A Healing Prayer
TUNKASHILA
Wahi Najin
I offer my prayers within the Sacred Smoke
I offer my prayers from my heart
There is one of your children in need of your Healing Breath
My humble self does ask for your presence
That you come as the all powerful Bear of the First Creation
That your Beauty and Strength may hold this one of yours Tunkashila
In your most Powerful embrace, that which we know to be LOVE.
I know that as the Bear of the First Creation, you are all healing
and all love,
And as you squeeze this child tight wherever it may hurt,
You will breath your Healing Breath
Within and around this fragile human body
And it will be the Sacred Breath, the Healing Breath of the First Creation.
I give thanks Tunkashila for I know
That if it be the time for this child to return home
It will be in the arms of your Divine Embrace
Forever safe, Forever loved, Forever held in Peace and Light.
HAYEWA YELO
MITAKUYE OYASIN
It is Done.
Lakota Meanings
Tunkashila or Tunkasila = Grandfather = Great Spirit, The Creator,
God etc.
Wahi Najin = I arrive to stand here and pray.
Hayewa yelo = I speak to you in prayer or I send my voice out.
Mitakuye oyasin = All my relations, everything that lives for one cannot
exist
without the other.
In the eyes of Spirit we are all their children, no matter what age
we are, that
is why the prayer say’s child.
The Bear is the Totem symbol of healers in both Celtic and Native Indian
spiritual belief. The Bear of the first creation appears white but
is not the polar
bear and of course stands at North with the Sacred White Buffalo
