Hello,
This is Stephanie Hudson.
Welcome to my series of New World Prayers.
In this series we will be focusing on the natural world and the gifts it offers us every day.
Begin by sitting in a comfortable position.
Now gently bring your attention to your breathing and if any thoughts or feelings come to mind,
Just notice them and watch as they float away.
This is your time to relax and fully let go.
In this,
The first of my New World Prayers,
We will honour the old world and its beauty.
We will humble ourselves at its mercy and we will preach gratitude for the gifts it presents us with every day.
Dear Earth,
In your mercy,
Hear our prayer.
Earth,
Teach me stillness as I contemplate your beauty.
Earth,
Teach me to understand and accept suffering as the land suffers then rejuvenates itself.
Earth,
Teach me the humility of each new seed and each new shoot.
Earth,
Teach me to care as the trees and plants care for me.
Earth,
Teach me the value of life that I may continue to grow in your love.
Earth,
Grant me the freedom of the wind and the passion of each blooming rose.
Earth,
Hold me when I am scared and teach me to be patient when you make me well again.
May I give to you as you have done to me and sacrifice for you as you have sacrificed for me.
Earth,
I am thankful for your blessings and I will honour you as I honour myself.
Amen.
And as I come to read the prayer once more,
Let each word sink in and become part of your very belief system.
Let it resonate within you so that you may find peace and acceptance.
