Start by closing your eyes,
Settling into a comfortable position.
Feel your breath steady and natural,
Allowing the words of this prayer to guide you not as rigid pronouncements but as prompts for guiding your mind and heart towards humility,
Personal reflection and gratitude.
Start by imagining a gentle light streaming into your crown chakra at the top of your head.
This light represents a source of universal light,
The vastness,
Your creator,
Our father,
A metaphor for being guided to an ideal guardian.
Open your mind and heart,
Receiving peace and wisdom from this connection.
Let go of any fear,
Worries or past hurts,
Trusting in a source of support beyond yourself right now,
Our father in heaven,
Bringing your awareness into your third eye,
The space between your eyebrows,
Relaxing the eyes,
Visualising this light around you,
Healing your inner world.
What does heaven represent for you?
Is it pure joy,
Boundless potential or simply a state of inner harmony?
Allow this vision to inspire you to create heaven on earth,
In your thoughts,
Words and actions.
Now this light,
It moves down,
Relaxing your face,
Breathing in and then out,
Relaxing your jaw,
Perhaps a yawn,
Extending the relaxation,
Sighing to release,
Awareness into your throat chakra swallowing down,
Hallowed be your name reflecting on the words that you speak,
Trusting that with this prayer,
Your words will come from a space of compassion,
Respect and encouragement.
Do you speak to yourself with the same compassion that you offer to others,
Doing your best to speak without judgement to yourself or others and letting go of control,
Allowing a strong and consistent connection to guide you through your daily actions,
Allowing your words to align with your values,
Making yourself an instrument of positive change.
Now moving this light of peace into your heart space,
Your kingdom come,
Imagine the love and compassion within your heart,
Expanding outward,
Breathing into your heart space and letting go.
What kind of kingdom are you cultivating within yourself and in your interactions with others?
What is your heart being filled with the love of this pure light,
Guiding you to express your uniqueness,
Clearing the mind of any delusion,
Opening your heart to reflect the ideal world you wish to see.
As this light moves down from your heart and transforms down into the fiery solar plexus,
Just below the ribcage,
Your will be done.
Acknowledge your inner fire,
Your will to create and act,
Take responsibility for your choices and understand that your actions have consequences,
Align your will with your higher purpose,
Contributing to a world and leaving it better than when you arrived.
On earth as in heaven,
Bring your awareness to your creative energy,
What are you bringing into the world through your thoughts,
Actions,
Words and even just your presence,
Remembering creation doesn't have to be grand,
Even a smile or a moment of genuine connection is a creative act.
Feeling a connection to your inner smile,
The tongue resting behind the top teeth,
Smiling into the eyes and breathing in and watching this light flow down from your crown into your heart and then down into your sacral chakra just underneath the belly button,
Give us today our daily bread,
Expressing gratitude for the nourishment that you receive,
Not just food but the experiences,
Relationships and opportunities that develop you.
Appreciate the simple joys and acknowledge that your needs are already met,
Forgive us of our sins,
We all make mistakes but instead of dwelling on guilt,
Recognise your humanity and choose forgiveness,
Release negative emotions,
Allowing them to flow down into the earth for transformation,
As we forgive those who sin against us,
Let go of resentment towards others,
Holding on to anger only hurts you,
Offer forgiveness not as a condoning act but as a release for your own wellbeing,
Lead us not into temptation,
Settling now down to your root,
Connection to the area in your lower spine,
Sensing the ground beneath you,
Be present in your body,
Softening and aware of the breath,
The rise and fall of your lower abdomen,
Lead us not into temptation,
Avoiding temptations that lead to fear,
Shame or negativity,
Thankful for your choice to meditate,
A step to walking in the path of your better self,
Better and better every day,
Learning,
Growing,
Seeking to embody your greatest version of self,
What next small step of effort can you make towards that,
Finding your connection to earth,
Aware of the breath,
Sensing without reaction any thoughts or feelings,
Letting go into the ground beneath you,
The safe space that you're in,
But deliver us from evil,
Acknowledge the darkness within and around you,
But know that you are not defined by it,
Release fear and negative attachments to past hurts,
Choosing instead to focus on the light within and around you right now,
The space that you create and all the good that is in the world,
For the kingdom,
The power and the glory are yours now and forever,
Letting go of control to the greatness you get to experience every day,
Agree to living this human experience,
Everything just flowing around you,
You are a gift to yourself,
Come home to your body,
Come home to your body,
Present in this moment,
Our father in heaven,
Hallowed be your name,
Your kingdom come,
Your will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven,
Give us today our daily bread,
Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us,
Lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil,
For the kingdom,
The power and the glory are yours now and forever,
Amen.
This is not an ending but a beginning,
Memorise and reaffirm this prayer daily for a commitment to self-discovery,
Growth and a contribution to an ideal world you can co-create with,
Carry this intention with you throughout your day,
Letting your words and actions reflect your inner light,
When you're ready tuck your chin to your chest,
Find a connection to your lower abdomen,
Your energy centre,
Resting your awareness here,
Settling in to your body,
When you're ready rubbing your palms together,
Creating heat,
Bringing your palms to your eyes,
Awakening,
Breathing in through your palms,
Letting slowly the light into your eyes,
Opening your eyes and ready for the next step into the path of light.
