Shamanic Prayers for Healing – Elemental Prayer

Shaman use many methods to align and to connect themselves with the spiritual and metaphysical realm. One of the ways they do this is through taking time to connect with and acknowledge the elemental powers of nature, the universe, God or Creator, through prayer.
The Shamanic Elemental Prayer is one of many prayers for healing and spiritual balance, that we are blessed to have access to from the sharing of Shamanic wisdom and rituals.
This prayer is beautiful, and equally so is the Shamanic view of its purpose – Walking In Balance With The Earth.

Shamanic Healing Prayers use a prayer ritual to attain attunement and to harmonize with the elemental energies. This is known as walking in balance with the earth. When in balance we are whole, when unbalanced we need to look inward and address that which is leading us astray. prayers for healing

Following is the prayer for healing, I hope you love it as much I do.
