The Seven Sacred Rites
* The Keeping of the Soul
* Inipi: The Sweat Lodge Ceremony or Rite of Purification
* Hanblecheyapi: Vision Quest
* Wiwanyag Wachipi: The Sun Dance Ceremony
* Hunkapi: Making Relatives
* Ishnata Awicalowan: Preparing a Girl for Womanhood

1~~~The Keeping of the Soul involves Honoring One’s Ancestors who have
passed away. This involves lighting incense or smudging with a sage
smudge stick, then ideally using aromas such as Lavender and Rose that
bring in Positive Energies!!! A Spirit Plate of scraps from One’s most
recent meal should be brought to the local Cemetery, or deceased
Relative’s Favorite place in Nature!!!!

2~~~The Sauna or Steam Bath!!! Everyone has Their Own heat tolerance, so
the Classic Sauna Bath or Steam Bath allows One to sweat in moderation
and privacy, and Purify Oneself similar to the Time~Honored Native
American Sweat Lodge!!!!

3~~~The Dreamtime!!! Pushing One’s body to extremes by fasting for days,
or enduring extreme heat or cold in order to receive a Vision from the
Great Spirit is unnecessary~~~Simply ask Creator for a Vision when going
to sleep, as the Australian Aboriginal People knew of the Dreamtime!!!!

4~~~The Community Dance and Shared Meal!!! When We Dance, Envision that
We are remaking the Earth with Our Feet, Sharing the Joy of Our Dance
Experience with Mother Earth!!!!

5~~~Making Relatives, or extending One’s Family!!! Regardless of how far
away one Lives from One’s Parents and Relatives, One can adopt Friends
and Animals as extended Family anywhere One is on Our Blessed Mother
Earth!!!!

6~~~Preparing Youths for Adulthood and helping Adults reclaim Their
Childhood Innocence and Sense of Wonder!!!

7~~~Enjoying Oneself while exercising or Playing Sports!!! Please
remember when playing team sports, rather than focusing on winning,
focus on having Fun, and You have already Won!!!!

8~~~The Salt Bath!!! This is specifically for the Age of Aquarius, and
One can add Sea Salt, Epsom Salt, or regular Table Salt to a Hot Bath,
and if One chooses also add one or more Essential Oils such as Lavender,
Rose, Lilac, Jasmine, Hawaiian Opium, Eucalyptus, or any combination tht
appeals to One’s Sense of Smell!!!! Jacuzzi Bath, Whirlpool Baths, and
Hot Springs are also Ideal!!!

9~~~Honoring Elders in the Community!!! Be respectful, and listen to
One’s Parents and Elders in the Community, as They have Wisdom of Time
and Experience in many matters, and are able to pass on important bits
of History and Information!!!!

10~~~Teaching others by Example!!! Respect should be earned rather than
given, and the Highest Respect should go to those who Lead By Example,
giving Their Time and Love as Freely and Openly as Possible!!!!

11~~~ Respect for Everything, as Everything is Alive, from the Smallest
Creature to the Farthest Star!!!
