I’ll Keep You in My Prayers

August 31st, 2010

How many times have I heard someone say that?  Probably thousands.

I have to wonder though, just what are they doing when they are keeping me in their prayers.  How do they hold me in their prayers.  What image do I take in their mind as they pray for me?

It’s occurred to me recently that the image one holds in their mind as they pray is probably more important than the actual prayer itself.

After I read the book Mirror Therapy back in July, I began doing this meditation.  It’s not something from the book, but it uses things I learned about in the book.

So if you ever hear me say that I will pray for you… this is what you’re signing up for.

The basic premise is, once I go into a relaxed state, I see my “soul mirror,” which I’ve constructed in my own imagination and is unique to only me.  When I look in my soul mirror, I see my soul looking back at me.  Basically my soul looks exactly like me, only perfect.  Glowing.  Beautiful.  Untouched.  Unharmed.  Ageless.  Angelic even.

I imagine my soul looking back at me with complete love and acceptance, smiling with warmth.  I send love and light into my soul mirror and my soul radiates love and light back at me.

Now, I choose another person.  Someone whom I am wanting to “pray” for.  I see their soul looking back at me from their own unique soul mirror.  Just like mine, their soul looks like the perfect, ageless, beautiful, angelic Being that they truly are.  They are smiling out at me with the same warmth and love as in my mirror.  I behold the image of their beauty and perfection and once again send love and light into their mirror, bathing them in love.  I feel the same energy radiating from their souls back to me.

I have come to believe that when Jesus walked through towns and healed people, it was a variation of THIS prayer that he used.

I’ve heard some current day gurus philosophize that the reason Jesus could heal people in that way was because he didn’t see the malady.  He saw only the pure, perfect child of God that is the reality, and therefore by the laws of consciousness, the lesser vibration of the diseased had to rise and meet that of the healer.  He literally injected them with love, light, and complete faith in their well-being.

My grandmother was rather ill a while back and I said I’d pray for her.  How could I do her any good at all by holding the image of an ailing person in my mind and begging for her health.  The first thing that comes to mind is that, you should always hold the image of what you want to see in your mind.  So right there has me seeing her healthy.  The second thing is, I would never request her healing or regained health.  Those are back-words for disease.  I asked that she maintain her healthy balance and be vibrant and happy.

Only I didn’t ask.  I didn’t see her perfection in her mirror and say, “Dear God, please bring my grandma her healthy balance and make her vibrant and healthy.”

If I said that, I would be praying to a God that is outside of me.  The divinity is within.

Within the act of SEEING her as who she TRULY is…. her SOUL… and seeing her in that perfect state of Being, the request exists.  Only it’s not even a request, because to request something implies the possibility of the lack of fulfillment, but in praying this way, I find that there IS no possibility of lack of fulfillment.  That IS her soul.  It IS perfect and whole and the total sum of all she has the potential to be.  It already IS fulfilled.

I believe that seeing the souls of the people I pray for and knowing that what I see, literally already IS sure amps up the “faith” part of the equation.

When I pray for you, I do not see what you could potentially be or have.  I see a representation of the divine force within you, and encourage you to recognize it for yourself by projecting love to it  and helping it grow.

Reality Wishes & Fairytale Dreams

August 31st, 2010

Greetings, my smiling friends!

Today is a very special day for Mike and I.  Today we have been arm in arm in this world together for 12 years.  I still wake up in the morning and wonder what amazing stockpiles of karma I must’ve earned in my last life to be so completely blessed in this one.

It really is a dream life.  A fairytale.  Some perfect work of fiction romanticized by a poet who lived long ago, now manifest in a living reality.  My reality.

Even when I hate him, which is very rarely, I still love him with a force so all consuming as to take my breath.  A force intensified by a thousand when I am loving him.

It’s unreal to me sometimes.  There are days I fear I might wake up.

He makes me want to be better.  To do better.  To live up to him.

There is always a danger when you place someone upon a pedestal, that they may topple off.  But it’s not upon a pedestal that I keep him.  He just IS that fantastic.  There is no one thing that he could ever do that would displace him from my heart.  Never in my entire life has any person loved me so completely, and without condition.

It truly is a beautiful fairytale in which I reside.

It Approaches

August 31st, 2010

Cold mist
forming, gliding ethereally as the cloak of night pulls tight across the scape.

Sun sparks like flint.

Tips of fire
burning crimson, climbing limbs like crackling fuse.

Dog feet
wet with dew bounding in with morning glee.

Autumn
