I wake up early when the world is quiet. I wrap myself in a blanket and sit down to take time out to meditate and pray over situations for clarity and a sense of calm.
I begin by breathing. As I inhale, I’m aware of how my body feels as well as what’s going on with my thoughts and emotions. As I exhale, with intention, I let go of anything that doesn’t concern me at that moment. I get in touch with a place inside myself where conflict, self-doubt, and judgment cease to exist.
Prayer and meditation are similar practices in that they both offer us a connection to our Creator.
Prayer is when we ask the universe for something, and meditation is when we listen.
With prayer and meditation we form a 2-way communication to our creator and we begin to have a genuine conversation with the universe. We just need to open up our hearts to look within for guidance. It is this faith that unites us in spirit.
By going within to my inner temple, I open my heart to receive the infinite abundance of Love that is our right and our divine inheritance. I go within to find the inner strength so that the world will not blow my candle out. Afterwards, I send Love to all, without any judgments.
I greet each new day with gratitude and with a sense of renewed energy.
Do you ever find it difficult to meditate ? Just lately it has seemed to be so for me yet

I’ve read in more than one place that we’re receiving “downloads” much more and energy is changing. When I’m at a bit of a loss I read out loud certain prayers.

Wonderful way to start (or end) each day. Must admit I’m finding it difficult to meditate lately, though when I’m walking in nature I tend to find my calm centre there so perhaps that’s also good. Lovely post.
