Teach us the Beauty Way   To the winds of the West Mother jaguar, Protect our medicine space. Teach us the way of peace, to live impeccably Show us the way beyond death.   To the winds of the North. Hummingbird, Grandmothers and Grandfathers, Ancient Ones Come and warm your hands by our fires Whisper to us in the wind We honor you who have come before us, And you who will come after us, our children's children.   To the winds of the East. Great eagle, condor Come to us from the place of the rising Sun. Keep us under your wing. Show us the mountains we only dare to dream of. Teach us to fly wing to wing with the Great Spirit.   Mother Earth. We've gathered for the healing of all of your children. The Stone People, the Plant People. The four-legged, the two-legged, the creepy crawlers. The finned, the furred, and the winged ones. All our relations. Father Sun, Grandmother Moon, to the Star Nations. Great Spirit, you who are known by a thousand names And you who are the unnamable One. Thank you for bringing us together And allowing us to sing the song of Life.

When we close sacred space, we again address these elements and spirit helpers. We thank them for keeping our space, for keeping us focused and protected, and for their love and wisdom that they share with us at this time. It is important to close the space when we have completed our healing work and prayers inside this sacred circle, or space.
