And may all beings remember the water is sacred and what we do to the water we do to ourself.
We bring forth the healing to all waters,
Starting with ourself.
May we remember our sacredness.
What we think,
What we speak,
What we eat is nourishment and food for our inner waters.
We bring forth the medicine of the dolphin.
May you teach us to play.
May we remember we are part of community,
And if we are not feeling it,
May we be open to experiencing it.
Help us not take life so seriously.
Bring forth the medicine of the dolphin within us now.
We welcome you here in this sacred space.
We bring our awareness now to the North,
Calling upon the gatekeepers,
The ancient ones,
The grandmothers and grandfathers of the North.
Those who have come before us in ceremony and celebration,
Hear our prayers.
We ask for your guidance now.
We invoke and call upon the element of earth,
The great mother,
Pachamama.
We give thanks for your abundance,
For your nourishment,
For your strength,
For your teachings.
We welcome you here and thank you for always taking us through our pain,
Our suffering,
And our joy.
For providing so much abundance,
Nourishment,
Medicine,
Food,
Always grounding us,
Healing us.
Thank you,
Great mother.
May we remember we are always connected to you and your energy moves through us to be used by us.
May we feel our grounding energy to you in every walk we take,
In every step we make.
The medicine of the bear.
May the strength of that bear come to us.
May it help us where we are needing strength in our lives.
And may that strength ripple out to all beings who are suffering at this time.
Time of going inwards is just as important and nourishing as being outwards.
Thank you,
Great mother.
Thank you for the energy of the bear spirit.
We welcome you here in this sacred space.
We bring our awareness now up to grandfather sky,
Calling on the star nations,
Our guides,
Our angels,
The invisible energy that watches over us.
May we all be protected,
Guided,
In a good way,
Free of harm,
Making decisions to better all beings,
Helping us open our heart and remember we are all connected in the invisible web of life.
Thank you for watching over us.
Thank you for this day.
As above,
So below,
We go down,
Down,
Below the earth,
Bringing our awareness down to where the fire creates the crystals.
And in this great mystery,
There is power.
In the darkness,
There is teachings.
In our own challenges,
What we experience in life,
Give us the strength to see the challenge as an opportunity to grow and learn in the school of life.
Thank you for the darkness and for the teachings of the unknown,
Mystery,
And all opportunities that knock on our door and our path to help us become more compassionate humans.
Welcome in the sacred space.
Coming now into the center that connects all directions,
All life,
All beings into the heart.
Our home,
Our center.
Give us a strength to see ourselves and others from the center of our home.
May we have compassion for ourselves and all life,
Remembering we're all connected.
May we make choices that help the betterment of all humans.
All sentient beings.
May we remember it's through the power of love that heals all beings.
Sending love to our heart,
To our pain,
To our suffering.
Sending love to all living beings on the planet at this time.
May we unite with each heartbeat.
Thank you for this beautiful day.
