  - Exploring Past Lives Through Shamanic Drumming - UUFR, February, 2001

Welcome East, Place of the Eagle and the Wing-ed Ones.
Where each day the sun is reborn in a new beginning,
Much as our spirits are reborn, life after lifetime.
Help us to feel the stirrings of hope, the promise of renewal.
Fill our hearts with recognition of the chance of living a life 
differently and better than before.

Welcome, South, Place of Coyote and Cougar 
  and the other Four Legg-eds.
Where the sun's warmth calls us out and shines brightly 
  upon our present lives - lives full of activity and play and work.
Help us to awaken to the meaning of our busy-ness.
Fill our hearts with purpose and resolve for Life's service.

Welcome West, Place of Bear, hunter of the Water Creatures.
Where the setting sun gives us time to reflect on our own ending 
  and passing, just as the day ends and passes into night.
Help us to prepare and gather our memories.
Fill our hearts with remembrances of lives well lived, 
   lessons to take on our forward journey.
A-HO


Welcome, North, Place of White Buffalo, Land of Spirits.
Where only shadows and the moon hint of our regeneration.
Help us to see our visions clearly, remember our dreams 
  and connect with our past.
Fill our hearts with anticipation of the dawn of another life, 
  our own rebirth.
A-HO


Welcome, Center, Place of the All and the None.
Where there is neither day nor night,
But, instead, a place of timelessness.
Help us to cross the boundaries, to enter the mist 
  and reach the inner wisdom of all our lifetimes.
Fill our hearts with knowing
   Of our failures and successes
   Of our joys and sorrows
   Of our realities and dreams
   Of our yesterdays and our tomorrows
