A White Seashell Healing Circle


From the book, “Dancing With The Wheel – The Medicine Wheel Workbook,” by Sun Bear, Wabun Wind, and Crysalis Mlilligan (1991)


What you need:  Smudge materials, enough white shells to make a circle, (notebook, pen or tape recorder optional).


Estimated time:  One hour.


1.      After smudging an area, make a circle of white seashells large enough to lie in.  Lie down in the circle, inviting in the healing, cleansing powers of the ocean, water elements, and the powers of white that are purity, enlightenment, perfection, balance, peace, tranquility, and evolution.


2.      Allow yourself to doze off.  Be aware of your dreams. They can bring a message to you.


3.      After twenty minutes, or when it feels appropriate to you, slowly get up and dismantle the circle with a prayer of thanks to the different elements that were there for you.  You can do this exercise at the ocean with the additional healing elements of wind and the sound of the rolling waves.


4.      Write or record your impressions.
