Prayer

Facing myself with respect, my life pattern started to change inside. I experienced self healing and a deeper spiritual connection to my Creator.

 I used to have judgment on myself and think of my own unworthiness because that was what I was used to. I kept myself closed off from knowledge, and distanced myself from my own inner visions. Sooner or later I started to feel separated from the Source.

  It has been my understanding when I keep my heart and mind open, especially if I am called to learn something that I gravitate to, I still get a little cautious in the understanding of it. I have found that surrounding myself with the people that truly supported me on my path and loved me for me, I realize that I was creating that reality. So, I learned to trust the power of connecting with the Creator before I start my day and I was surprised how right action became second nature.

 I use prayer or song to empower my heart path, to restore a good start for the day. It opens a path in my soul body so, the Creators light can pass through and purge any unwanted feelings before I go out the door.

 A comitment to connecting me with the Creator once every day was enough to break free from tired old routines of stress and experience a much "sweeter life."

One of my favorites is.........

O great white light spirit, who's voice I hear in the wind, whose breath giving life is for all in the world and creation. I come before you, one of your many children, out of so many lifetimes. I am with mis understanding and sometimes weak of heart. I need you wisdom, your strength and your knowledge. Let me walk in your beauty with understanding in my heart.  Make my eyes ever behold your red, orange, gold, and purple sunsets. Make my hands respect the things you have made. Make my ears sharp to hear your voice, let me speak with wisdom with your voice from within. Teach me the things you have taught others, the lessons hidden in a rock or a leaf.

I need your strength of divine love and not to be superior to my fellow man or to nature but, to be able to fight my greatest enemy, myself.

Let me ever come to you with straight open eyes and a clean, clear, heart, body, mind, and soul spirit,

For when my life fades as the fading sunsets each day, my spirit may come to you without shame.

"3 stone self healing"

As we wake in the morning, it is important to have a clean sense of focus to our day. It is vital that we awake in the blissfulness of nights past  and a bring a feeling of gratitude into our day.

Your days can then freely eluminate new experiences for you by the blessings you begin your day with:

To start we choose 3 stones that call to us.  These stones are guided to be with us and have their own spiritual qualities that have chosen to help us on our life journey.

The first stone comes from water, a river, lake, or ocean. Preferably moving water (not stagnate).

The second comes from the path we walk on, a hike, sitting under a tree, or one that stands out from the others.

The third from fire, light, a stone that is always in the day's sunlight.

Once the 3 stones are collected we can begin to use them for our spiritual path.

I use the water stone for my dream time, before I sleep I hold the water stone in my left hand to receive the blessing of water energy for my nights journeys. I merely visualize the energy of water entering me, the waves or movement of the water is enough.

 I take the path stone and place it on my heart "Chakra" or the "Solar Plexus" and give it all the discomforts and worries that I carried throughout my day. I give it all to the stone until I feel empty inside.

The Fire stone is placed on my 3rd eye, and I visualize my life in an uninterrupted dance in the light. My family, my friends, my future friends, my life's work etc, In complete harmony. I make wishes for the world and my communities, for the children and the Elders.

In this way we begin to materialize an investment of faith into the coming days. We begin to realize the love in our lives and how prayer works for us as long as we learn to let go of self doubt, morbid reflections, and worry.

I keep my stones beside my bed, and feel our connectedness to each other.

In the days of the full moon I take each one and pour water over them to cleanse them.

We use these stone in honor for what has been freely given to us, to say "thank you" to our Creator for sharing this wisdom with the common people.

I pray that these techniques will be helpful to you in some way and share it with others if it helps you.

This has been one of many experiences that I am happy to share with you. I will continue to write new techniques throughout the coming years.
