What is about to follow is a guided process conducted by Anthony DeMello.
Please do not listen to this while operating a motor vehicle or any kind of equipment.
From time to time you will hear a chime.
The purpose of that chime is to invite you to put the recording on pause while you either complete an exercise or reflect on something that Anthony DeMello has said.
The next exercise,
The sunrise,
Suggests a practical way of loving yourself and the whole of creation.
Become aware of all the sounds around you and of your surroundings,
The grounds,
The trees,
This room,
The furniture.
Then become aware of your body and your heartbeat and your breathing.
Now each time you breathe out pronounce the name of Jesus slowly,
Peacefully.
Imagine that despite the brightness of the sun there is a darkness at the heart of every being that only grace can banish.
To exterminate that darkness you pronounce the name over each part of your being that is in need of healing.
Your heart,
Your mind,
Your limb,
Your senses.
And as you do this imagine that you see each part become aglow and alive with grace.
Then create an atmosphere of grace all around you in which to live and move and have your being.
How would you do this?
Begin with the walls and the furniture of your room.
Make them luminous by pronouncing the name of Jesus over each of them.
Then say the name over each of the things that you are going to use today.
Your books and pen,
Your clothes,
Your shoes,
The house,
The dining room,
Its furniture,
The cutlery,
The crockery,
The kitchen,
Its utensils.
The food you will eat,
The water you will drink and wash in,
The grounds,
The trees,
The birds.
As you do this you must imagine that all of them become filled with grace and illumined by the name.
Now pronounce his name over every person you will meet today and see them glow with health and grace as you do this.
Finally recite the name over the earth and all its peoples,
Over the sun,
The moon,
The universe and the whole wide immensity of space.
