Ancient and indigenous cultures acknowledged, honored and prayed to gods, goddesses and guardian spirits. Living with the Inuit/Eskimo people in arctic Alaska and the Hopi, Apache and Navajo in Northern Arizona, I joined their prayers and observed astonishing results. Since then I’ve had a kinship with thunder beings, tree spirits and garden divas. 

Many people in our western culture have a personal relationship with Christ while the Chinese and Afro-Americans honor their ancestors. Native Americans pay tribute to all their relations. Other people spend life running around with small flashes of awareness when the power source of a Niagara Falls awaits recognition.

‘Prayer’ is a way of connecting, plugging into an electric socket, a power source. To me, Shinan Barclay, prayer is a conscious attunement that produces a clear frequency which enables resonance, vitality and co-creation. Rainmakers’ prayers were once the jurisdiction of shamans. Now that consciousness is available to all.
