Morning Prayer Of The Four Elements

A morning prayer from Graced Moments – Prayer Of The Four Elements
Graced Moments – A Soulful Pause is a collection of prayers, reflections and invitations to pause, not rooted in one particular path but honouring wisdom found across traditions.
The collection arises from many streams: ancient wisdom traditions and contemporary teachers, the land on which I live, the natural world, and the people and creatures I encounter in the course of ordinary days. I honour and thank all the teachers, formal and implicit, whose wisdom has helped shape my own understanding and words.
At the heart of Graced Moments is a simple trust: the Sacred is not somewhere else. It can be encountered here — in breath and body, kindness and sorrow, birdsong and weather, around the kitchen table, and in the small, often unnoticed moments of everyday life.
Graced Moments is my offering towards that remembering: the sacred ordinary.

Transcript

Begin with a deep breath. Really feeling into your connection to the living world. Blessed be this morning, Gift of the great mystery. Woven of earth, Air, Fire and water. I stand in the circle of life. A child of the elements. A guest upon this holy ground. Earth beneath me. Steady and sure. Root my spirit in your deep knowing. May I walk today with steadiness and purpose. Honouring the sacredness of all I touch. Air around me, Whispering and wild. Fill my lungs with your living breath. May I speak words of truth and kindness. Carried on the wings of grace. Fire within me, Bright and bold. Kindle my courage and warm my heart. May I burn with compassion. And light a spark of hope wherever I go. Water within and beyond me. Flowing and free. Wash me in your clarity. May I move through this day with ease. Open to change. Open to wonder. Earth, Air, Fire and water. Sacred kin of my being. Guide me, Bless me, Walk beside me.

Thank you so very much Dee! Lovely meditation. Will mark this one to listen to again in the mornings! Take care!

Absolutely beautiful. I say a similar prayer to the elements but I will be incorporating some of these words of wisdom also. Blessed be, Dee

Thank you for sharing this companion track to the evening'whisper prayer' which I discovered first. I am not good at starting the day with such moments as these, but I shall try to keep returning.

Thank you for your kindness in sharing this with the Earth Family. Blessings to you 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Beautiful prayer, powerful words, gently spoken. A lovely start to the day.

Perfect. Added extra thoughts to my elemental prayer. (I think of the sun when I give thanks to fire. Now I add the fire within!)
I will listen frequently. Thank you Dee.
