PRAYERS
PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO CLOSE YOUR EYES, OPEN your heart,
and feel all the love that comes from your heart.
I want you to join with my words in your mind and in your heart, to feel a
very strong connection of love. Together, we are going to do a very special
prayer to experience a communion with our Creator.
Focus your attention on your lungs, as if only your lungs exist. Feel the
pleasure when your lungs expand to fulfill the biggest need of the human body
— to breathe.
Take a deep breath and feel the air as it fills your lungs. Feel how the air is
nothing but love. Notice the connection between the air and the lungs, a
connection of love. Expand your lungs with air until your body has the need to
expel that air. And then exhale, and feel the pleasure again. Because when we
fulfill any need of the human body, it gives us pleasure. To breathe gives us
much pleasure. Just to breathe is enough for us to always be happy, to enjoy
life. Just to be alive is enough. Feel the pleasure to be alive, the pleasure of the
feeling of love….
PRAYER FOR FREEDOM
Today, Creator of the Universe, we ask that you come to us and share with us
a strong communion of love. We know that your real name is Love, that to have
a communion with you means to share the same vibration, the same frequency
that you are, because you are the only thing that exists in the universe.
Today, help us to be like you are, to love life, to be life, to be love. Help us
to love the way you love, with no conditions, no expectations, no obligations,
without any judgment. Help us to love and accept ourselves without any
judgment, because when we judge ourselves, we find ourselves guilty and we
need to be punished.
Help us to love everything you create unconditionally, especially other
human beings, especially those who live around us — all our relatives and
people whom we try so hard to love. Because when we reject them, we reject
ourselves, and when we reject ourselves, we reject You.
Help us to love others just the way they are with no conditions. Help us to
accept them the way they are, without judgment, because if we judge them, we
find them guilty, we blame them, and we have the need to punish them.
Today, clean our hearts of any emotional poison that we have, free our minds
from any judgment so that we can live in complete peace and complete love.
Today is a very special day. Today we open our hearts to love again so that
we can tell each other “I love you,” without any fear, and really mean it. Today,
we offer ourselves to you. Come to us, use our voices, use our eyes, use our
hands, and use our hearts to share ourselves in a communion of love with
everyone. Today, Creator, help us to be just like you are. Thank you for
everything that we receive this day, especially for the freedom to be who we
really are. Amen.
PRAYER FOR LOVE
We are going to share a beautiful dream together — a dream that you will
love to have all of the time. In this dream you are in the middle of a beautiful,
warm sunny day. You hear the birds, the wind, and a little river. You walk
toward the river. At the edge of the river is an old man in meditation, and you
see that out of his head comes a beautiful light of different colors. You try not to
bother him, but he notices your presence and opens his eyes. He has the kind of
eyes that are full of love and a big smile. You ask him how he is able to radiate
all that beautiful light. You ask him if he can teach you to do what he is doing.
He replies that many, many, years ago he asked the same question of his
teacher.
The old man begins to tell you his story: “My teacher opened his chest and
took out his heart, and he took a beautiful flame from his heart. Then he opened
my chest, opened my heart, and he put that little flame inside it. He put my heart
back in my chest, and as soon as my heart was inside me, I felt intense love,
because the flame he put in my heart was his own love.
“That flame grew in my heart and became a big, big fire — a fire that doesn’t
burn, but purifies everything that it touches. And that fire touched each one of
the cells of my body, and the cells of my body loved me back. I became one
with my body, but my love grew even more. That fire touched every emotion of
my mind, and all the emotions transformed into a strong and intense love. And I
loved myself, completely and unconditionally.
“But the fire kept burning and I had the need to share my love. I decided to
put a little piece of my love in every tree, and the trees loved me back, and I
became one with the trees, but my love did not stop, it grew more. I put a piece
of love in every flower, in the grass, in the earth and they loved me back, and
we became one. And my love grew more and more to love every animal in the
world. They responded to my love and they loved me back, and we became
one. But my love kept growing and growing.
“I put a piece of my love in every crystal, in every stone in the ground, in the
dirt, in the metals, and they loved me back, and I became one with the earth.
And then I decided to put my love in the water, in the oceans, in the rivers, in
the rain, in the snow. And they loved me back and we became one. And still my
love grew more and more. I decided to give my love to the air, to the wind. I
felt a strong communion with the earth, with the wind, with the oceans, with
nature, and my love grew and grew.
“I turned my head to the sky, to the sun, to the stars, and put a little piece of
my love in every star, in the moon, in the sun, and they loved me back. And I
became one with the moon and the sun and the stars, and my love kept growing
and growing. And I put a little piece of my love in every human, and I became
one with the whole of humanity. Wherever I go, whomever I meet, I see myself
in their eyes, because I am a part of everything, because I love.”
And then the old man opens his own chest, takes out his heart with that
beautiful flame inside, and he puts that flame in your heart. And now that love is
growing inside of you. Now you are one with the wind, with the water, with the
stars, with all of nature, with all animals, and with all humans. You feel the heat
and the light emanating from the flame in your heart. Out of your head shines a
beautiful light of different colors. You are radiant with the glow of love and
you pray:
Thank you, Creator of the Universe, for the gift of life you have given me.
Thank you for giving me everything that I have ever truly needed. Thank you for
the opportunity to experience this beautiful body and this wonderful mind.
Thank you for living inside me with all your love, with your pure and boundless
spirit, with your warm and radiant light.
Thank you for using my words, for using my eyes, for using my heart to share
your love wherever I go. I love you just the way you are, and because I am your
creation, I love myself just the way I am. Help me to keep the love and the
peace in my heart and to make that love a new way of life, that I may live in
love the rest of my life. Amen.
