about

“Ceremony” is a prayer of sorts, to connect with our ancestors and loved ones who may have passed on. We can ask for their help in both our own and their healing so that we can be strong and capable for our families and friends. It is about finding our strength through our vulnerability and was mostly written during one of my first of shamanic plant medicine based Ceremony experiences. During this journey I felt my grandmother come to me. She communicated in a language beyond words in the realm of feelings. She started by assuring me that no matter what I was dealing with there was an unconditional Love holding all of us and that we were always safe. She then went on to explain the dynamics of our family lessons, evolving like a scroll that gets unfolded over time. As we heal here in this plane, our ancestors heal where they are and the cycle of our growth ascends over time..

lyrics

Ceremony
Lyrics and Music by John Zay


Knowing
Feeling
Sensing you’re not alone

Loving
Being
Finding your way back home

There’s no one around nowhere else to go
She helps you remember what you already know

Touching
Seeing
Letting yourself feel the pain

Talking
Healing
Trusting inside that you’re ok

Hands to the ground feet on the clay
There’s nothing that she can’t take away

And I’m the wind that howls
Through you at night
And I’m the moon that holds you
Up to the light
