Mitakuye Oyasin

Kanske ni undrar vad Mitakuye Oyasin betyder så därför berättar jag om det.

Den säger så otroligt mycket och den är väldigt speciell för mig och jag hoppas att även ni kan hitta något i den.

Mitakuye Oyasin är en traditionell Lakota Sioux bön.

Den speglar den naturliga tron för dom flesta Native American traditioner och trosuppfattningar om att "Everything is Connected" allt är besläktat.

"all my relatives," "we are all related," "all my relations."

Det är en bön med budskap om enighet och harmoni för alla former av liv, andra människor, djur, fåglar, insekter, träd och blommor, till och med klippblock, floder, berg och dalar.

Aho Mitakuye Oyasin....All my relations. I honor you in this circle of life with me today. I am grateful for this opportunity to acknowledge you in this prayer....

To the Creator, for the ultimate gift of life, I thank you.

To the mineral nation that has built and maintained my bones and all foundations of life experience, I thank you.

To the plant nation that sustains my organs and body and gives me healing herbs for sickness, I thank you.

To the animal nation that feeds me from your own flesh and offers your loyal companionship in this walk of life, I thank you.

To the human nation that shares my path as a soul upon the sacred wheel of Earthly life, I thank you.

To the Spirit nation that guides me invisibly through the ups and downs of life and for carrying the torch of light through the Ages, I thank you.

To the Four Winds of Change and Growth, I thank you.

You are all my relations, my relatives, without whom I would not live. We are in the circle of life together, co-existing, co-dependent, co-creating our destiny. One, not more important than the other. One nation evolving from the other and yet each dependent upon the one above and the one below. All of us a part of the Great Mystery.


Thank you for this Life.
