A healing journey on Bear Mountain (Arizona adventures, Part Two)

It was the first time I've ever conducted a healing ceremony with the Spirits of Place of Sedona, and I was both excited and a little nervous. Would they respond to my songs? How would I adapt to the extreme energy work after hiking for ~2 hours to reach the summit? Would I be interrupted by other hikers?
Because of my work with Bear Spirits, I decided to work on top of Bear Mountain, in Red Rock State Park. I packed my small egg-shaped rattle, my smaller Mahakala phurba, my bone Runes, and lots of offerings.

I freaked.
I'd not worked with Rattlesnake, and hadn't even Journeyed to introduce myself to her properly yet. I was afraid that she wouldn't come, or work with me for healing and transmutation.
I continued singing the songs, and I noticed that during the Ancestors song, my arm hair stood on end and I feel extreme cold. I looked around, and saw not only my own ancestors (and those of my client), but I saw the Ancestors of the indigenous peoples of Arizona. We looked at each other, and I introduced myself. "A druid? Huh...we're not going to participate in your ritual, but will watch you and see what you are doing." I thanked them, and felt my nervousness rise even more (eek! Witnesses!).
After the songs, the appointment went in a somewhat usual fashion, and my cell phone recorded everything very well.
