Medicine Wheel
The Medicine wheel (or Medicine Shield) can be used for clearing non-beneficial energies, and for protection.
East

Artwork by Diana Atherton-Davis
When drawing a medicine wheel, begin with a dot in the centre which represents the self:
the first circle out from the dot represents
the family; the second circle out represents the community; the thrid circle represents Mother Earth.
Begin drawing the black lines
(which can represent tipi poles) from the east, extending them into the west, then from south to north. Then from blue (Father Sky) to
green (Mother Earth), and finally from purple (The Grandfathers) to peach (The Grandmothers).Touch the east again to close the wheel.
When clearing a property, find the source of the disturbance. First check the history of the land to see if something happened there to
cause the current imbalance. Second, check for burial sites. Third, check the individual's path to see if they personally are the source of the imbalance.
