Getting Ready

For everyone who is planning to participate in Walking the Medicine Wheel 2011, when your package arrives, read through the folder on the Constitutional Pattern. This will prepare you for beginning the process.

Your constitutional pattern includes information on the element archetype present in your physical form. This is 50% of your pattern, inherited through your DNA from your ancestors. This element comes with its own inherent characteristics, qualities, tendencies, and issues.

The other 50% of your constitutional pattern comes in with you before birth, and reflects the soul's intention for this lifetime. It is called your cosmic pattern, and is generated from accumulated traumas, unresolved issues, preferences, and habits acquired through many lifetimes of incarnation.

Together, these two parts of the constitutional pattern form an energetic foundation for how you will experience the reality in this incarnation, which issues will be presented, and where the potential for healing lies. The Grace and Sovereignty section will describe the attitude and characteristics of one who has resolved the pattern you are working with.

The schedule for online Talking Circles is as follows:
Sunday, January 9--Opening Ceremony Talking Circle--9:00 pm Arizona Mountain time
Sunday, January 30--South Direction Talking Circle--9:00 pm Arizona Mountain time
Sunday, February 20--West Direction Talking Circle--9:00 pm Arizona Mountain time
Sunday, March 13--North Direction Talking Circle--9:00 pm Arizona Mountain time
Sunday, April 10--Closing Ceremony Talking Circle--9:00 pm Arizona Mountain time

We will begin each ceremony with a song or drumming, so if you have a drum or rattle, please have them available for the ceremony. For the opening ceremony, you may want to have your cedar bark smudge stick (included in package), matches, and a fire-proof ash tray or small bucket to contain the smudge.

We will hold the ceremonies exactly as if we are all together in one room, as the elders have taught the Talking Circle. You should all receive an e-mail from webex inviting you to the first one, with information on how to log on. I recommend you log on at least 15 minutes early before the ceremony starts the first time since there is a little software to download.

We look forward to our special time together!

Beginning the Medicine Wheel Walk 2011

On Friday night, Blew Thunder and I went into the temporary kiva space that was recently set up under guidance from the Grandmothers. We did a ceremony, calling in the spirits of the four directions, Mother Earth, Father Sky, and the Great Spirit to hold a sacred space for us and all the others who will be walking the Medicine Wheel with us beginning on January 9th.

We made our prayers and set intentions for healing the constitutional patterns that each of us will be working with. And we gave thanks for the coyote and the fox, each of whom has appeared to us very dramatically as we are preparing the packages for the Medicine Wheel Walk. We feel they are bringing a special medicine and support from the animal world for this particular journey.

Blue Thunder and I welcome each of you to this journey, and especially to this BLOG, our sacred space on the internet. We encourage each of you to write to it regularly as you walk through the 90 day process. Even if you are "not a writer", there is a huge benefit to the act of posting to the BLOG, even if it is just a few words to let people know you are still participating. Taking an action in the physical world that is in alignment with our intentions, is one of the keys to manifestation. So we encourage everyone to participate without judgement, without comparing yourself to anyone else, and without attachment.

This sacred Talking Circle has only a few conditions. One is that, no matter what is expressed here in these pages, it is honored as truth for that individual. And what is expressed here, stays here. We honor the privacy of each individual, and the intention for this space.

My agreement last year was to write 5 days every week to the BLOG. This year we have added an online Talking Circle ceremony that will be held 5 times through the journey. With this addition, and with the other projects we are involved with at this time, I am committing to write to the BLOG once a week for the 90 days. If every one who is walking the medicine wheel does the same, we will have an average of 1 to 2 new posts every day.

I send out a blessing to each one who making this transformative journey, for receiving the healing and positive changes that we are all seeking. May your Medicine Wheel Walk bring miracles and fulfillment on every level.

Aho!
