A simple ritual

One of my daily rituals is a simple one. I sit in a half lotus position on a cushion on the floor and I enter into that wonderful dark place of infinite mystery and magic. It is the presence of my divine nature.

I offer blessings to the entire universe which really means being the peace, love, joy and limitless potential that I am as I remain one with all.

After an hour, having reconnected as fully as I can with my fundamental nature, I bring my hands together at my chest as if in prayer, reminding myself of what this symbolizes - the unity of all and it direction towards the highest source.

O Amida,
Oneness of Life and Light,
Entrusting in your Great Compassion,
May you shed the foolishness in myself,
Transforming me into a conduit of Love.
May I be a medicine for the sick and weary,
Nursing their afflictions until they are cured;
May I become food and drink,

During time of famine,
May I protect the helpless and the poor,
May I be a lamp,

For those who need your Light,
May I be a bed for those who need rest,
and guide all seekers to the Other Shore.
May all find happiness through my actions,
and let no one suffer because of me.
Whether they love or hate me,
Whether they hurt or wrong me,
May they all obtain true entrusting,
Through Other Power,
and realize Supreme Nirvana.
Namo Amida Buddha

Metta Karuna Prayer @ Buddhist Faith

At the frequency of Love

At the frequency of love
All doubts are stilled
All fear disappears
Jealousy is allowed to leave quietly
Anger is offered a choice

At the frequency of love
All matter is created for one thing
And one thing alone
The expression of love

The universe vibrates
At the frequency of love
Why then do you and I not feel it?
Why then do you and I crave this and that?
Why do we find ourselves
Afraid
Hurt
Vengeful
Powerless
When the universe vibrates
At the frequency of love?

Remember your dream as you slept?
So real it seemed
That nothing else was
Indeed, nothing else existed
While you were caught in your dream
Until you awoke
And reclaimed yourself, your life?

So it is, that you and I
Are caught in the dream of human existence
Where you and I and all our experiences
Our thoughts, our words,
Our actions and reactions,
All of these appear so real
So real, we forget
That we are only dreaming
Only dreaming this life into what it is
Only dreaming this life into what it has been
Only dreaming this life into what it will be

A dream, my friend
A grand, compelling, alluring, spell-binding, intoxicating dream
But a dream no less
A dream in which the frequency of love is no more
For the frequency of love is only experienced
When you are Awake!

It is then that you can reclaim your Self which you never lost
It is then that you can reclaim your Life which you never began
It is then and only then, that you can truly live
In the freedom, the peace, the joy, the wonder, the limitlessness
That you truly are
At the frequency of love!

Awake my friend
And live at last
In the frequency of love!
