Traditional people pray in the morning at dawn or four times a day in four directions with táádidÃÃn , corn pollen. First they put some on the top of the head for growth, then second pinch is for the lips or tongue for holy speech and prayers being heard, third pinch is sprinkled in front of the person as a offering for all. Many people carry a deerskin pouch to always have pollen if they need it for going on a trip, if a coyote crosses the path, for crossing water, for leaving the four sacred mountains.

They can be short like a house blessing but many are multiday ceremonies. They are led by a HataaÅ‚ii , .sometimes called a medicine man in English he is more like a priest or a doctor. Ceremonies are done for healing and blessing. There may be prayers, chants, songs, stories, dance, sandpaintings, herbs, incense, and other parts. A medicine man has to study for many years to learn the ritual exactly by heart from an other medicine man. The main idea of a Navajo ceremony is to restore HózhÇ«Ì. This is the central Navajo philosophical concept of beauty and harmony, health, peace, balance, happiness and contentment, wholeness, goodness and dynamic symmetry.
