Circlekeepers, a lunar cycle journey with the Medicine Wheel

— Playing Meditation —

Go to the ocean or visit a lake, river, or pond (at mid-day if you can) at least once this week. Remember what it was like when you were a child playing in the sunshine and the water. Recapture those moments by inviting your inner child to play with you. Sing or hum the chants or songs from your childhood and move to the rhythm of the water.

— Cleansing Meditation —

Identify your childhood wounds; the stories you often share about yourself that express your childhood pain and keep you “stuck”. Offer these wounds to the waters and allow them to be washed away by bathing or washing your hands in the water. Acknowledge yourself for your inner strength and for the contributions that you have made to your own healing.

— Sitting Meditation —

Pay a visit to a special tree at midday. Choose a good solid tree and sit on the ground with your back against its trunk facing the South. Imagine that this is the Tree of Life, the channel that connects Heaven and Earth. Imagine what the roots are like as they grow deeply into the ground creating stability and foundation. Look up at the branches and experience how they grow upward and sway in the breeze. Trees teach us about the ability to be flexible; to bend in the wind and return to center. Remember to leave a gift for the tree before you part company.
