"[The Old People] would gather words as they walked a sacred path across the Earth, leaving nothinig behind but prayers and offerings."  

---- Cleone Thunder, NORTHERN ARAPAHOE
 
Whenever we walk on the Earth, we should pay attention to what is going on. Too often our minds are somewhere else, thinking about the past or thinking about the future. When we do this, we are missing important lessons. The Earth is a constant flow of lessons and learnings which also include a constant flow of positive feelings. If we are aware as we walk, we will gather words for our lives, the lessons to help our children; we will gather feelings of interconnectedness and calmness. When we experience this, we should say or think thoughts of gratitude. When we do this, the next person to walk on the sacred path will benefit even more.  


My Creator, today, let me be aware of the sacred path.

Naši predniki so že davno ugotovili, da je ansvet učinkovitejši, če pride iz ust osebe, ki uživa ugled. Svoj skromni zdravilni repertoar je zato šaman v tistih časih obogatil z magičnim obredom ali mistiko, v katero je skril svoje bivanje. Nedoumljivost njegovega početja in izjemen položaj izvedenca, kakršnega mu je skupnost pripisovala, sta vlivala bolniku strahospoštovanje. Čim trdnejše je bilo njegovo verovanje v šamansko moč, tem bolj so se v njem mobilizirale moči organizma za obnovo zdravja; ne vemo pa, koliko jih je kljub veri podleglo bolezni. Iz trdenga prepričanja, da šaman ve vse, on sam pa nič, je človek v stiski z zaupanjem položil sebe in svojo usodo v roke drugega. Priznal mu je popolno avtoriteto (včasih tudi božansko moč), slepo je sledil njegovim navodilom. Še danes avtoriteta skupaj s trdnim prepričanjem in brezmejnim azupanjem (zlasti, če je to zadnja bilka, ki se je človek s poslednjimi močmi oklene) omogoča uspešnost šarlatanov in karizmatičnih osebnosti. Čeprav mehanizmi njihovega delovanja še niso zadovoljivo pojasnjeni, kaže, da lahko omenjeni psihološi dejavniki spravijo v tek proces sprememb vsaj z začasnim izboljšanjem zdravja.

"Prayer is the best answer to all of the trials that face us, because without prayer, even if we succeed in accomplishing some great goal in the eyes of men, we have failed in our sacred responsibilities, and thus we have failed in what is truly important."  

--Thomas Yellowtail, CROW  

What are our sacred responsibilities? One is to be of maximum service to the Creator, and two is to serve the people. In a way, it's like the Great Spirit is the employer and we are the employees. We live each day, do what we do, accomplish our goals, face our difficulties, overcome them all to the Glory of the Creator. We do these things to make Him proud! Even if we work for a company, agency or tribe, they are nor really our employer; the Creator is our employer. Working for the Creator is better than working for a human being, because each night we can talk to the Creator and ask Him, "Well, how did I do today?" He answers back each night, "I'm proud of you, my child; sleep well, and in the morning I'll give you a new set of growing experiences."  


Great Spirit, today, let me work for you. You will be my new boss.

"It's time. If you are to walk the path of heart, then it is time..."  

--Nippawanock, ARAPAHOE  

If not now, when? If not me, who? To walk the path of the heart is a great honor. Every human has the choice to walk this path, but very few will decide to make it. Why? Well, because you can't act and behave like everyone else behaves. You must be the person who will learn to look within. You must be the person who will be fully accountable for yourself. You must be the person who prays and meditates. You must be the person who will sacrifice. You must decide to be a Peaceful Warrior. What will you decide today?  


Oh, Great Mystery, lead me on the path of the heart.

"...Grandmother the Earth. That power is here all the time. It is continuous, and nobody controls it."  

--Wallace Black Elk, LAKOTA  

There are certain powers that the human being has no choice but to obey. We cannot negotiate or barter with this power. Our choice is either to conform or to live out of harmony. Whatever our choice, it will be the end result in our lives that we notice. So it is with the powers of the Earth which produce life. The Earth has the life force power. If anyone plants a seed, the seed will grow. The Earth treats everyone equally. The human cannot interfere, only obey. We should all show great respect for the Earth and Her powers.  


Great Spirit, today, let me honor and respect the power of the Grandmother, the Earth.
