I offer this prayer from my inner most being.
Come join me here where the silence holds us close.
Rest in your self.
There is nothing here but the sweet nectar of the fruits of rest.
Here is where the light bathes you.
Empty the mind filled with “shoulds” or “have tos.”
The calling of a world outside keeps you occupied for a moment,
But just a moment until your breath reminds you of why you are here.
The busy mind keeps you moving, for the sadness might consume you.
If you stop, these feelings might drown you in all that you think you have lost.
Notice your breathing and journey inward, silently aware of each
inhale and exhale.
Rest in your breathing as you connect to the body.
The delights of this inner world, shows you many landscapes of
valleys and mountains.
The places where the dark shadows of the past seem to meet the highs of a life worth living.
Watch as the feelings pass through.
Witness the moments without judgment.
Emptiness.
Begin to dissolve into something that desires to be born.
You have arrived to touch the deep canyon where nothing is.
This empty place within, where you are pregnant with the void.
God is here as a spacious being.
Like a hollow reed, sit waiting for creation to spring forth.
Give yourself this gift of rest.
Enter with love this beautiful temple of your heart.
A place prepared for all, a promise made,
if you can only stopand rest for a while.
A place within where you are safe and filled with the serenity of peace.
Now you have awakened to your true nature as consciousness.
Sweet surrender, where you embody the presence of just being.
Remembering why you came here to be.
Here you have touched the Beloved that you are.
Be love and be loved as you open each moment as if it were a present.
Blessed Be.
