Prayer is the one way for all people of all religious and spiritual faiths to access divine wisdom.
Prayer is a form of communication with our highest self,
In unity with divine aspects of life that exist all around us,
In nature,
In beauty,
And in love.
Join me in this meditation on prayer.
Join in a comfortable posture where you can find stillness with your eyes closed,
Allowing yourself to settle into this moment,
To each moment,
Bringing your attention inward,
Perhaps focusing on your heart chakra,
The area of your heart in your chest.
And simply being aware of the gentle movement here as you breathe.
Take your time,
Allow yourself to follow your breath.
As you breathe,
Direct your breath into your heart center.
Feel the energy that is here in your heart region.
Take some time now to simply be with your breathing.
Be with the energy that you feel in your heart.
As you hold your awareness in your heart center and onto your breath,
Be aware of the sensations you feel.
Be aware of the beauty and the love that is present within you.
Anytime that you are ready,
You may begin your prayer,
Your conversation with the divine.
Let your heart be opened by prayer.
Let your heart be opened by prayer.
Let your heart be opened by prayer.
Let your heart be opened by prayer.
Let your heart be opened by prayer.
Let prayer be your message to the divine.
And let yourself open to the privilege of prayer in your life as a form of great mystery,
Of great blessing,
Of great love.
Some notes on prayer that perhaps can add to your experience.
We often think of prayer as a way of asking the divine,
God,
Allah,
For something that we want,
We desire,
We need.
But in this way of prayer,
Perhaps you consider simply a conversation,
A communication,
An opening,
An exchange from your heart center and the energy that you feel in your heart as it is open and receiving with the God source,
The divine,
Simply to be in the presence of this beautiful energy.
As you make time in your life for a few moments of prayer,
You can play with the different ways in which you communicate with your heart center and the ways in which you receive divine inspiration,
Blessings,
Wisdom.
Thank you for listening.
