Designs, rituals and stories to model off and provide inspiration

One friend’s story: Having determined that a part of his life wasn’t working right, especially in relationships, he determined to undertake the process.

He sat down in a quiet part of his yard and prayed for guidance and gave thanks in advance for whatever the outcome. He continued to sit in meditation and a vision came to him of a circle he was to prepare.

He was drawn to a local park were he gathered pine cones, and from his backyard, four house bricks were collected. Then he went to his shed and pulled out a tarp and an old abalone shell that had belonged to his grandfather. (more…)

Building and Conducting one of your own.

We talk of building or constructing a healing circle or wheel, when in truth this is more an act of creation. In this act we will be drawing upon the best of ourselves physically, emotionally, intellectually and spiritually; especially spiritually!Healing Circle

As mentioned in part one – The objective to building a medicine wheel or healing circle is to provide a space which allows us to transcend our normal self and to gain access to our higher self or beyond, in order to facilitate healing and greater self understanding and knowledge.

The success or otherwise or your healing circle will depend in no small measure upon these key elements. 1) Your intention. 2) Respect and Understanding. 3) Rules for conducting your circle. 4) Rituals. 5) The materials used. 6) Your expectations.

You will also need to consider whether you are going to build a temporary or permanent circle, as this will determine its location, its size and also the materials used.

What are Healing Circles or Medicine Wheels ?

Part 1

Healing circles or medicine wheels are conducted all around the world, some in an informal fashion and others with a great deal of formality and ritual and observance of long standing tradition.  The common objective though is to provide a space which allows us to transcend our normal self and to gain access to our higher self or beyond and to facilitate healing and greater self understanding and knowledge.

"Akasha Keep" Healing Circle

Some are constructed on a purely temporary basis, to be used for the one session and then dismantled, while others are built as permanent sites to be used over and over as and when required. Some of these are located on natural energy vortexes and so have the added benefit of high natural energy emanating from Mother Earth. (This however is not a requirement).

The more these permanent ones are used the greater the energy builds and this is often felt by visitors as they enter its domain. In all events this is part of the objective, to so raise the vibrational frequency to allow for ascension into healing and understanding. This heightened energy also facilitates psychic communication allowing easier contact with guides, angels and the ancestors, who are only too willing to pass down wisdom and energy to be used for our greater good.
