Zen Prayers For Today & Now

I wanted to share another set of short prayers by Tai Sheridan. Zen Prayers addresses what is unsettled within and cultivates integrity and virtue.

This set is specifically around the power of today and now, the power of presence, so very important when we get lost in the noise of the past and the future. It's only a short 2 minutes, but it carries gravity and power.

Transcript

A prayer for now. I open myself to being alert in the present moment and to being completely alive and responsive to whatever happens. I am ready to stop avoiding my experiences and internal states of thought, Emotion, Sensation and intuition as they occur. I am ready to slow down so that I can be centered within myself and live close to the bone. I am ready to give up acting as if past memory and future wishes are a satisfying substitute for right now. I open myself to being alert in the present moment and to being completely alive and responsive to whatever happens. A prayer for today. I open myself to today as the whole of my life for it includes all my experience, My living, Dying. I am ready to dive into today's moments with vitality, Clarity and goodwill and to use myself up without hesitation. I am ready to stop living in yesterday and tomorrow for it is within today that the world blossoms. I am ready to embrace everything that presents itself for these are my blessings. I open myself to today as the whole of my life for it includes all my experience, My living, Dying.
