  • Something a little different..

    FOUR DIRECTIONAL PRAYER MANTRAS

    EAST -

    Today I will acknowledge that to change my life requires the twin elements of wisdom and courage.
    Wisdom to understand that change is necessary and good,
    and courage to change my patterns of behavior even if they fly in the face of what others think and believe about me.
    Today I acknowledge that I have a sacred right to live my life as I desire,
    but that I do not have the right to play a role assigned to me in a dysfunctional situation
    for then the gifts freely given to me by the Great Spirit will be wasted..

    SOUTH -

    Today I acknowledge that I am connected to a spiritual power greater than myself
    and that this greater power (known as the Breath of the Invisible)
    loves me and created me in perfect balance with the Earth Mother.
    I will continue to heal myself by releasing my fear,
    and loving myself and others unconditionally.
    I place no boundaries, in other words on the love I give myself.
    I understand that self-worth comes from within my own soul.
    I understand that I do not have to be defined by wider world, or job position.

    WEST -

    Today I will acknowledge that change in my life must begin with me.
    Today I will speak honestly with myself.
    I will lock up my heart by locking up my emotions.
    I will listen to my dreams and visions and create a new reality for myself.
    I will stop denying that problems exist.
    Instead I will honor them for they have helped make me who I am at this moment in time.
    To deny my difficulties is to deny who I am.
    What I will do is dream new dreams for myself and lift up my spirit.

    NORTH -

    Today I acknowledge that my body contains a fantastic genetic code unique only to me.
    It is a vehicle of expression designed to transport and enable me to function within the physical realm of Earth –
    I do not devalue myself, therefore I will not devalue my body,
    for my body is the temple that houses the Mental, Spiritual and Emotional realms of my existence.
    I understand and accept that learning and changing takes time.
    I may not be able to expect an overnight miracle but I can expect a miracle over time.
