Prayer for Ukraine and Our World

You have a prayer in your heart. Lift it up into the world.


We are each created with the Divine inside us- where the true essence of our Light and Love dwells.
May you feel this
and be aware of this spiritual part of yourself—
& offer up a prayer
—for our world
—for the peoples of our Earth
—for the creatures that dwell in the lands, waters and sky
—for Mother Earth
our home.
Feel this prayer in your body and
ask your ancestors and Angels to pray for our world & earth too
Please Divine Source of Love,
hear our prayers and listen to us as we call out to You.
Amen.

***Ukraine is one of the largest growers of Sunflowers (a small one pictured above from my garden). Sunflowers turn towards the sun and follow the light throughout the day. They are filled with Light: The Divine Light of our Sun: The Divine Light of nature. May their glorious gift of Light be felt in your prayer and each time you see one may you lift your heart up in prayer for our world, the peoples, creatures and lands.

Blessings, Erin

A Blessing and Prayer for Grace

How are you today?

Last week I felt a strong sense of the presence of Grace in our lives. There is so much each of us hold: both pain and joy, sorrow and hope, loneliness and togetherness. There is also much beauty in our choice of how to open our hearts, to feel, to experience life. This is where Grace happens: in both the beautiful and difficult.

This prayer/poem is my gift to you. May there be openings in your life where you can feel and experience Grace. Grace is freely given always just because you are you. You are Beloved.

A Prayer for Grace

Grace is falling
falling from the skies;
it comes in thunderous waves of rain
and bright rays of sun
that embrace the land
everyone and everything are
within its reach
and touch.

Grace is rising
rising up from the earth
it comes in the songs of the birds
the beauty of the flowers and trees
inviting you to come closer
to see with your own eyes
to touch with your own skin
to feel within your own body.

Grace is speaking
speaking from the Spirit of Creation
from the tender mouth of God,
that dwells inside
every bud,
every wave,
every beam of light,
every person,
every creature,
every particle of life.

Grace is
LOVE
birthing,
resurrecting,
opening,
healing
You.

Grace is
MERCY
accepting,
embracing,
forgiving,
loving
You.

Grace is yours:
it is your gift
of God’s great Love for you
freely given,
alive,
everywhere,
within you,
and always upon you.

Amen.

Blessings of Grace upon you today and always,
Erin

Prayer during Difficult Times: Prayer during Natural Disasters

Where are you God
in all of this—
all that we feel,
even our Earth is crying—
She burns,
and her seas rage,
and her lands tremble—
even the beauty of her
seems to hurt.

I can’t find you…
—I’ve forgotten how to pray—
It’s just so much.

But then the sun rises
with its halo of burnt embers
And its light shines
through the haze
for Light always finds
its way through
and I am reminded
that you are still here—

and I realize these words
–here on this paper—
is my prayer
And each time someone reads
these words,
this becomes their prayer too—

Our voices rise.

We call out:
Please listen to our hearts,
God—
May you bring peace
to our worried minds;
May you bring healthy air to all
who need to breathe;
May you bring calm
to all those who feel chaos;
May you bestow protection
upon all who fear.
May you quench the fires,
quiet the seas,
bring harmony back to the lands.
May you lift our world
into your hands of LOVE.
We need you God,
we need you here with us.

Amen.

Blessings, Erin

Earth Day Prayer

How are you today?

May the Earth bless you with something wonderful, something that speaks to your soul.

Bless our earth
Thank you [Earth] for all the love
you bestow on us each day.
You awaken our souls to healing
You calm our grieving hearts
and give us a place to put our pain
You fill our hearts with hope
with the dawning of the morning light
You bless us with gentleness
as our ears are filled with songs of birds
In your presence we feel divinely loved
and full of gratitude deep in our hearts.

Earth Day Prayer

Happy Earth Day!

Blessings, Erin

The Moon’s Blessing

How are you tonight?

Pink Moon Blessing

Even in darkness
LIGHT ALWAYS
finds a way to shine through.

Just look up into the night sky
see the light of the moon
reflecting the sun’s love upon you.

May you feel this loving light upon you
bringing Healing, Hope and Blessings
to your mind, body and soul.

Blessings, Erin

**This is a photograph I took last night (April 7, 2020) of the Pink Moon in Massachusetts. Last night’s moon was also a supermoon. A supermoon is when the moon is closest to the earth in its orbit; and it is 100 percent illuminated. The Pink Moon spiritually signifies rebirth and renewal. Its presence in the night sky also reminds us that life has cycles of hibernation and rebirth.

Blessings of beautiful dreams for you, Erin

A Morning Blessing for You

Morning Blessing

Whether it is morning, daytime, sunset or nightfall, the air around us speaks to our bodies, it fills us, and touches us. It transforms us when we welcome its kindness and love. For it is always present. Always there. Just like divine love. Breathe today with a welcoming of air. Feel the way your soul awakens to the touch of its gentle presence upon your skin. Imagine each breath you take is awakening your mind, body and soul to healing.

Then..

Offer gratitude into the world for the gift of the air that you breathe… Be still and breathe.

Your breath is a blessing.

Blessings of healing in each breath you take today and always, Erin

Prayer for the Dying

I spend a lot of time thinking, and reflecting as many writers do. I offer up love into the world frequently: prayers for those who need them, prayers for all of us.

I wrote this prayer for the dying: maybe they are words that can be offered to the dying by the person who is with them. Maybe they are words you can offer from you heart into our world as so many are taking their last breaths from the Coronavirus. Maybe they are words that speak to you in another way.

Blessings upon the nurses, the doctors, the med students, the chaplains, all those who are at the bedside when when families can’t be there, especially these days with all that is happening in our world. And bless all of our families and friends, all of us, who are not able to be with Loved Ones when they die. May they know they are not alone in their grief. We are never alone in our grief. We are all here for each other in our pain. We all hold each other in our hearts.

Prayers for the Dying Coronavirus

It’s okay to let go,
I’m right here with you,
It’s okay to let go,
You’ve done your very best,
as you go beyond this place,
You will find that Love will carry you
to where you are going now.
And light will come upon you
filling you with peace.
You will be here always with those you Love,
you will be in the wind that blows in their hair,
you will be in the light of the sun that shines upon their faces,
you will be in the smell of their clothes,
in their photographs of memories,
you will always be with them,
deep in their hearts
they will always hear you,
feel you,
know you are there
in the most special of ways that are yours to share.
And know that you are deeply LOVED today,
You are forever Loved, throughout all eternity,
And forevermore.
Amen

 

And as, Imagine Dragons sing in their song, Birds: “Love will never die….I hope to see you again…”

Blessings upon all you feel in your heart, Erin

Be Kind to Yourself: A Blessing of Self Love

These are hard days. I find myself getting weary as the evening falls upon us. The days are filled with daylight and busyness with my children. They are good distractions from the internal story I hold. But when evening comes, my mind quiets and I begin to feel all the confusion my body is holding. The confusion that wonders, how is all this real? This virus has altered life so suddenly. ..

How are you?

There was no way to prepare for how this would feel and there is no playbook to tell us how we will feel tomorrow and the next day; the only thing you can do is feel what is inside yourself at any given moment. And whatever you feel is okay. It’s real. .

You are not alone. I’m right here with you feeling it too. Each of us is right here with you, feeling it too. So be kind to yourself, and allow yourself to feel. You are amazing!

And I honor you for your honesty of being you. I honor the divinity of you.

~Namaste🦋

How are you doing today?

I hold space for you. We all hold space for you.

.

Blessings upon you & all that you hold & feel, Erin

Prayer for Healing: A Healing Prayer for You

Prayers for Healing Coronavirus

O, Gracious Spirit of Divine Love,
Hear the prayers of our hearts.
May you bless our bodies with healing and strength,
as we take each breath,
so that our lungs are filled with peace,
a peace that moves through our bodies
releasing us from anxiety, worry and fear.
Please shine your light of hope upon our hearts and minds
so as we sit inside our homes
we become inspired to express ourselves
in new and creative ways
ways that bless the world with healing,
a healing that comes from the light in our hearts
that are filled with your love.

May we remember that we are never alone in our every days,
for You are always with us.
You are in the opening of each new flower,
in the song of every bird;
you are in the smile of every child,
in the care of every person’s hands;
you are in the melody of the wind,
in the rising and the setting sun;
you are in the flickers of the night’s stars,
and in the light of the moon.

Please help us, Spirit of Divine Love,
by blessing our world with your love,
your protection,
your guiding heart of wisdom,
and your grace.
And forever and ever have mercy upon us.
Thank you for your astounding Love.
Amen.

Blessings of healing to you, Erin
