“But one must pray in the heart during a holy ceremony; this is the purpose of the ceremony, to purify the participants both inside and out.”.
Thomas Yellowtail, CUERVO
How do you know if you are praying with your heart or with your head? Pray from your head and you will feel nothing; pray from your heart and you will feel feelings. You may feel sadness, you may feel joy, you may want to cry, depending on what you're praying for. During the ceremony the clean up will take place. The Medicine Wheel teaches the four directions of inner power: emotional, mental, physical and spiritual. Prayer controls the emotional, mental and physical. When we ask for purification of our feelings, our mental mind, and our physical body, spiritual direction makes cleansing happen.
Great Spirit, Create in me a clean heart.
