Welcome to this prayer you can use any time to reconnect into the present moment,
Into the divine.
This is non-denominational,
Wherever you're coming from if you feel a resonance with this,
This is for you and thank you for joining.
Finding yourself a comfortable seated position with your eyes open,
Just starting to notice what is around you without trying to find anything,
Allowing your eyes to move around the room,
Looking up and down,
Even behind you into the corners of the room,
Noticing any colors,
Shapes and textures.
And when you feel ready,
Returning yourself back to center,
Gently closing down the eyes or softening the gaze towards the floor and beginning to notice what you hear around you.
Are there any sounds nearby or perhaps further away?
Simply noticing,
Allowing them to come into your awareness and then releasing.
Noticing now if there's anything you smell as you breathe in through your nose,
Anything you taste on your tongue and bringing your awareness now to the surface of your skin,
Noticing the sensation of your clothing on your skin,
Perhaps some coolness or warmth and feeling the weight of yourself seated and rooted down,
Held by gravity,
Rising up and rooting down.
And then coming into an awareness of your breath as it's moving in your body without needing to change anything,
Simply noticing.
And in a moment,
We're going to take three full,
Gentle,
Loving breaths together in through the nose with a little top up and then a sigh out.
So beginning to prepare for this by breathing all the way out and inhaling,
Little extra and sigh.
And again,
Breathing all the way in,
Little more and release.
One more time,
Loving full breath with that little more and letting it all go.
Letting go of the breath now,
Letting go of any effort,
Just receiving this prayer.
If you choose to lie down,
You're welcome,
But otherwise sitting comfortably,
Restfully,
Just being with whatever you're noticing in this moment.
Greetings,
Great spirit,
You who is alive in all as all is alive in you,
You who is the infinite within the finite and the finite within the infinite.
Thank you for this great mystery,
For this impossible experience of being here and now inside of the dream that you are dreaming.
Please continue to guide us on this path of experiencing and living in the present moment.
Thank you,
Great spirit.
To every cell in our bodies,
Thank you for this experience of the self as separate from the whole.
Thank you for your tireless work day and night in every moment,
Regenerating,
Healing,
Growing,
Gifting us this experience of ourselves as separate from the whole.
Please continue to guide us on this path,
Helping us to fully embody and embrace this experience.
Thank you to every cell in our bodies.
To great father sky,
With your witnessing eye of the sun and your incredible blanket of the stars and the moon,
Thank you for showing us the ways of the divine masculine.
As you witness everything that unfolds in the mother and in your witnessing gift,
The seed of life,
Thank you that you don't judge,
That you witness deserts and forests and everything in between and yet you still witness with love.
Please guide us on the path of the divine masculine so that we too may be in support of containment,
Of witnessing,
Of planting the seeds.
Thank you,
Great father.
Great mother,
Mother earth,
Thank you for your infinite gifts of creativity,
For your seasonality,
For your ever-changing creations,
For everything we will ever know in this life,
For all the sustenance,
The days and the nights,
The friendships,
The losses.
Thank you,
Great mother.
Please guide us on this path so that we too may come to learn the ways of the divine creative force of the universe,
That we too may be infinite creators.
Thank you,
Great mother,
For your gifts.
We honor you.
To our ancestors,
To our living elders and to those grandmothers and grandfathers who have already passed beyond,
The infinite line going back and back forever,
Thank you for everything that you went through that enables us to be here in this moment.
We ask for your forgiveness for any judgments we have held for you.
We give thanks and humble ourselves before you,
Knowing that we exist because of you,
That we have come through you.
Please guide us in the ways of integrating and healing what no longer serves so that we may be in service to your healing,
To our healing and to the healing of all those who come after us.
Thank you to our ancestors.
To our guardians,
Guides,
And allies,
Those beautiful teachers on the path who have walked before us and been courageous in your truth and shown us the way,
Please continue to gift us your incredible messages of divine wisdom and support us so that we too may be in service to others on the path.
Thank you to our guardians,
Guides,
And allies.
To all our relations,
To the flying,
Swimming,
Creeping,
Crawling,
Running ones,
To the north,
South,
East,
And west,
To the known and the unknown,
The seen and the unseen,
The above and below,
The within and the without,
To the fire,
Earth,
Air,
And water,
And spirit,
Thank you to all our relations.
We honor you and honor that this co-creation can only exist because you are here as we are here.
Please continue to dance this divine infinite dance with us as we all walk each other home.
Thank you to all our relations.
We nourish and nurture inner peace,
Kindness,
Joy,
Love,
Forgiveness,
Courage,
Playfulness,
And presence in ourselves and therefore in others.
Thank you for this life.
Thank you for this day.
Thank you for this moment.
Thank you for now.
Taking a deep breath in and letting it go.
Just sitting with whatever is present for you in this moment,
Noticing what's rising up in your being,
Whether it's a thought or an emotion,
Sensations in the body,
Any dreams or visions,
Memories,
It's all welcome.
And noticing if there's an intention that's rising for you now to carry with you for this day or this night,
Wherever you are,
Whatever you're doing,
Something you'd like to honor in your life to experience more of.
This might be inner peace or abundance,
Restfulness,
Or anything else.
Gifting yourself this intention rising through this prayer and then letting it go completely and trusting that what you seek is also seeking you.
And now noticing the weight of your body seated or lying down,
Notice where your body is connecting with the surface beneath you and taking in a full,
Gentle,
Conscious breath and letting it go.
And when you feel ready,
Slowly blinking the eyes open,
Allowing them to move around the space.
Is it the same things you noticed before?
Is it different?
Are you different?
It's all welcome.
And noticing again any sounds around you coming back to the surface,
Back to the present moment,
The space.
And if it feels good for you,
Moving your body in any way,
Giving a nice stretch or a shake or a little self-massage,
I wish you blessings on your day or your evening.
May this prayer stay with you,
Knowing that you can return to this anytime you need and giving thanks to you for you.
I love being me with you.
Blessings on the path.
