This article will show how Native American/Native Canadian healers connect with the spirit world.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Ceremonial Rattle or Hand Drum
  1. Step 1

    First decide on the reason for connecting with the spirit world. Are you requiring answers for something? Or, are just playing around? If you answered yes to the latter. Then stop here, because this is not to be played with.

  2. Step 2

    Second, find a secluded spot (quiet as possible), you may try this at home or out in nature. If you are trying this at home, do it at night because that is when there is more spiritual activity. Darken the room as much as possible. Sit on the floor in a comfortable position facing east. Acknowledge the four directions starting from the east - south - west and north. Call on the spirits from all four directions. Use you rattle while doing this. Try to keep your eyes open throughout your ceremony. If there are spirits around, they will show themselves. If you fear, then stop - ask them to leave. If not then continue.

  3. Step 3

    Third, making a connection. If there is a spirit present, thank them for coming, ask him/her the questions you want answers for. If they will respond verbally. Then, close your eyes and listen with your mind and make a connection that way.

  4. Step 4

    Four, once you make the connection and have received your answer. Then ask him or her to go back where they came from. You do not want them to stay too long (any longer than 30 min), they may get too comfortable and will not want leave. You may also sing them home. Thank them for coming and until next time. Make sure not to leave your objects laying around, always hang them above torso level (waistline).

Tips & Warnings
  • If you don't make a connection the first time. Keep trying and focus on why you are doing this.
  • Note to women, it is the Native tradition that you not do this during your moon time (during your period).
  • Note to all, if you fear then this practice will yield marginal results. If you want success then you need to open your self up and concentrate (focus).
