Alongside and
partly thanks to my studies I have dealt with my discomfort with the word prayer. I always thought that you had to believe in a
recognised God-figure in
order to pray. I didn’t have a God-figure
and so I thought that even crossing my fingers or saying “oh my god” was
hypocritical. Praying was out of the
question for me.
Since being at
the Ashram, it has dawned on me that I have actually
been praying since I went to Gaia House for the first 5 days of December 2011. Loving Kindness meditation is prayer because in order to send
peace, love and compassion to others I am communing with a greater force …the atomic
vibrations (bear with me) which constitute the common consciousness (The force
of Nature).
So there we have
it, for me at least, God is Nature (something I was reliably informed of years ago on
a flight to Dubai) and regardless of religion we are all capeable of being thankful and compassionate
…and that is all there really is to it! |

NB – If anyone
reading this used to sweat their nights out with me at the H@cienda in the 90s
…did you ever think you’d see the day that I publically extoled the virtues of
prayer? …she’s still full of surprises! ;) x
