Another beautiful prayer...using images of the First People of North America...as offered by a favorite wise woman and author Lynn Andrews.
“Great Spirit, let the guardians of our dreams stand as sentinels around our beings as we move into the silence, as we move into that place of stillness and quietude where Spirit dwells.
Listen to the winds as they come out of the four directions. Name the winds that are your allies. Listen to the birds and the language of nature and the breath of summer.
You are each reflections of the Great Spirit. The Great Spirit blesses you and comes when you are most silent. Let your silence be like a prayer in the night, soft and quiet, full of integrity. Let your bliss move up through your body from Mother Earth, up into your heart, opening your heart chakra, making you vulnerable to something new and radiant that wishes to be part of you.
The first lesson of power is that we are alone. The last lesson of power is that we are all one. Great Spirit, there is an enormous chasm between those two statements. Most of us spend lifetimes bridging that gap. Silence of the mind, silence within the spirit, is a great bridge for that movement between body and spirit and aloneness, and loneliness and aloneness.
Great Spirit, let us feel your hand on our backs. May the wind caress us as the breath of your spirit as we move into the sacred silence, so that we can hear your words. Thank you, Mother Earth. Thank you, Great Spirit. Thank you my ancestors, the four-leggeds and the winged ones, and all the sacred beings that surround me. Thank you for being with us now! Ho!
Enjoy the reflections and the golden-hued days of summer within you.
In Spirit,
Lynn Andrews
