Live a graceful life
Undulating, 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

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.

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

For 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

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.

Sun appears
Pink turns to grey
Golden slivers

Time elapses
Clouds transform
Fill the sky
Grey, blue and white
Gentle breeze
Caress the treetops
World awakens
Splendid sight

Morning glory
Words of wisdom
To impart
From the teachings
Of the Father

New day beginning
Little hands

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

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.

I was born in the year of the Snake.
When I made this discovery, I felt an immediate rapport with these much-feared, slithering creatures.
I don’t have a fear of snakes.
I’ve never had reason to.
Unlike those who do fear them, I find myself excited when they make an appearance in my life.
I see them as sacred messengers of Spirit, who cross my path to impart some wisdom.
And just as nature holds messages for me, so do many other facets of my life.
My astrological signs, animal totems, past lives, angels and every other influence of that nature, have each had their own significance and impact.
Whether subtle or profound, each of these elements are all a part of the jigsaw puzzle which is my life. Continue reading

I ask You to be present
with me now.
Draw me close to You now.
Raise me up to be with You now.
Be with me during this healing session
and guide me in Your wisdom and Your Light.
I ask for my heart and mind to open,
so that all that takes place is of
the highest, most beautiful vibrations.
Bless me to do Your work here in this
moment so that all sorrow is removed
from myself and those I assist.
Let me be a full reflection
of Your most Radiant light,
so that all who are in my presence
see only You in me.
Thank You
Amen.

Dear God,
Today I call upon Your Name
and on my own.
Knowing that calling upon Your Name
is calling on my own.
As I repeat Your Name, I invite angels
to surround the ground on which I stand.
To sing to me as they spread out
their wings, to keep me safe and
shelter me from every wordly thought
that would intrude on my holiness.
As I repeat Your Name
please remind me of who I AM,
and by doing so acknowledge Who You are;
sole Creator of reality.
Let Your Name become the
all-encompassing idea that
holds my mind completely.
Through remembrance of You,
may I achieve a state in which
I experience the gift of grace.
As I repeat Your Name please render
all little names meaningless,
all little things silent,
and little sounds soundless,
so that little things of the earth
disappear.
With only Your Name remaining,
may I walk fully immersed
in thoughts of You today.
Thank You
Amen.

I ask for Your Grace to move me,
compel me, embrace me,
and unfold me.
Like the petals of a delicate flower,

sparkle in my heart and mind today.

My heart will speak to all who hear
The whispers of the Spirit near
To tread the path of heart and love
The path of wisdom from the Dove
Each one keeps in their possession
Love which finds its true expression
In the union formed between
Those in flesh and Those Unseen

Rapid water flowing
Shapes the waterfall
Still the lake lies frozen
Skating now for all
When the thaw releases
From the frosty grip
All the life which lies beneath
The frozen icy tip
Water now returns to find
Its worn and weathered course
And keeps its rhythm flowing toward
Its Ocean Mother Source

Dear God,
Today I feel only love around me,
Nature’s beauty to astound me.
These are things I am grateful for,
Each of these things and so many more.
Birds as they twitter and sit on the eaves,
Leaves as they rustle, the warm summer breeze.
These are things I am grateful for,
Each of these things, and so many more.
The sun as it shines in the clear blue sky,
Soft white clouds as they drift by.
These are things I am grateful for,
Each of these things, and so many more.
Fresh, clear, water to drink and to swim,
Healthy nutrition, to eat on a whim.
These are the things I am grateful for,
Each of these things and so many more.
An indigo canvas of moon and of stars,
People to love and hold in my arms.
Each of these things and so many more,
Are some of the things I am grateful for.
Thank You,
Amen.

My feet they stand
On sun drenched sand
The ocean now I see
Beyond all time
The clouds do climb
And roll and morph and flee
The moon and sun
Reflect the One
Who shaped the heart to be
Eternal Light
Of pure delight
Which calms the savage sea

Across the sea
My wings expand
On thermals I do sore
Unlimited
I trust the drive
Compelling to explore
Deep within
The settings fixed
Already steer the course
To destinations far beyond
And journeys to
The Source

Teardrops falling from my eyes
Touch my precious face
Even in the morningtide
Hopes all feel erased
Grip my heart with fear and dread
Grief will have its way
Tears, more tears and then some more
Seize another day
Evening comes and I’m alone
My heart still full of pain
I lay awake and cry some more
Filled with deepest shame
Alone I am not strong enough
To hold on to the Light
Within the depths of my despair
Where tests of faith ignite
The passion deep within us
To wrestle to the ground
The fear of not returning to
Where joy and smiles are found
I reach up to the heavens
I plead and I implore
The Deities who serve the One
Who never would ignore
I wait in hope and then again
My doubt begins play
On weaknesses still held within
On yet another day
But then … in moments brief and few
A chime it starts to ring
Like bells which sound the Angelus
For Mother of the King
I catch it just before it fades
And feel it shape and mould
The deepest wounded part of me
Which I no longer scold
The Light it grows now day by day
And glitters like the sun
To shine and brightly send its rays
To each and everyone
Who may be held in chains so tight
Which never will release
Their fragile spirit from the bonds
Of darkness, pain and grief
So watch the spark when first it comes
To bid you warm ‘Hello’
And hold it gently in your mind
So you can watch it grow
Till it exceeds all desperate fears
And hopes which have been lost
And raises up within its Light
The blessed Holy Ghost

Awaken children and let us see,
The Shining Light that is meant to be;
Shone forth in freedom and in love,
Sent from the Dear Ones from above.
To rid us all of the Dark Foes’ night,
Whose shadows hide the ephemeral Light.
Which keeps us safe and free from harm
and wraps around us peaceful calm.
So with this knowledge held within,
We easily move through the worldly din.
To find what it is we’re looking for:
The gateway to the Heavenly door.

Ready the Hand that carries
Minds shall be at peace
Watchful of the morning
Fear shall ever cease
Ever a day is burdened
Light shall pass right through
Till all pain is lifted
I shall be with you
See a bright new morrow
Taken in its stride
Whilst all children slumber
Be My faithful bride
On and on they tarry
Each day like the last
Never take a moment
To be of My caste
When the pain is lifted
All minds free of fear
Hearts and minds connected
Bliss and peace so dear

Seen by all in light
Presence of the One
Merely shed thy sight
Shining presence won
Open to the new
Measures own reward
Softly to the view
Stirling like the sword
Offerings of love
Held in darkest hue
Never to betroth
To thy banished view
Till the light shines cold
All is dressed in haste
Coverings of gold
Empty and not chaste
Love and light renew
Every break of day
Behold the message true
In gold and shining ray
Every child of God
Holds His message dear
Courageous, brave and bold
Into the brand new year
Keep sight shining bright
Fill all cups anew
Dispel the darkest fright
God’s passage for the few
All are welcome in
Only those will choose
Ready for the win
Nothing left to lose
Stay this precious course
Firm in marriage strong
To the light within
All that’s blessed won

Dear Lord,
May I learn my lessons
through joy today.
As I understand that the
experience of joy,
is the experience of You.
Remind me Lord, that lessons
need not be difficult,
and that learning can occur
happily and effortlessly,
With the help of the Holy Spirit.
May I enter into the knowing,
that as I choose joy,
I choose and honour You.
I give thanks for the awareness of You,
in my life today and always.
Thank You,
Amen.

Take this Orb contained within
Light the night sky bright
Fill each vessel from the port
Of thy blessed sight
Steady with each step you take
Forward is the way
Every hand that’s filled with hope
Defeats the dark night’s fray
When all the world is joined in love
And every heart is true
And all eyes see the blessedness
Of every peaceful view
We all above have triumphed
As joy fills every day
Because each Orb contained within
Is lit and shines the Way

I always watch with fascination when a panel or interviewer brings together an atheist and a believer.
Usually, they’re very well educated, and it always ends up being a competition rather than a sharing of different beliefs.
Of course, I’m always hoping the chosen representative of my team, The Believers, will say the things I’m thinking and win a point for our side.
But what usually follows is a steady and consistent thrashing as The Atheists pull their punches and win the day.
Their arguments often include, ‘God is for the weak minded who don’t like to face reality’, and ‘where’s the proof?’
I’m not sure if it’s my bias or a truly honest observation, but it seems to me that The Atheist becomes increasingly aggressive whilst The Believer, often a cleric, withdraws. Continue reading

Dear God,
I am afraid of what my future holds.
The unsureness of what the changes
in my life are bringing,
sometimes fills me with doubt and fear.
There are so many things that have become
confused in my mind,
as I have turned my back on my true nature,
and run from You.
Please dear Lord,
let me not fall into the arrogance of thinking,
I am above any experience that has been brought into my life.
Instead, please give me the understanding
of what it is I am meant to learn,
and the faith to know,
all things are exactly as they are meant to be.
Help me to see each child as my teacher,
and to remember that Your love
is present in each one.
Please help me to strengthen my resolve
to walk the path of my heart;
And in doing so,
Meet all of the responsibilities
that belong to me.
Please Lord,
Amen.

Over the years, I’ve found that I’ve had an uneasiness about use of the term ‘The Universe’.
Many people uncomfortable with the word ‘God’ seem to use the ‘The Universe’ as if the two were interchangeable.
I didn’t know what caused my uneasiness, but it was there whenever I heard this expression.
Conversely, I found that many, many people objected to, or were even offended by, the word ‘God’. So many people have negative associations with this word, largely owing to unpleasant and even sometimes detrimental experiences with religion, its teachings, or its clerics.
However, none of this explained my aversion to the ubiquitous new-age term ‘The Universe’. Continue reading

Please help me to remember,
that I have grown and changed.
I have had many wonderful experiences
in my life,
that have shown me a glimpse

There is a part of me,
I have found,
that is strong and at peace.

Show me what I have to do to remember You,
in everyone and everything.
