Inspired moment

By Karen Scott 2 Comments

Image of sun and mountainUndulating, strong, serene
Peace on Earth
As above so below
Lungs of this world
Breathe life

Resuscitate
Expired, empty fragments
Of consciousness
Birthed as One
Wholly unified

Restore truth
Of One Source
Eternal Will
Supplicates in surrender
The mortal being

Prayer for a peaceful Christmas

By Karen Scott 2 Comments

Loving Father,

Please be with me this Christmas.
Bring into my mind
Your blessings and Your Grace.
Through Your Light,
my mind is transformed.
The world is transformed.
Be with me during this
Christmas season.
Keep my mind focused
on the things of Spirit and
please, use me as Your instrument
to spread Your Light and Love
to this small part of the world.
To acquaintances, to friends
and, most especially, to my family
with whom I hold a sacred contract,
I give Your love.
Let me be the one who brings
Your peace, Your gentleness,
Your kindness.
Let each one I encounter
know that I’m with You and
You’re with me.
Please give us an experience
of Your Grace and Peace,
so that we may feel You
present this Christmas and always.

Thank You
Amen.

For unto us a child is born

By Karen Scott 2 Comments

Long ago a child was born
His mother chaste and pure
He held a love the world had lost
His heart would bring its cure

The prophets had foreseen this One
The Light of love reborn
And all who kept the vigil knew
A promise was forsworn

This One would be a Kingly man
No jewels or gold need He
But Love and Peace and Gentleness
His throne would oversee

Into our world the Prince of Peace
Made entrance from the sphere
Where Angels’ voices still create
The Gloria atmosphere

So ‘Christ on High Messiah reigns’
The Angels all do sing
And Mary Queen of Heaven hails
Hosanna to our King

It’s the most wonderful time of the year

By Karen Scott Leave a Comment

Image of Christmas windowFor some people, Christmas can be a time of the year that they’d rather not have to think about.

They may even want to avoid it.

The commercialism, and inappropriate values associated with it, can lead people to feel that the only meaning to be found in Christmas is the power of the mighty dollar.

Yet at the heart of Christmas is the gift of sharing and love that we offer one another. Continue reading

Prayer for Easter

By Karen Scott Leave a Comment

Image of a heart

Dear God,

Please be with me this Easter,
as I reflect on the Passion
and the Resurrection.
As I bring into my mind all those
that I love this Easter,
May I see all the places where I
resist that love.
Where I have judged or blamed another,
help me to see their innocence
and their full reflection of You.
I open my mind to receive You, dear God.
Let me hear the softness
of Your Voice within me,
so that a new understanding
of forgiveness fills my mind and heart.
May this and every Easter be
filled with true forgiveness;
And may Your Blessings and Your Love
Unify us all.

Thank You,
Amen.

The Easter gift

By Karen Scott 4 Comments

Image of a sunset

Easter — Eostre,
New Beginnings
Bunnies, eggs
New life abounds;
From a distant
Time and country
Symbols formed
And shaped around

Pagan stories
Filled with myth
Power placed in
Nature’s kind;
But One had
A different message
All within
One Blessed Mind

How to teach us
Such a learning
Held in deepest
Love for all;
Only such a One
Could teach
And lift us up
From such a fall

Remembered for His sacrifice
As if He Thought His body real
But He knew through His forgiveness
Each and every mind would Heal

Master, Teacher
Dearest Son
Brother of all men
Is He
Christ within;
Each child of God
This message True
He brought to me

Easter stories
Bring a blessing
To forgive
Our heavy heart
By extending
Love to others
Forgiveness, the
True Healing Art

Sleep-over sunrise

By Karen Scott 4 Comments

Image of a sunrise

Image: The Knowles Gallery

Pink and yellow
Marshmallow clouds
Suspended in
An azure sky

Sun appears
Pink turns to grey
Golden slivers
Rising high

Time elapses
Clouds transform
Fill the sky
Grey, blue and white

Gentle breeze
Caress the treetops
World awakens
Splendid sight

Watched together
Morning glory
Words of wisdom
To impart

From the teachings
Of the Father
Touched her precious
Mind and heart

Morning Light
New day beginning
Little hands
The window touch

Hugs and kisses
Stories, laughter
Children’s hearts
Which love so much

A flower’s power

By Karen Scott 2 Comments

Image of poppies

Image: Greg Balzer

Woolly pods containing life
Held upon a curling thread
Reaching this way bending that
Waiting patiently to shed

Green-brown casings peel away
Pop and fall and scatter free
Pretty poppies now emerge
Petals unfurl, colour spree

Nature’s potent pacifier
Cast your spell, entice a daze
Just a little dangerous flower
Paper-thin your petals blaze

Brightly coloured heads are lifted
Boldly face towards the sun
Colours rich in vibrant shades
Brush strokes from the Gracious One

All power comes from One above
Nature’s precious gifts enfold
Songs of Beauty, Strength and Grace
The silent power poppies hold

Deep calm

Waves of soothing calmness
Flowing through my heart

Spilling over all distress
It’s the healing art

Rippling subtle energies
From the Source of Love

Emanating peace and light
Within and from Above

Prayer to surrender a healing session

By Karen Scott Leave a Comment

Image of a face and hand

Image: Mayr

Dear God,

I release the outcome of this healing session
into Your Loving Hands.
Knowing that You are the Presence and
the Power, here and now.
Use me as Your instrument,
and imbue my mind with
the thoughts You would have me think,
the words You would have me say,
and the actions You would have me perform,
so Your truest healing miracles can occur.
Bless the one I’m assisting
and let nothing of my small self pass to them.
Let them only receive what You would have them receive,
and experience what You would have them experience;
for their healing, happiness and peace.
May they experience only You in me.

Thank You
Amen.
