Greetings Great Spirit.

You who is alive in all,

As all is alive in you.

You who is the allness and the isness and the one.

You who has created all that is and all that can be and ever will be.

Thank you for this experience.

I honor you.

I give thanks to you.

Please guide me on this path of remembrance of the true nature of all that is,

The infinite ever-present moment of the eternal now.

Thank you Great Spirit.

To every cell in my body,

Collaborating and singing this song of the universe,

The one song,

The one story.

Thank you for this experience of the self as separate to the whole.

Please continue to guide me in the ways of integration of the self and and thank you so much for your tireless work that enables me to be here from moment to moment.

Thank you to every cell in my body.

To Father Sun,

Thank you for your gifts of light as you plant the seeds of life in the mother every moment of every day.

Thank you for your divine shining,

Your divine witnessing.

You who shines unapologetically,

Unashamedly and in doing so creates the opportunity for life without judging what that life is,

Whether it is deserts or mountains or oceans or jungles.

You simply shine.

Great Father,

Please guide me in the ways of the sacred masculine so that I too may be a planter of seeds and initiator and originator of life.

Thank you Great Father.

Great Mother,

Mother Earth,

Thank you for your seasons,

For your cycles,

Your day and your night.

Thank you for all your infinite creations that are all I will ever know in this life.

Thank you for birthing me,

For holding me,

For supporting me even into the grave and beyond.

Thank you Great Mother for your gifts of divine creative energy and please guide me on this path so that I too may embody feminine creative forces.

Thank you Great Mother.

To my ancestors,

My grandmothers and grandfathers,

Thank you to all who have walked this path before me.

I am here because of you.

I honor you and I humble myself before you knowing that you did the best that you could and that whatever you did has enabled me to be here in this moment.

And I call you in in support of anything that needs healing,

Integration,

Forgiveness or release in our lineage.

I honor you.

I give thanks for your guidance.

Thank you ancestors.

To my guardians,

Guides,

Allies and teachers,

Those who have walked this path before me,

Those who are still here and those who have moved beyond the physical,

Thank you for your gifts of courage,

Of truth speaking,

Of way showing.

Please guide me on this path so that I too may be a way shower,

A guide in service to all as we walk each other home.

Thank you to my guardians,

Guides and allies.

To all my relations,

The running,

Swimming,

Creeping,

Crawling,

Slithering,

Flying ones,

To the east,

To the north,

The west and the south,

The above and the below,

The within and the without,

To the known and the unknown,

The seen and the unseen,

Thank you for this co-created existence.

I honor you and acknowledge that you are an intrinsic part of the whole as am I and that together we are co-creating this moment and all moments forever and ever.

Please continue to dance this dance with me as we again dance our way home.

Thank you to all my relations.

I nourish and nurture inner peace,

Kindness,

Joy,

Love,

Forgiveness,

Playfulness,

Wisdom,

Strength and presence in myself and therefore in others.

Thank you for this life.

Thank you for this day.

Thank you for this moment.

Thank you for now.

Om Shanti Shanti Shanti Peace,

Peace,

Peace.
