​
Sacred Location #1 - The Gatekeeper


Please face this powerful Grandfather Tree, The Gatekeeper to this Sacred Place and offer this prayer (or it could be words that you create on your own or flow out of your heart):  


" A Ho, Grandfather!  I offer many blessings to the Old Ones And Ancient Ones, to Grandfather Sky and Grandmother Earth and the Grandfather and Grandmother Tree, Rock and Planet People and to the Four-legged and Two legged and Winged and those that crawl under the earth and over the earth and to the Great Spirit of the Water in this place.  Please bless us on this sacred day we have taken for ourselves and help us keep our heart and mind and body open for any healing or energy or clearing you wish to offer us. A Ho.”

Then place your hands gently on either side of the tree and rest your forehead against the trunk, letting Him feel your heart.  You might also ask permission to enter this Sacred Area: “Permission to enter?”  I am sure you will hear a “yes”.  This is one of my oldest allies in the shamanic tradition here in Sedona!
