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.
