all our relations- a video prayer on oneness.

Aho Mitakuye Oyasin

Lakota for all my relations.. Often a prayer used in sweat lodge and other ceremony honoring all those beings of the earth, two legged, four legged, tall standing ones, winged ones…it is a gentle reminder that we are all one.

I know that we live in a world that encourages our separateness but I take this moment here today and invite you to feel your connection to the rest of this world you live in. It is through our fundamental connection to each other, to the planet, to the tribes that dwell here that we can affect change.

Change is necessary for healing, for growth. Nothing short of reaching our hand out and touching the rest of the world with compassion, love, forgiveness and a sense of equality will allow that change to occur.

Let yourself take a moment and feel your connections to all of your relations.
