Prayers<\/h3>\n

Any prayer or meditation needs to be harmonious with your soul and heart. Feel free to use these words as they are, or as a possible template to create your own. If you prefer a more traditional form of prayer, you\u2019ll find examples in all hymnals. I also encourage you to simply relax, merge into Divine Love, and let the words flow forth silently or aloud.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prayer of Intention and Release<\/strong>
\n\u201cDivine Oneness, God in all, may we learn to release and surrender to whatever this moment brings. May we balance this letting go with empowered action for the highest good of all beings. May we live in love, peace and thankfulness. Doing this, may we be happy and fulfilled. Thank you, thank you. Amen.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

 <\/p>\n

“Amen<\/em> means \u201cAnd so it is!\u201d This might be prayer to do in the morning, or any time of day to reset your intention and priorities.<\/p>\n

Prayer for someone in need<\/strong>
\nPrayer for someone who is sick, in deep grief, seeking balance, needing emotional help, who or is in need of healing support. You don\u2019t need permission from the recipient to pray for someone. They will receive as their Higher Self directs. The blank below is for the person\u2019s name. This can also be done for a group of people, such as \u201call people who have Covid-19.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prayer for Someone in Need<\/strong>
\n\u201cGod, Divine Essence, I ask help for _______________ that he\/she receive all that is needed on any and every level of his\/her being. I send forth the vision of Light filling him\/her and ask that this be amplified by the angels and Divine Healers in whatever way is for his\/her highest good and the highest good of all concerned. release Thank you. Thank you.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Meditations<\/h3>\n

My Favorite Mantras<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

So Hum<\/strong> <\/span>– means I AM That<\/strong>, which to me means I AM one with all that is, including the interconnection that makes us all part of the One Essence (God, Spirit, the Void, Oneness)<\/p>\n

Namu Ami Tah Bul<\/span> \u2013 <\/strong>means I take refuge in the Infinite Light of my true nature<\/strong>. (learned from Won Buddhism)<\/p>\n

Om Arum Namah<\/span> \u2013 I bow to the worthiest energy of which I AM. <\/strong>This is a Jain meditation for the crown-chakra. It is designed to open the center with greatest access to our spirituality and the Divine.<\/p>\n

Be Still and Know that I AM God<\/span> \u2013 <\/strong>Psalm 46:10. I take this as a whole, feeling myself merge into God as I silently say the last phrase. Sometimes I just take one word a day (or perhaps one a week) and feel its meaning deepen in me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Lord\u2019s Prayer<\/span>– <\/strong>translated from Aramaic, the language Jesus (Jeshua) spoke. This version is from ‘Prayers of the Cosmos<\/a>\u2019 written and translated by Neil Douglas-Klotz<\/p>\n

O Birther of the Cosmos
\n<\/span><\/strong>Focus your light within us — make it useful <\/span>
\nCreate your reign of unity now <\/span>
\nYour one desire then acts with ours, <\/span>
\nAs in all light, <\/span>
\nSo in all forms, <\/span>
\nGrant us what we need each day in bread and insight: <\/span>
\nLoose the cords of mistakes binding us, <\/span>
\nAs we release the strands we hold of other’s guilt. <\/span>
\nDon’t let surface things delude us, <\/span>
\nBut free us from what holds us back. <\/span>
\nFrom you is born all ruling will, <\/span>
\nThe power and the life to do, <\/span>
\nThe song that beautifies all, <\/span>
\nFrom age to age it renews. <\/span>
\nI affirm this with my whole being.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Loving Kindness Meditation<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Meta<\/h4>\n

A Buddhist prayer\/meditation called Meta. Traditionally do each part three times.<\/p>\n

(This is my version as it evolved.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

May I be filled with Loving Kindness,
\nMay I be at Peace,
\nMay I be radiantly healthy,
\nMay I be safe,
\nMay I be happy; may I know and remember the source of true happiness.<\/p>\n

For someone you hold dear:
\nMay you be filled with Loving Kindness,
\nMay you be at Peace,
\nMay you be radiantly healthy,
\nMay you be safe
\nMay you be happy; may you know and remember the source of true happiness.<\/p>\n

For a neutral person (cashier, tech support \u2013 someone in your recent life)
\nMay you be filled with Loving Kindness,
\nMay you be at Peace,
\nMay you be radiantly healthy,
\nMay you be safe,
\nMay you be happy; may you know and remember the source of true happiness.<\/p>\n

For someone you really don\u2019t like, someone who really irks you
\nMay you be filled with Loving Kindness,
\nMay you be at Peace,
\nMay you be radiantly healthy,
\nMay you be safe,
\nMay you be happy; may you know and remember the source of true happiness.<\/p>\n

For yourself
\nMay I be filled with Loving Kindness,
\nMay I be at Peace,
\nMay I be radiantly healthy,
\nMay I be safe,
\nMay I be happy; may I know and remember the source of true happiness.<\/p>\n

I conclude by sitting silently for awhile just breathing in love and breathing out love, feeling filled with and surrounded by love.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
*I highly recommend the book The Gift of Loving-Kindness: 100 Meditations on Compassion, Generosity, and Forgiveness<\/span> by Mary Brantley and Tesilya Hanauer<\/div>\n
