My First Lesson In My Medicine WheelA Poem by Healing StarIt is one thing to be told about the Medicine Wheel, it is a far greater thing to be shown how to Use it.He comes in the Night To wake my Heart To wake my Heart He comes in the Night And says it is Time He says it is Time
It is time to Listen And write it Down And write it Down It is time to Listen When there is little Sound There is little Sound
My Warrior Guide He whispers to Me He whispers to Me My Warrior Guide With His Heart He Sees With His Heart He Sees
As we Come to the Circle We stand at the South We stand at the South What is the Energy Of the Day Of the Day
One of the Twenty Who Guard you Today Who Guard you Today One of the Twenty Who will Guide you this Day Who will Guide you this Day
What is the Work You will do on this Day Do on this Day What is the Work You put down your Bow You set aside your Shield
Now is the Choice From which direction to Enter And with the same Voice You will also leave the Center When your work is Done You have chosen my Son
And now you walk In From the North You enter your Center And you Breathe it In Your first time you Enter Here You look and you
See Like pieces of Pie
First the White and the Red Then you Turn 180 And you See The Black and the Yellow The colors of the Corn Your Seeds of the Morn
You are Invited To step out to the West You begin to Speak Of not having the Courage Now what do you Hold In your right hand my Son
This is your Feelings The Flowers You Hold And in your Left Hand There is Nothing The Illusion you Speak There is Nothing There
You take the Flowers Back to your Center You take the Lesson It is Yours Back to your Core It is Yours, Forevermore
As you stand at your Center You Breathe it In You step into your Future This one that is Yours Reminded of the First Step That we continually Take
As you step into Your Dream You are asked was that Hard No of course it Wasn't You answer the Bard And you are There It is Now, it is Done
And you step out to the Edge This represents, going further In You are there and you See A holy Sea of Green The Color of your Heart You are at your Center, anywhere Within
You go back to your Center You bring back the Green You are invited to Step again Into the Future of the Unknown The bigger picture, into which you Fit The possibilities, all of which you're Shown
And you feel the Wind It seems to blow through You And as it does the Fire it Grows It is your Fire that Grows He says this is the Place Of the Fire Wind
You Feel in your Heart A cleansing with This A preparing of You For the Next Part As you step back in Your Center The Love comes flowing to You
And then He says It It was you who drew Him Near And then He says It And you fall to your Knees You cry for the Joy Of what you've been Shown
It was the Vision That I have been Seen It was the Vision That I have been Seen The Tears they did Flow My Tears they did Flow
You saw the Grandmother Bobbing just outside your Circle But this is the Future Why is she There And then He tells You It is a Mirror
She is an Ancestor Come to show you her Joy She is Old, but still Playful You see Love in her Eye She is so Happy you See Her She can't hold it In You sit in your Center And then you talk a While Of the little One That you want to Heal You pray for his Heart You pray for his Seal And then it is Time To rise from your Center And walk out through the North You walk out through the North All the while you Listen And are mindful of those who Come © 2014 Healing Star |
