Good Morning Beloved
Welcome to our Prayer and Meditation Service.
My name is The Reverend Ari-John White-Wolf and I will be your facilitator this morning.
I am grateful for all that is a part of my life. Please find a comfortable position as we begin our journey together. Here in this place we allow grace, there is no judgement, shame, or ridicule. We are perfect spiritual beings on a physical journey. Take in a deep breath in through your nose, and exhale through your mouth. Filling the lungs by breathing in the presence of pure love. Allowing all that needs to be released, to simply slip away.
The Sacred Text from today’s Daily Word the book of Psalm 9:1
-- "I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart.” -
Today in this virtual service: We are one with all that is, each other, and the great I Am.
This acknowledgment of the blessings we share and have available to us at all times. That there is but one presence, and one power in my life, God the Good.
Divine Love you know our hearts and our minds. Where two or more are gathered, you provide a way for all prayer needs and concerns.
We consider those who are suffering in their afflictions and their isolation. We lift them up and hold them in that perfect light. Collectively we see them all whole and complete. We hold those who may be struggling financially right now because of the economic impact of covid. That business owners would be given the funds to keep their stores open. That those in the workforce would continue to be financially taken care of during this time of pandemic.
We light a candle in our heart space, it is our representation of our needs and concerns. This image in our collective thoughts and prayers. This strength comes from being together, and we are one, our intentions are heard and accomplished. We are whole.
We allow gratitude to sink down into the deep. A sense of gratitude for my neighbors. I seek a place of gratitude across our Nation. Our hearts allow gratitude to be felt throughout the entire World.
Breathing in. We allow gratitude. It is all about accepting grace. Setting down troubles and releasing them.
This is the conclusion of our Prayer time.
We now begin our time of meditation.
If during this Meditation you find things slipping into your meditation. You can make your way back to contemplative joy by focusing on your breath. Let that image, slip away. Now beloved, I invite you to relax, release, and let go through the breath. Breathe in through your nose and exhale through your mouth. Breathe in this wonderful experience and presence of joy. Inviting Divine love to overflow and be the awesome I Am in your life. We are the light of love, it is the experience of joy. We are blessed during these moments of meditation, and we are whole.
I invite you to discover what is yours to do in the silence.
This concludes our time of Meditation.
The theme today is based on the Daily Word it is Grateful. I would like to share this affirmation with you. I will say it once and then you can repeat it with me.
"I bless the world by sharing my gratitude."
Together
"I bless the world by sharing my gratitude."
Thank you for your presence this morning. It was my pleasure to spend this time with you. Together we build our spiritual bodies. When we Pray and Meditate during these moments. We become stronger aspects of joy for the world.
We close this period of prayer and meditation with a sense of joy, peace, and love. It is my sincere hope that you are gentle with yourselves and with others. Consider being a lighthouse for others, rather than a storm.
I invite you to pray the blessing with me for yourself and for others.
We love you, we bless you, we appreciate you, and we behold the Christ you are!
Go in peace beloved, Namaste
