 Holy Smoke~White Bison Meditation
"I know Grandpa told me that to smoke is wakan (holy).
The smoke you inhale represents the spirits of everything
you put into the pipe.
When you breathe in the smoke, you are asking to become one with everything or to become whole.
"
--Dr. A.C.
Ross (Enhanamani), LAKOTA
The smoke allows us to go from the Seen World to the Spirit World.
It is in the Spirit World where we are all connected.
In this way, we can become one with all things.
Our pipe is sacred.
We need to be respectful of our medicine.
When we smoke the pipe, we need to have good thoughts
because these thoughts are shared with the Spirit World
The pipe, the smoke, the spirits,
our thoughts-these things are Wakan.
