The Native American Indian Way is one of the most powerful that I have ever seen as well, depending on the Shamen or Medicine Man practising it. I attended a ceremony called a sweatlodge once a long time ago, and it turned out to be one of the most powerfully spiritual experiences of my life.
The Shaman that was leading the sweat was very connected to God/The Great Spirit. When we were praying inside the sweatlodge together, and it was his turn to pray, at the exact and precise second that he uttered his first word in prayer the thunder clapped above the sweatlodge! I was in utter shock at that point!
Then when the animal skin that was used as a flap/doorway to the lodge was thrown open, we could all see a double-rainbow from where were sitting! It was so awesome! It was like some part of God was showing us in a physical way that our prayers that we had said were heard! If you ever have the chance to go to a Native American Indian ceremony, I would advise that you go!
