Create Your Own Wheel

Here's an idea.  Why not create your own Medicine Wheel.  It doesn't have to be elaborate or even big.  You could find a quiet spot in your yard and simply mark the directions and the center.  It would give you a focal point for your meditations.  It would mark your day and year and assist you in reviewing your life.
You can also create one in your home.  It would only take a few special stones or even crystals.
Once you have your Wheel you may come to it daily.  When you awaken - perhaps a quick spray smudge to cleanse yourself and welcome the day.  At sunset step into or sit beside your Wheel and think about your day - the lessons, the gifts, is there any healing or forgiveness necessary?
In our home we have a ritual we call the Spirit Plate.  Every evening we create a plate of food - a sampler of all the wonderful things we are going to enjoy for dinner.  We take it to our Wheel and say prayers.  We give thanks for all our Blessings.  We prayer for healing for our friends and the planet.  We offer our abundance to the Spirit of Sedona and the Spirit of our Home and Land.  We place the Spirit Plate in the Center of the Wheel. Then we enjoy our own meal.
This gives us a wonderful opportunity daily to step out of the routine and the hectic and the chores of life - to STOP and be grateful.  We center and remember what is truly important.  Then we really enjoy our meal, our home, or life and our family.
A south western Medicine Wheel is like a little Japanese Garden.  It will give you a place and space to reflect, to pray, to envision, to release, to heal, to give thanks and to BE.
Ah Ho!
