Pray for Peace

What does that well-intentioned request really mean? I do not see prayer as petitioning a separate Supreme Being for something. Many see it that way because the concept of the omnipresence of God, a tenet of the majority of organized religions, is difficult to understand when their stories revolve around an authoritarian father figure.

I consider prayer as an energetic alignment with others of similar intention, all of whom are connected though our common spark of divinity, for a specific outcome. We don’t actually pray to – we pray with. There is strength in numbers, and power in focus.

If prayer forms reality through energy, then it is neutral. It is directed by whatever the intentions of the group are. Atheists and agnostics pray, too, as do polytheists. Those interested solely in personal material gains do not pray for peace, because there is enormous profit in war and chaos and fear, as we can observe from the reality they intended.

War is not healthy for people or the planet, and so I am asking you to use your birthright access to Life Force Energy to join together and intend peace instead. That requires a recognition about how deeply a wartime mentality permeates our culture. There is a difference in being for something rather that against its perceived opposite.

In my book, I encourage specific practices for health and wellbeing motivated by positive self love. I ask that you adapt those as guidelines to form your specific practices for praying for peace, which is basically intending for the health and wellbeing of the planet and its inhabitants, motivated by agape love – unconditional, action oriented and universal.

My book begins with a quote from Petrarch, a 14th century Italian scholar who initiated the Renaissance, “Love is the crowning grace of humanity…” What does peace look like to you? Set your healing intention and engage your consciousness with those of like mind; have confidence in your own healing power; invite Life Force Energy to guide you; explore techniques like affirmations to shift your energy to become immune to negativity; breathe purposefully into your vision of peace; forgive and be grateful to restore health and freedom; transform everyday behaviors into loving and healing actions; take responsibility for making choices that restore peace. Raise your vibration by filling your mind with loving solutions instead of worries.

We need to heal from the ancestral wounds of a battle consciousness involving thoughts of revenge by allowing more of our Light to re-emerge and illuminate the darkness within ourselves. Live, love, laugh. Love is the only eternal. Change your thinking. Trust the process. Take your power back. Miracles happen instantly. Join with others to make Love’s magic happen.

Pray for peace.
