Elder’s Meditation of the Day



“ … when faithful human beings or other creatures called upon them for help, they [the Powers of the Four Directions] must send their powers … ”

–Fools Crow, LAKOTA

Each of the four directions has special powers. These powers or Grandfathers are there to help us. The powers are from the East, the South, the West, and the North.

To call upon the power we need to stand in the center and face each of the directions and honor all forms of life in each direction.  Facing the East we honor all the two legged, four legged, winged ones, plants’ nation and the animals.

We repeat this prayer in each of the four directions. This allows us to become centered. When we are centered, then we are ready to call the helpers. It is said, when the student is ready, the teacher appears. If we are to be ready, we need to remember to always get quiet first. We do this by honoring and praying to the four directions.

Grandfathers from the four directions, come to me today with Your powers. Give me Your gifts so I can serve the people.
