Water ceremony of the American indigenous people for women

Find living water. By “living” I mean that it contains living beings such as healing minerals and water spirits. This water is best found in a mountain stream, a river or a natural source. If you cannot carry out the ceremony in one of these places, get plenty of living water and carry it back in a container for use in a different location.

This ceremony is the most powerful at night, shortly after sunset or even more after midnight, but before 3 a.m. This is the time of the spirits. During the day there are far too many distractions and disorders than that the spirits could have a lot of influence or communication.

leave all people in a circle. Sing a song or pray that the helper spirits (tunkasilas) or angel calls or what kind of mind you are used to or with which you feel comfortable. Then go to every person with burning sage, cedar, welding grass or other medicinal herbs and let the smoke cover your body to clean and remove all negative energies. In the meantime, some people receive news for the person to be cleaned. This gives the ceremony a special meaning.

A song or prayer for healing physical, mental, mental and heart matters is appropriate at this time. After the song / prayer, people in the circle go around and speak their individual prayers and wishes.

Then everyone lay down or sit down in the water. Or the water can be watered gently over everyone. When the water runs down our body, it takes the impurities with it and sends it back to Mother Earth for cleaning and reuse.

One last song or prayer to thank the spirits, angels, helpers, etc., concludes the ceremony. After that it is always good to share food.

As a hint, this is another water ceremony, which is much easier and can be used every day. Pour water (this can be normal tap water) into a container. I use a pumpkin or a wooden bowl, but a simple glass would be enough. Go outside and sing a song or speak a prayer. Then pour part of the water into the ground four times. Drink the remaining water so that the prayers get into your being. If you pour the water into the ground, the life blood (water) of Mother Earth will be returned to her. This water, which was once poured into the ground, hikes around the planet in underground waterways and maybe even to the sea, depending on where they live. I would suggest if you feel the urge to pray for peace or environmental interests, this is the ultimate way to send these prayers.
