Welcome to the Earth Prayer Meditation Room.

We invite you to begin or deepen your life of blessing, today.

And we especially invite you to join us

in affirming the meditative prayers offered below,

at the turn of each hour of every day (or as often as the Spirit moves you)

in reciting as many or as few of the verses as feels right to you,

in repeating the verses to which you are especially drawn,

in composing and praying your own meditative prayers

of opening and connecting, of blessing and commitment,

in the spirit of what is offered here,

or praying similar prayers from your own spiritual tradition.

We have no idea how many people are participating each hour

and most likely will never know.  You are free to imagine

as many dozens or thousands or millions as you wish.

Our first meditation companions, for each of us, are the

sixty to one hundred trillion cells of our own bodies.

Creative Questions for an Awakening Life

(adapted from the work of Vijali Hamilton)

1.  What kinds of beautiful aliveness is life/Earth/the universe wanting to express through me and my unique life?  today…  this year…  this lifetime

2.  What stands in the way, both inside and outside of me, of my expressing more of that beautiful aliveness?

3.  How can I, and how will I, transform those opposing forces or situations, through a creative engagement which includes listening, dialogue, opening-to-learn-from and forgiveness?

4.  How can I, and how will I, nurture the beautiful aliveness growing in everyone? How will I participate in growing beyond war, and beyond the savage inequalities of our present world?

5.  How can I, and how will I, nurture the web of life that sustains us?  How will I participate in protecting the life of the Earth?

Deep Greeen Awakening
Twelve Vows in the Eternal Now 

1. REVERENCE FOR LIFE I open my heart and mind
to consider, delight in, protect and celebrate
the beauty, integrity and well-being
of all life-forms and natural systems:
people of all ages, kinds and races,
animals and plants, lands and seas, rivers and mountains,
which co-exist with me now and which will come after me
into the far future.  
These I take to be my kin,
expressions of the same Heart of Being,
the same Living Universe,
of which my life is an expression.
