Native American Blessings:
May You Walk In Beauty -A North Amercian Indian Blessing, a stunningly beautiful poem to say for yourself or for someone you wish to bless:
In beauty may you walk.
All day long may you walk.
Through the returning seasons may you walk.
On the trail marked with pollen may you walk.
With grasshoppers about your feet may you walk.
With dew about your feet may you walk.
With beauty may you walk.
With beauty before you, may you walk.
With beauty behind you, may you walk.
With beauty below you, may you walk.
With beauty all around you, may you walk.
In old age wandering on a trail of beauty,
Lively, may you walk.
In old age, wandering on a trail of beauty,
Living again, may you walk.
It is finished in beauty.
It is finished in beauty.
Say this everyday for yourself or for someone you care about as an affirmation, it will lift your spirits.
A Prayer For The Earth
Earth Healing Ceremony
by: Medicine Grizzly Bear
O Great Creator,
I come before you in a humble manner
and offer you this sacred pipe.
With tears in my eyes and an ancient song from my heart
I pray.
To the four powers of Creation,
To the Grandfather Sun,
To the Grandmother Moon,
To the Mother Earth,
And to my ancestors.
I pray for my relations in Nature,
All those who walk, crawl, fly, and swim,
Seen and unseen,
To the good spirits that exist in every part of Creation.
I ask that you bless our elders and children and families and friends,
And the brothers and sisters in prison.
I pray for the ones who are sick on drugs and alcohol
And for those homeless and forlorn.
I also pray for peace among the four races of humankind.
May there be good health and healing for this Earth,
May there be Beauty above me,
May there be Beauty below me,
May there be Beauty in me,
May there be Beauty around me.
I ask that this world be filled with Peace, Love and Beauty.
