Four Directions Prayer
“We start in the East where the sun rises, and brings us the
opportunity to begin again with each new day. Breath.
We go to the South and honor our creativity, our children, the
child in us, our playfulness, joy, and hope. Earth.
We go to the West where the sun goes down, and the blackness of
introspection begins when the day is done. Water.
We go to the North where our rest awaits us. Knowledge, stamina,
compassion, silence. Fire.
We use a feather to fan the sacred smoke in each direction, one
drums, one sings, one dances, one prays, until we have circled back
to the east.”
