Pachamama, near and dear.
I feel you here, now.
​Respectfully, I stand in the place of my ancestors and elders. I am your daughter–descendant of the Earth and Sky. 
The people of the Andes Mountains are my brothers and my sisters. Like they have done for many centuries, I invoke your fertile wisdom. 
As the hurricane swells and the rainforests burn, please forgive my destructive tendencies. 
May your image nourish my heart fire–my deepest desire to give. 
As Mother of the Sun and Moon, please show me where to share my creative energy and what to let go. 
Let it be so. 

You can use this prayer to remember the Creative Source as she pervades all of Nature, including you. 
Remember the seeds you planted at the beginning of the year. 

• How does your garden grow, now?​
• Are you living in the light of your highest intentions? 
• Do the deepest desires of your visionary heart align with your daily actions? 

Honor the teachers and guides who have brought you to this point. 
Revisit the shadow spaces within you.
Illuminate the truth. 

• Are there weeds that need your attention?
• What are those weeds? List them. 

Examine those habits, activities, and relationships that would usurp your creative resources. 
Tend your blossoms with care. 

Take note of how far you have traveled.
Remember where you are going. Activate it in writing: 

• Where are you going? 
• How will you know when you are there? 
• What will it look like? 
• What will it feel like? 

Honor the wisdom that speaks through your heart. 
Honor the guidance of your emotions. 
Honor your unique gifts. List them. 

As the sun shines without discrimination or shame,
do not dim your light for anyone or anything.
