Prayer of the 7 Galactic Directions
This prayer calls upon wisdom and blessings from the seven directions - It asks for these gifts so that war may end and all things may be known through love and harmony.
The Mayan acknowledge seven directions: east, north, west, south, up, down and center (in that order). Each direction has a color and/or element attached. Each direction has a blessing to bestow. By performing this prayer, you are firstly and very importantly asking permission to access the gifts that will freely come to you. The asking of permission is a very important sign of respect in Mayan tradition. The Mayan (and no doubt other indigenous populations as well) seek permission of the earth before they plough the ground; the corn before they harvest it; the water before they swim or bathe.
This meditation brings clarity, knowledge, right action, harvest, blessings from ancestors and Earth, and mutual love.
The Mayan people perform this prayer upon waking and before they “step into” their day. They also perform this prayer before important rituals. This prayer is very powerful if used daily.
