Take a long, slow, deep breath. Find that quiet place inside yourself. Go into your place of inner
vision. Imagine yourself as an ancient Shaman sitting on the top of a tall, sacred cliff at sunset.

You face the west and feel the last warm rays of the sun as it sinks below the horizon. You honor
the west as the place of sacred dreams and inner vision, balance and self-healing.
You have come to this sacred cliff to seek totem's for your inner wisdom. These totem's may never have
form on your Earth Walk planes. These totem's may come to you only in your place of inner
vision. They will be totem's of great power, And will bring you gifts of self, gifts of nature,
and gifts of spirit.

These totem's may be your special secret Medicine, kept sacred in your heart. These totem's may
reflect your higher self in balance. These totem's may form your inner Medicine Circle, your circle of
self-healing, your Sanctuary of source.

The evening sun sets behind the horizon, leaving a veil of twilight in its place. In this quiet
time between the world of day and the world of night, you call your sacred medicine circle together.
This circle represents your inner powers-known only to yourself, shared with no one.
You make your own medicine.
