1st Ring - Tribal Power

Tribal Power represents the foundational force of belonging—our primal connection to the Earth, our ancestors, and one another. It is the energetic Ring that grounds us in the seen world, where we learn how to be human in relationship with all living things.

This is the realm of collective identity, of One Living Web, a shared experience, and physical presence. It holds the memory of the tribe—our family, bloodline, culture, and lineage—and teaches us how to live in alignment with the Earth’s rhythms, to walk in right relation with all that surrounds us.

Sacred Truth: One Living Web

At the heart of Tribal Power lies the sacred truth that we are not separate. Everything you do, think, or feel affects the whole. Every choice ripples across the web of life. This Ring reminds us that we are part of something larger than ourselves—a living ecosystem of Spirit and matter.

The Element: Earth

Earth is the First Mother—the one who birthed all life and who continues to hold us, feed us, and teach us through her rhythm and presence. She is not symbolic; she is alive. The Earth element in the 1st Ring is not just grounding—it is our root to the ancestral line, to community, and to the memory of who we are beyond the noise of modern life.

Earth teaches us how to belong—not through achievement or approval, but through connection. Just as every tree is part of a forest and every rock holds the story of time, we, too, are part of a great web of life. This Ring invites us to remember that we come from somewhere. That our stories are connected. That healing begins when we take our place in the lineage of the living and the ancestral.

When the Earth element is honored, we feel stable, nourished, and supported. We trust the body’s wisdom. We know how to sit with discomfort without running. We root down to rise.

When this Ring is imbalanced, we may feel disconnected, fearful, alone, or like we don’t belong anywhere. We may try to survive through control, or cling to systems and people that no longer honor us. Earth medicine invites us to slow down, to listen to the land, to walk barefoot, to pray with the stones, and to remember that we are not separate from the Earth—we are made of her.

The Development: See with Reverence

To truly embody this truth, we must learn to honor the physical world—our bodies, homes, communities, and the Earth itself. This includes ancestral practices, seasonal living, food as medicine, and remembering the sacredness of daily life.

When we walk with reverence, we honor the ancestors who walked before us and the generations yet to come.

The Lessons: Walking The Earth

This Ring teaches us to honor the Earth—the mountains, the rivers, the animals, the people, the body we live in. It invites us to recognize that everything has a Spirit, and that our role is not to dominate, but to walk in right relationship with all of life. In this way, healing begins with remembering: remembering that you are part of the sacred hoop of existence, and that your presence matters.

The Voice: I Stand Sacred

When this voice is honored, we move through life with a rooted sense of worth. We know where we come from, we understand the sacredness of our place in the web of life, and we no longer seek validation through external means. We walk with the quiet confidence that we are not just connected—we are needed.

But when this voice is silenced—through trauma, displacement, systemic oppression, or emotional neglect—we begin to feel like we do not belong anywhere. We may feel disconnected, invisible, or unsafe in our skin. We may chase worth through overachievement, or collapse into patterns of survival and self-abandonment.

The healing begins with remembering.
When you reclaim the voice that says, “I Stand Sacred,” you awaken the ancient truth that your existence is holy. This is not just personal healing—it is a restoration of the sacred thread within the ancestral web.

To stand sacred is to remember that you belong. You are not separate from the Earth, from your people, or the Divine.
You are standing once more in the circle of life—as a child of Creation, held in reverence, and whole.

The Wound: Fear

The shadow of this Ring is fear—especially the fear of abandonment, exclusion, or disconnection from the tribe. This fear can manifest as people-pleasing, codependency, or disowning your truth for the sake of belonging.

Healing this wound invites you to find safety within, to root your worth not in external approval but in the sacred knowing that you are already part of the whole.

2nd Ring - The Power of Relating

Sacred Truth: Sacred Connection

This ring teaches that every being is sacred, and every relationship is a spiritual exchange. To honor one another is to see the divine in each person—even when there is conflict or difference. This truth calls us to show up in relationship with reverence, presence, and deep listening. It invites us to drop the need to fix, change, or control and instead to meet others exactly where they are—with compassion and grace. Honoring one another is not about perfection; it’s about showing up with integrity.

The Element: Water

Water is the element of flow, emotion, intuition, and adaptability. Just like water, this ring asks us to move with life’s emotional currents—learning when to soften, when to cleanse, when to rise like a wave.

Water teaches us that emotions are sacred messengers, not to be feared or suppressed, but felt and honored. This element also reminds us of the deep healing available through surrender, touch, movement, and creativity.

The Development: Emotional Awakening

This ring governs the development of emotional awareness—learning to feel, name, and navigate the full spectrum of human experience. Emotional growth is not about control, but about trust: trusting the body’s signals, honoring emotional cycles, and allowing your inner waters to move and clear. This is the foundation for emotional intelligence, empathy, and self-regulation.

The Lessons: Sacred Relating 

Relationship is the mirror through which we come to know ourselves. This ring teaches the sacred art of relating—how to stay connected without losing yourself, how to be vulnerable and strong, how to give and receive. In conscious relating, we learn boundaries, consent, presence, and trust. Relationships become a place of healing, reflection, and evolution—not a place to hide or fix, but to grow in love and truth.

The Voice: I Speak From The Heart

I speak from the heart—the original drum of my being. This voice rises not only through words, but through breath, sensation, tears, laughter, tremors, and silence. It is how Spirit speaks through the body. In many Indigenous traditions, the heart is seen as the bridge between Earth and Sky—the place where feeling becomes knowing.

When this voice is honored, we are emotionally alive, rooted in our truth, and connected to the sacred web of relations.
When silenced, we may numb, overthink, or abandon the wisdom flowing through our emotional body.

To speak from the heart is to walk in integrity with your feelings. It is to return to the ceremony within—where every emotion is a messenger, and every truth spoken with care becomes medicine.

This is the voice of connection, of kinship, of remembering who you are beneath all the noise.

The Wound: Guilt 

Emotion is sacred—an expression of life force and Spirit moving through the body. But when we are told our feelings are too much, too messy, or too inconvenient, we begin to carry guilt.

Guilt arises when we are made to believe that our needs, desires, or natural emotional responses are a burden. This wound often begins early, interrupting the flow of relational reciprocity. We learn to silence our hearts, to give more than we have, or to hold back our truth in fear of dishonoring others.

But the Earth does not ask you to shrink.
She asks you to feel—fully and honestly.

Healing this wound is a return to balance: reclaiming your right to feel, to desire, to express without apology. It is a ceremonial unburdening—offering back the emotional weight that was never yours to carry. Through self-forgiveness and sacred witnessing, you remember that your emotions are not shameful; they are prayers, rising like water toward the sky.

3rd Ring of Power - Spirit in Action

Sacred Truth - Honor Your Fire

In many indigenous traditions, honoring oneself is not an act of separation—it is a remembering that you carry sacred Fire within. You are not apart from Creation; you are a vital expression of it. To honor yourself is to walk in balance—with your words, your body, your energy, your Spirit. It is to take responsibility for the medicine you carry and the impact you make with your presence. When we live in self-honor, we respect our boundaries, acknowledge our gifts, and live in reciprocity with the seen and unseen worlds.

Element: Fire

Fire is the Spirit of transformation, illumination, and right action. In the teachings of many native paths, Fire is both a destroyer and a giver of life. It burns away the lies we’ve inherited—about our worth, our power, our potential—and returns us to the truth of who we are. Fire teaches discernment, will, and discipline, but also warmth, laughter, and ceremony.

It asks us: How will you use your Fire? Will you let it consume you—or will you feed it with purpose and prayer?

Development: Sovereignty

Sovereignty is the path of the initiated. It is the knowing that no one else can walk your path for you—but that you are never walking alone. Your ancestors walk beside you. The land speaks to you. The animals guide you. Sovereignty means living in harmony with your center, while being in deep relational accountability to your community and the Earth.

You stop asking for permission and begin offering your gifts in service of the greater whole.

Lesson: Release Control

Resistance is a refusal to enter the next doorway of growth. When we resist, we block the movement of life force. We fear the heat of change. But the lesson here is one of surrender—not in weakness, but in wisdom. Let go of the fight against your power.

Let Fire do its sacred work. When you release control, you become available for true transformation.

Voice: I Carry Power

When we awaken this ring, we begin to hear the voice of our soul speak clearly: I can. I will. I am ready. This voice is not born of ego, but of Spirit. It comes from knowing your medicine and choosing to walk with it, even when it feels uncomfortable.

In tribal life, the moment you begin to carry your Fire is when you step into adulthood—not by age, but by action. This is the voice of sacred responsibility.

Wound: Shame

Shame is a colonial wound—a silencing of the inner Fire. It often arises from generations of suppression, broken trust, or being told you are too much, not enough, or wrong for simply being who you are. Shame disconnects us from our roots, our voice, and our ancestors. But it is not your truth.

Indigenous wisdom reminds us that when we speak shame aloud in a safe circle, it begins to loosen. Through prayer, ritual, and witnessing, we return to the Fire of self-forgiveness and remembrance.

4th Ring - Heart Medicine

Sacred Truth - Love as Ceremony

Love is not an emotion—it is a sacred force, an ancestral current that weaves all of life into one. It is the power that holds the stars in the sky, carries the rivers home, and breathes Spirit into every ceremony.

Love is not something we possess—it is something we live, something we offer. It is reciprocal, alive, and deeply rooted in the web of relations.

This truth teaches us that our greatest strength doesn’t come from control or protection, but from living with an open heart. To feel deeply, to offer love freely, to let ourselves be seen—this is not weakness. This is wisdom. This is medicine.

Element: Air

Air is the element of breath, Spirit, and the unseen. It moves through the lungs, the heart, and the words we speak. It is prayer carried on the wind, the sigh that releases emotion, and the inhale that connects us to life itself. In indigenous teachings, Air is honored as the messenger between realms.

The 4th Ring invites us to open our hearts to this sacred wind—to let it carry away grief and invite in grace. When we listen with our hearts, we hear more than words; we hear the soul of the world.

Development: The Beauty Way

The Beauty Way is the path of the open heart—where grace is not a performance, but a quiet strength rooted in empathy, forgiveness, and surrender. It is the sacred art of living in balance with all relations, choosing kindness without self-abandonment, and loving without condition.

As this Ring develops, we begin to loosen our grip on control. We stop grasping and start allowing. We soften into the natural flow of life, letting our heart lead without fear.

Grace becomes the medicine that moves through us—healing what words cannot, and restoring harmony where pain once lived.

Lesson: Self as Sacred

The lesson of the heart is not just to love others—it is to love oneself first, as a living embodiment of Spirit. Indigenous ways teach that love begins within, for how can we offer sacred connection to others if we are not rooted in our own soul’s worth? Self-love is not indulgence—it is a return to balance.

It’s the reclamation of our emotional truth, our beauty, our tenderness. This Ring teaches us that loving ourselves is not selfish—it is ceremony and we are sacred.

This Ring remembers the truth that you carry grace simply by being. Not because of your service, your strength, or your survival—but because you are a sacred expression of life itself. In Indigenous ways, this kind of grace is not earned—it is inherited. It flows through the heart, the breath, the stillness between words.

This voice speaks gently—through forgiveness, presence, and compassion. It is the quiet drumbeat of worthiness that does not need to be proven. It is your birthright.

When this voice is forgotten, we fall into cycles of self-rejection, judgment, or the burden of needing to earn love. To reclaim it is to return to the heart as home, and to walk in beauty once again—with your grace intact.

Wound: Grief

Grief is the sacred ache of love interrupted. It lives in the chest like a stone, passed down from generations, cultures, and untold stories. In many indigenous lineages, grief is honored through song, weeping, and ritual. It is not hidden—it is expressed, moved, witnessed.

This Ring reminds us that unprocessed grief blocks the flow of love. But when we allow it to rise and be held with compassion, grief transforms. It becomes an offering. It becomes prayer. And through it, our heart reopens to life.

5th Ring of Power - The Power of Sound

Sacred Truth: Sound as Prayer

To speak is to pray.  Sound is not noise—it is Spirit in motion, a vibration that echoes through the seen and unseen worlds. Words are not thrown to the wind—they are offerings, ceremonies in themselves, woven with intention, truth, and power.

This Ring reminds us that every word carries medicine—or carries harm. To speak from the heart is to walk in integrity. To use your voice with reverence is to honor the sacredness of all life.

When we embody this truth, we become trustworthy—to our ancestors, to our communities, and to ourselves.

Truth is not just about facts. It is about frequency.
Does what I speak resonate with who I truly am?

Element: Sound / Vibration

Sound is one of the oldest healing tools in indigenous medicine. The drumbeat, the rattle, the breath, the sacred chant—each vibrates through the body, rearranging energy, calling back lost parts, and breaking through illusion.

The 5th Ring is where we reclaim our original sound—the voice we had before we were shaped by silence or shame. Sound is vibration, and vibration is life. This Ring invites us to become instruments of clarity, to remember that we are not just echoing others—we carry a unique frequency that longs to be heard.

Development: Your Original Sound

Every being carries a unique sound. In traditional teachings, your sound is part of your medicine. Birds sing their truth, rivers speak their language, and so do we.

As this Ring develops, you learn to listen to your authentic voice—not the one shaped by survival, but the one rooted in soul. You discover how to speak from a place of clarity and compassion. You no longer hide behind polite silence or overspeak from fear. Your sound becomes medicine—for you, and for those who are ready to receive it.

Lesson:  Creativity

Creativity is not limited to art—it is the energy of expression, the act of bringing the unseen into form. In this Ring, creativity is a sacred force. It is how you dance with Spirit, how you give shape to what lives inside you. Whether through song, story, movement, or silence, the invitation is to create without apology or perfection.

This Ring teaches that when we speak or create from the soul, we shift not only ourselves, but the collective field around us.

Voice: My Sound is Medicine

The voice is more than sound—it is ceremony. It is the sacred bridge between the unseen and the seen, where Spirit becomes vibration and truth takes form. In the 5th Ring, we remember that our voice carries power, not to control—but to heal, to reveal, to connect.

When this voice is honored, it becomes a channel for wisdom, story, and song. You speak not to impress, but to offer medicine—the kind that touches hearts and wakes sleeping truths.

When silenced, this medicine turns inward. Truth is swallowed. Energy stagnates. The soul forgets it has something to say.

To speak is to come out of hiding, to reclaim your voice as sacred, and to remember: “My voice is medicine.”

Wound: The Unspoken Story 

The wound of this ring lies not only in the lies spoken, but in the sacred truths that were silenced. —whether told to us, about us, or by us. These may be cultural lies, ancestral silences, or the inner narrative that says, “I can’t say that,” or “My voice doesn’t matter.” In many lineages, words that dishonor truth are seen as distortions of Spirit.

Healing this wound requires listening deeply—beneath the noise, beneath the conditioning—to the truth that wants to be born through you. Indigenous medicine teaches us that to break the silence is to break the spell.

6th Ring of Power - Spirit Vision

Sacred Truth: Witness the Mystery

In Indigenous teachings, the unseen world is not imagined—it is just as real and alive as the physical. To honor it is to recognize that Spirit walks beside us, that ancestors whisper in the wind, and that dreams carry medicine.

This ring asks us to expand our sight beyond what is visible, beyond the rational mind, and into the realm of the soul. It invites us to witness the mystery—to sense what lies beneath the surface and to trust what cannot be proven but is deeply known.

Element: Light

Light is the essence of awareness—the ability to perceive clearly and walk without confusion. In this ring, light is not just illumination; it is revelation. It brings the shadow to the surface so it can be seen with compassion. In many native traditions, light is associated with the inner sun—the fire behind the eyes, the clarity of knowing, the sacred light within all beings.

When we align with this element, we do not fear the dark. We let the light reveal truth, without needing to control what we find.

Development: Eyes of Spirit

As this ring develops, you begin to recognize that not everything is literal. Symbols speak, dreams guide, and nature offers omens. You learn to read energy, to follow the subtle threads of Spirit, and to trust your inner compass.

Symbolic sight is not just intuitive—it is relational. It grows when you are in reverent dialogue with the world around you. This development is about quieting the mind so the soul can speak.

Lesson: Wisdom

Wisdom is the fruit of vision made real. It’s not about knowing more—it’s about seeing clearly. This ring teaches that wisdom is earned through experience, integration, and trust in the unseen. Indigenous elders often say, “You do not choose to be wise. Life gives you that gift when you listen long enough.”

The sixth ring invites you to step into this deeper listening—to walk with vision, humility, and inner light as your guides.

Voice: I See Beyond

This is the voice of the seer, the visionary, the dreamer. It is the inner knowing that speaks in images, symbols, and silent understandings. It is not about prediction—it is about perception.

When this ring is awake, we discern the energy behind words. We read between the lines. We recognize patterns, cycles, and synchronicities as messages. We trust our gut, our dreams, our inner voice. When this voice is ignored, we rely solely on logic and lose our connection to the soul’s compass.

Wound: Veil of Illusion

The wound of this ring arises when our ability to see clearly—both inwardly and outwardly—is obscured. This veil of illusion clouds perception and separates us from our intuitive knowing. It may come from cultural distortions, generational trauma, or personal disconnection from the unseen world. 

When we lose our relationship with mystery, with symbol, with the Dreamtime—we begin to mistake appearance for truth.

When this wound is active, we may rely too heavily on the rational mind, ignoring the subtle voices of Spirit. We may dismiss dreams, gut feelings, or synchronicities as coincidence. We may even mistrust our visions. 

Healing this wound invites us to remember our Eyes of Knowing—the inner sight that sees through illusion and into the essence of things. This is not the kind of vision that analyzes or controls, but the kind that perceives deeply—through the heart, the body, and the quiet wisdom of the soul.

As this ring reawakens, we begin to walk again in the old way: with humility, with reverence, and with an openness to be shown what cannot be taught. We learn to trust our vision in truth, to see beyond the surface and into the sacred patterns that speak through all of life.

7th Ring of Power - Spiritual Power 

Sacred Truth: Honor Creation

 Creation is not outside of us—it moves through us, around us, and within all things. To honor Creation is to walk in right relationship with life itself. This truth reminds us that we are part of a sacred design, each being a thread in the great weaving of Spirit.

The 7th Ring is the point where we remember our divine origin—not as a concept, but as a felt reality. To honor  Creation is to honor your own life as sacred, your Presence as a blessing, and your path as a ceremony.

Element:  Spirit of Thought

In this Ring, thought is not reduced to mental chatter—it is seen as a subtle force that creates form. “What you think, you become.” Thought is vibration. It can bless, it can curse, it can open portals or close them.

At the 7th Ring, your thoughts are sacred tools, and the mind becomes a vessel for Spirit rather than a cage of limitation. You begin to see that the highest thought is often stillness—the space where Creation speaks with a whisper.

Development: Awakened Presence

Awakwened Presence is the altar of the Creation. It is the only place where life is real, where guidance is clear, and where the sacred reveals itself. Developing this Ring means releasing regret of the past and fear of the future. It means learning to see your breath as a prayer and your awareness as a gift.

Presence is a spiritual practice—and through it, you come to know yourself as a channel for divine will, not separate from Spirit but in union with it.

Lesson: Spirit-Led Path

The lesson of this Ring is surrender—to something greater than the self, yet intimately woven into it. Guidance is not always loud or logical. It speaks through intuition, signs, synchronicities, and stillness. Indigenous ways remind us to ask for guidance, to listen, and to give thanks.

When we open to receive, we no longer carry the weight of life alone. We move in harmony with Creation, letting Spirit shape our path, one sacred step at a time.

Voice: I Remember

This is not the knowledge of books or intellect—it is the deep soul-knowing that lives in the bones and travels through ancestral memory.

When this voice is open, you are connected to a higher intelligence—not separate from you, but moving through you like sacred breath. You know when to act, when to be still, when to listen. You trust the unseen and honor the signs. You recognize divine timing as the old ones did—by feeling, not by force.

When this voice is clouded, doubt and confusion arise. Noise, dogma, a colonized mind, or self-abandonment may drown the voice.

Reclaiming it means remembering: You are not lost. You are guided. You are never alone—your people walk with you.

Wound: Depression

When we become disconnected from Creation, from the present moment, or a sense of meaning, depression can take root. In many indigenous traditions, this state is not seen merely as a mental condition, but as a soul signal—a deep call to return to purpose, to community, and to the sacred rituals that realign us with life.

Depression may arise when the Spirit feels displaced, silenced, or forgotten. Its Presence, though heavy, is a messenger—a quiet drumbeat urging us back to connection: to the land beneath our feet, to the breath that anchors us, to the ceremonial spaces that remember who we are.

The 7th Ring invites the light back in—not to bypass pain, but to sit with it as we would a sacred fire, a messenger, tending it with breath, prayer, and reverence. In that stillness, we begin to see the grief as holy, the ache as ancestral, and the longing as a pathway home.

We are never truly lost. The Earth holds us. The ancestors hum their medicine through the wind. And Spirit, ever patient, waits for us to return to what was never lost—our sacred light, our belonging, and our place within the Great Mystery.

8th Ring of Power - Ancestral Calling

Sacred Truth: Wisdom Keeper

To walk as a Wisdom Keeper is to remember that you are the vessel through which ancient knowing lives on. This is not about possessing knowledge, but becoming the living bridge between past, present, and future. The teachings you carry are not yours alone—they are the songs of your ancestors, the prayers of the earth, and the promises you made before birth.

In this sacred role, you are called not to lead by power, but by presence. To serve not self, but Spirit. To speak when Spirit speaks, to act when the earth calls, and to live in devotion to what is greater than you.

Element: The Ethers

The Ethers are the great mystery—the unseen space that holds all potential, the breath between thoughts, the field where Spirit dreams creation into being. In indigenous cosmologies, this is the realm of vision, prophecy, and the ancestors. It is not bound by time or form.

The 8th Ring is where you begin to move not only in alignment with the Earth, but in harmony with the cosmos. When the etheric body is clear, you become a bridge between worlds—able to receive guidance, embody soul gifts, and walk your destiny path with grace.

Development: Your Gifts

Your gifts are not random—they are encoded in your being. They are remembered through ceremony, struggle, joy, and awakening. In the 8th Ring, you begin to live from your essence, not your role. You no longer wonder if you are enough—you understand that your being is the gift.

These gifts may manifest as healing, leadership, storytelling, vision, or presence itself. As you develop this Ring, your medicine becomes a living expression of the soul’s truth, offered in service to the collective.

Lesson: You Are A Living Gift

Your gift is not something you must earn or search for—it is already within you, placed there by Spirit and shaped by your walk through life. It breathes through your wounds, your wisdom, your remembering.

To walk in service is to allow this gift to live through you—not as performance, but as offering. It becomes medicine when it is shared, and power when it is surrendered to something greater than self. In honoring your living gift, you step fully into your place in the sacred web.

Voice: I Walk in Service

This is the voice of sacred offering—not from obligation, but from overflow. It says, “I know who I am. I know why I came. I serve the Whole.” When awakened, this voice becomes the channel through which your life becomes a blessing to others.

It speaks through how you show up, how you lead, how you love. Service is no longer a burden—it becomes your joy. When blocked, this voice is silenced by self-doubt, martyrdom, or karmic repetition. When reclaimed, it becomes the prayer you live each day.

Wound: Karma

Karma, in this context, is the soul’s memory—agreements, imprints, and unresolved energies that shape your life path. Indigenous and ancestral teachings often view karma as both a wound and an opportunity: what you carry can also become what you offer.

When we ignore our karmic threads, we remain entangled in patterns. But when we meet them with awareness, we become weavers of destiny. The 8th Ring invites you to look at what your soul came to heal—not with shame, but with devotion.
