The Medicine Wheel

The Medicine Wheel.

Hello,

This is Ana Barreto and today I invite you to meditate with me and create a new beginning.

The Medicine Wheel practice is a powerful energy balancing that supports you in soothing,

Easing,

And healing aspects of your life that need help.

This practice will reset the energy of your life.

You will need a pillow to sit on,

Five stones,

It can be any stones,

One candle,

And a compass so you can access the directions.

You can download the compass from your cell phone.

Also,

You could use sage incense if you like it,

But it's not necessary,

And a singing bowl or any item that can make a sound such as a spoon heating against a cup or a pan.

In this guided practice,

We will call on the power of the elements of nature,

Air,

Water,

Fire,

And earth.

We also will call on the seasons of our lives,

The spring,

Summer,

Fall,

And winter.

Lastly,

We also will call on our spiritual teachers and helping guides to release resistance,

Learn and find physical and spiritual guidance to restore harmony in your body,

Environment,

And the nine areas of your life,

Which are career,

Spirituality,

Knowledge,

Family,

Finance,

Recognition,

Relationships,

Creativity,

Or children,

Friendships or travel,

And health.

We will create an energetic medicine will and release in several spaces to access the wisdom and support available to you.

The effectiveness of this will will be based on your ability to allow well-being into the will and the level of energy you are able to access and increase.

Basically,

Just trust and welcome the easy flow into your world.

Our body knows how to heal itself and our lives know how to find harmony.

Most of our diseases and distress are caused by us with distress.

We disallow harmony with our thoughts and emotions.

We do need some stress,

But not at the frequency and rate that we usually experience.

Over time,

This condition of being overly stressed becomes a habit,

And without any effort,

We create an easy disposition to be ill and displeased with life.

When we have too much stress in our lives,

We interfere with the intelligence we inherited that knows how to be healthy and happy.

At the end of this meditation,

You will need another 15 to 20 minutes to sit still and hear additional guidance about the thoughts,

Emotions,

And behaviors that are creating disharmony in your life.

The Native Indians and African cultures widely practice the medicine will.

This practice is rooted in honoring nature,

The seasons,

And ultimately the Creator.

It calls on the energy of the four directions,

The seasons,

And the meaningful circle of life.

Our ancestors used to practice the medicine will often.

They set the stones in place for years.

These days,

Medicine wills are done sporadically and used to heal illness,

Stop life catastrophes,

Reset life balance,

And as a means to deepen our spirituality.

I do not consider the medicine will to be a pagan practice or something from the dark side.

As we honor the creations of God and his marvelous ideas such as the seasons,

The directions,

And the elements,

We have a partnership with higher sources.

There are many variations of this practice.

I combine it with some elements of the Feng Shui by using the nine areas of the Bagua to realign your intentions and have a balanced impact on your overall life.

When you do this for 15-20 minutes,

You reset the energy of your life.

You can yield great results with this process.

Heightened creativity,

Reliable intuition,

Insights into healing disease,

Increased prosperity,

And improved relationships are some of the benefits.

For me,

I have found an increase in inner peace,

A clear mind,

Focused energy on my intention,

And a deeper connection with my spirituality.

Please know that most spiritual practice have a profound impact on your life and the medicine will is no different.

You will know within three days if this is the practice you need at this time.

That is because there is a slight backward movement before you can see the progress.

Do not be alarmed.

It only means that you have begun the right approach.

Be patient and wait three days while expecting to see the improvement.

One reason for this delay is that before completing the medicine will,

We are operating on a lower level of energy.

When we tap into the energy of God's creation,

The seasons,

With an intention,

We begin to create purposely with the power of nature and we move up a few levels.

Let's begin.

Find a place where you won't be disturbed for 20 minutes.

Set the pillow on the floor in the middle of the room.

Sit on the pillow.

Use the compass to locate the four directions.

East,

South,

West,

And North.

Place a stone in each direction.

The fifth stone could be in the middle,

Under you,

Or next to any of the other stones you already positioned.

You can use additional stones to complete the circle,

But it's not necessary.

You will begin by sitting facing east and moving clockwise.

Place the candle and sage next to the first stone.

Light the candle to bring light into your world.

Light the sage incense if you like.

It will enhance your intuition and connection with the divine.

Face the first stone in the east direction.
