ENTER A STATE OF CALM AND RELAXATION by listening to the rhythm of your breath (listen to the flow, feel the flow, and experience the calm…)

SAY THIS AFFIRMATION - STATEMENT OF TRUTH ABOUT DEVELOPING PEACEMAKERS’ CONSCIOUSNESS:

Some optional affirmations:

  • I bless this situation, may peace and calm surround us.

  • I bless this challenging (name the situation) may it bring prosperity into my life and the life of others.

  • The miracle-working power of God within me enables me to experience bliss, peace, and love for humanity.

  • I choose to accept a calmer, more relaxed approach to life; I share that approach with others.

  • I am blissful, I savor, preserve, and spread God’s message of peace to others.

Peace Meditation

PLACE EVERYTHING ASIDE, PUT YOUR FEET ON THE FLOOR (CENTERING YOUR BODY TEMPLE), PLACE YOUR PALMS UP OR DOWN (OPENING YOUR BODY TEMPLE), AND CLOSE YOUR EYES (SHUTTING OUT ALL EXTERNAL DISTRACTIONS).

BEGIN RHYTHMIC BREATHING, AS YOU ENTER INTO A MEDITATIVE STATE FOCUSING ON ONENESS WITH THE DIVINE SPIRIT WITHIN.

Replacing and releasing (emotional cleansing): All situations have their opposites. Therefore, you have the spiritual power to bring the positive and release the negative. Using the vibrational energy from your breath and thoughts, as you inhale, say:

“Peace”

Then, as you exhale, say:

“I release chaos”

Repeat each meditative affirmation 3xs.

Go with the flow of the rhythm of the Universe as you sit in the stillness and let the vibrational energy from the word peace radiate throughout your body.

Focus on the pit of your stomach, your wisdom center, begin to listen to the still small voice, this voice is the voice of the Divine. Ask Divine Spirit what it is you need to "say or do," “change or release" to have inner peace and be peace centered. Listen for Divine Guidance as you wait in silence.

Acceptance: If you lose your focus, begin to listen to the rhythm of your breath. When you receive some understanding about what it is you need to do, return to your physical space and give thanks to the Divine.

Peacemaker’s Prayer

Almighty God, we come to you because we understand the importance of being One with the Divine Spirit within. We are aware that we are children of God and Children of Peace. We know that we are the ones to savor, preserve, and spread your message of peace to humanity. We understand that having inner peace and being peace centered are the solutions for experiencing peace in our lives and bringing peace to our world.

We understand there is energy in our words, and there is even greater energy in saying words in the Aramaic tongue. We increase our emotional BLISS, by affirming, “Shlama Raba," "Huba Raba," " Hadutha Rabtha," “La-alam almeen.” We affirm great peace, great love, and great joy, now and forever. Amen.

A ThANKSGIVING Prayer Showing Gratitude For The Spiritual Power Of Love

All Mighty God, this Holiday Season, we silence our bodies and minds in recognition of our Oneness with the Divine Spirit. In silence, we give thanks, praise, and love for the many blessings God has provided for us throughout the year, and for the blessings, we will continue to receive.

Never before in recent times have we experienced so much chaos, hate, dishonesty and disharmony at all levels of government and in our daily lives due to the lack of love in the hearts of humankind. This Holiday Season we come together to give special thanks as we understand that we are all blessed with the Divine Spiritual Power of love. We are aware that God is love and we are manifestations of the love of God. Therefore, we are heirs of God's love, strength, and power; for this we say thanks.

We affirm to use this power of love to change the chaos in our lives and change the world. We will use our power of love to bring harmony into our lives and the lives of others. We are aware of the need to display attitudes of love in our homes, on our jobs, and in our communities. We know it is important to show love, care, and concern for all humankind, all creations, especially for the oppressed, and those who may be experiencing physical challenges or grieving the loss of a loved one or a friend.

We affirm that our government officials, local, state and national, will make decisions based on unconditional love, care, and concern for the people they serve. For those who have hate and prejudice feelings in their heart, may they become aware of their love power and replace their negative feelings with love and compassion.

We accept that it is the will of God for all women, men, boys, and girls to live their lives free from chaos and fear, and with dignity and pride. We give thanks for the Divine Spiritual Power of Love through the Christ within. And so It Is.
