Title: inner fire

Age: 50

Location: england

I am as everyone is,  on a journey through life and hence approaching physical death but not death of the soul.  I'm finding myself through connecting with people, the earth, sky, and spirit.  At the moment poetry, photography, making mandala's and medicine wheels with image, word and crystals, energy work - Divinity IN, reiki and the crystal kingdom are my driving force and I'm learning to drum - djembe style.

May peace prevail on Earth



One of the basic points is kindness.  With Kindness, with love and compassion, with this feeling that is the essence of brotherhood, sisterhood, one will have inner peace.

Address from the Dalai Lama 1981

GRATITUDE TO THE EARTH

My feet touched the earth.  Accepting them warmly, the earth embraced my soul.  I walked on the earth in silence, and the earth was in peace.  The earth always welcomes us tenderly, without uttering a word.  Always, the earth embraces us in silence.  Even if trodden upon, hurt, or polluted, the earth never tries to take revenge.  The earth only gives.  In heartfelt gratitude I touch the earth and become as the earth.  Oh, beloved earth - on behalf of all humanity I thank you.

THE CELTRIC TRINITY

Trust in your soul
Believe in your heart
Have faith in your mind

This beautiful meditation is from Yogananda's book of affirmation

Fix your mind inwardly between the eyebrows on the shoreless lake of peace

Watch intently the eternal circle of rippling peace all around you.  The more you watch intently, the more you will feel the wavelets of peace spreading from the eyebrows to the forehead, from the forehead to the heart and on to every cell in your body and inundating the vast territory of your mind.  The flood of peace flows over the boundaries of your mind and moves on in infinite directions.

My heavenly father, thou art love, and I am made in Thine image.  I am the cosmic sphere of love in which I behold all planets, all stars, all beings, all creation as glimmering lights.  I am love that illumines the whole of the universe.

Stream of Life

The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day

runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures.

It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth

in numberless blades of grass

and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers.

It is the same life that is rocked in the ocean-cradle of birth

and of death, in ebb and in flow.

I feel my limbs are made glorious by the touch of this world of life.

And my pride is from the life-throb of ages dancing in my blood this moment.

a very small part of 'Gitanjali' by Tagore

Recognition of the soul within oneself or within others comes from direct experience of seeing more deeply into ourselves, and receiving the truth of what we see.  Such receptivity joins the physical plane with the plane of creation, enabling us to release the illusion that our bodies are who we are, and to go beneath this perception to the presence that lives within.  The joining of planes of being occurs for some people in a moment of oneness with nature and for others in the perception of direct acts of grace.  However it occurs, the curtain between the spiritual and the physical can be lifted so that we see the soul of others shining behind their eyes, so that we feel the spirit that infuses all of life, and so that we sense the presence of our larger identity or soul at the centre of who we are.

The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough.  ~Rabindranath Tagore


THE LORD'S PRAYER

O Cosmic Birther of all radiance and vibration

Soften the ground of our being

And carve out a space within us

Where your presence can abide

Fill us with creativity

So that we may be empowered

To bear the fruit of our mission

Let each of our actions bear fruit

In accordance with our desire

Endow us with the wisdom to produce

And share what each being needs

To grow and flourish

Untie the tangled thread of destiny that binds us

As we release others from

The entanglement of past mistakes

Do not let us be seduced by that which would

Divert us from our true purpose

But illuminate the opportunities of the present moment

For you are the ground and the fruitful vision

The birth power and the fullfilment

As all is gathered

And made whole once again

TRANSLATED by Mark Hathaway from ancient Aramaic


St Theresa's Prayer

May today there be peace within
May you trust God that you are
exactly where you are meant to be
May you not forget the infinite possibilities
that are born of faith
May you use those gifts that you have received
and pass on the love that has been given you
May you be confident knowing
you are a child of God
Let this presence settle in your bones
and allow your soul the freedom to
to sing, dance, praise and love
It is there for each and every one of us

A BLESSING

May the light of your soul guide you.
May the light of your soul bless the work you do
with the secret love and warmth of your heart.
May you see in what you do the beauty of your own soul.
May the sacredness of your work bring healing,
light and renewal to those who work with you
and to those who see and receive your work.
May your work never weary you.
May it release within you the wellsprings of
refreshment, inspiration and excitement.
May you be present in what you do.
May you never become lost in the bland absences.
May the day never burden,
May dawn find you awake and alert,
approaching your new day with dreams, possibilities and promises.
May evening find you gracious and fulfilled.
May you go into the night blessed, sheltered and protected.
May your soul calm, console and renew you.

From the book ANAM CARA - spiritual wisdom from the celtic world by John O'Donohue








A Sioux Prayer

O our Father the Sky, hear us and make us strong
O our Mother the Earth, hear us and give us support
O spirit of the east, gift to us gentleness and strength of spirit
O spirit of the south, may we tread your path of life
O spirit of the west, may we always be ready for the long journey
O spirit of the north, purify us with your cleansing winds
