The first prayer in the Shamanic Prayer Guide sequence I use everyday. This prayer evolved from a more personalized morning prayer that included specific family names. I encourage you to try this on and personalize it for your use as we go about creating the rituals in our lives that support us in our daily actions. "Great Spirit, Great Creator — I give thanks for this day, and for the body that carries me through it. I give thanks for this mind, even in its struggle. I give thanks for the people who choose to walk beside me, and for the ancestors whose sacrifices made my life possible. I do not take this day for granted. I receive it as the gift it is."

This is a Welcome Orientation for all here at the Rainbow Path. For all new members, and those of you who've been here since we started - I recommend a listen to this orientation as we begin our work moving into a deeper healing practice for ourselves. I thank you for your support and commitment to your healing path. After listening, and if you feel complete - I encourage you to comment here by simply stating: I am choosing the path of the grounded seeker.
