Re-remembering Your Sacred Power / Medicine Breath, Spirit, Life
Humanity can share in a harmonious balance TAKU SKUN SKUN “everything which moves”
I~NI~PI Sacred Indigenous Traditional Ceremony
The ceremony is a powerful way to pray, and it cleanses, heals and helps us to grow. This original sacred traditional ceremony will be led by respected Indigenous Hoksila and Carol, members of the Oglala Lakota on the Pine Ridge reservation in Pine Ridge, South Dakota.
The I~ni~pi ceremony is for the intent of re-remembering. You remember that you have one life. Take care of your life. Cleanse your water. Take care of your water.
Every living thing holds sacred water within. When you do this you will have your glow to help those around you.
Remember we are all under one honunpa (sacred pipe). There is no separation in all of the creation. Every living thing is a spirit. We as humans hold no greater value over any living breathing thing on this planet. This is to be remembered.
Leave your ego outside. Use this time to get out of your mind and into your heart. This ceremony is for you, the renewal of your breath. Whatever burdens you, whatever troubles are in your heart, whatever prayers you carry, go into this sacred space and give it all to the Tunkasilas, the grandfathers, the sacred rocks, the first creation.
From here, carry your light and your breath into your one, brief life. Everything and everyone is in need of our prayers, our faith in the universe to evolve as a two-legged together and help each other.
We are one. We must care for each other. That is what we are here to remember.
