Peace and Prayer Day All Nations, All Faiths, One Prayer!
Ceremony Suggestions
VISUALIZE Visualize light arising within yourself and expanding throughout your neighborhood, your nation, and the world. See in your mind’s eye the Earth surrounded by a soft, golden light. Hold the planet gently in your loving hands, a golden light flowing through you. Picture the leaders of troubled nations embracing across negotiating tables. Imagine the smiling faces of burdened people in the news surrounded by light, your loving light. Imagine the planet’s nature kingdom whole and serene, the oceans and rivers sparkling clean, the earth free from contamination and the air sweet and pure. See lights twinkling brightly all over the world, an Earth totally in harmony. Hold each image as long and intently as you comfortably can.
MEDITATE Within yourself find that silent place where universal peace dwells and All Is One. In this place there can be no conflict, no aggression, no hate. All fear is set aside in love. Remain in this state and allow the energy to flow through you. Feel it flow into the world as you align with All That Is. You are a point of light within the Greater Light. You are Divine Love. You are a channel for Peace, Joy, Healing and Infinite Harmony. Connect with and acknowledge the countless others on all planes sharing this energy. Send them your love.
PRAY In the stillness of your inner being focus loving, peaceful and healing prayer on places and people in conflict. Direct your prayers for wisdom to the leaders of nations. Offer your prayers for the media, hospitals, the victorious and the vanquished; wherever you perceive need, send forth the focused intent of truth and love. Speak the Great Invocation, recite the Lord’s Prayer, or any invocation of peaceful intent from any faith. May Peace Prevail on Earth.
ENJOY Any concept which embodies peaceful and loving intent is complimentary to Peace the 21st celebrations. The important point is to create a wave of group energy around the Earth. Plant a tree. Draw a poster. Dance or sing of Peace. Celebrate the Goddess. Visit and energize a sacred site. Bless the forests and the oceans. Honor Peace in a moment of silence. Just light a candle and speak words of wholeness and gratitude, or do all of the above, freely expressing in your own way. Arrange a social event or potluck supper afterward. Peace is Love and Light and Joy. Enjoy yourself!
NETWORK Form your own Peace the 21st group or network. Encourage other existing groups to participate. Tell people you know.
