&lt;p&gt;      I wrote the following for One Light Many Windows and share it here for it&amp;#39;s relevance of our studies and to a commitment to the 9:09 Gaia Minute.&lt;br /&gt;I have written this &lt;span style="font-weight: bold"&gt;Spiritual Mind Treatment&lt;/span&gt; (based on the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold"&gt;Science of Mind&lt;/span&gt; teachings of &lt;span style="font-weight: bold"&gt;Ernest Holmes&lt;/span&gt;, a metaphysical practice), which is a kind of &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic"&gt;contemplative prayer&lt;/span&gt;, for the use of any who resonant with it.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read it silently, or if your privacy allows, read it out loud.&amp;nbsp; As you become familiar with the words and concepts, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold"&gt;add your sincere &#8220;feelings&#8221; into the words&lt;/span&gt;.&amp;nbsp; They become an active principle that the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold"&gt;Law of Cause and Effect&lt;/span&gt; (Holmes term for the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold"&gt;Law of Attraction&lt;/span&gt;) uses as a mold and the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold"&gt;Divine Spirit &lt;/span&gt;does the work to reflect these thoughts in physical reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Humbly offered, &lt;br /&gt;in Peace &amp;amp; Blessings -&lt;br /&gt;Deb&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold"&gt;Harmonizing with our Mother Earth, Gaia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    There is a Divine Intelligence, aware of Itself, ever expanding infinitely with no boundary yet perceived.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;From this Divine Intelligence, All-That-Is has been conceived and created.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;This Father Spirit conceived a beautiful, blue planet and our Mother Earth, Gaia, was born.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;This Father-Mother, energy and matter, then began to conceive and birth a multitude of manifestations, of which all that we see &#8211; rock, water and air - are some.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;From such matter, sentient beings were then conceived.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;There is an orderly cycle of growth and reproduction; and this matter is recycled and reused, as food and new soil and in the creation of new manifestations, ever and ever unfolding, upon the Earth. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of the sentient beings, humans shine with a precious light.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Some shine in basic earthly ways, some shine in generosity or compassion of heart, some shine for they see not what is but what can be; and of those dreams, Spirit creates what all see.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Each human is like a drop in the ocean, each human is a cell upon our Mother, a child living loosely yet completely attached to her, while in the material form.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Though humans are a part of the Earth, the whole of Gaia is much, much more.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; Thus, m&lt;/span&gt;ore easily are we able to recognize that, we are part but not all; and yet, we share kinship with each and every aspect of our Mother, whether of solid matter, liquid water or invisible air, whether sentient or not. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, knowing that, as we join together in common intent, our increasing numbers tip the balance in favor of harmony, in our role as children of the Earth.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;There is an amplifying effect; requiring not a majority but only sufficient numbers, and when reached, all are elevated to that same state of understanding.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;In harmony, we now respect each aspect of our Mother, as an aspect of our own self, for truly it is so.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Our actions are guided by awareness and directed by Spirit; and as this becomes the desirable state of Being, we shine our light, and those whose lights do not yet shine as brightly are encouraged to allow more light to flow through them.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;As their own light increases, such becomes the common state of Being, until the whole Earth glows with such radiance, as to bring awe to every heart and mind. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, we reach deeper, deeper into our heart.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Our intentions in this prayer rippling out in the stillness of this NOW moment of no time or space; and those ripples overlap one another, and our prayer and intentions encompass the globe of our Mother Earth, Gaia, and it glows in the radiance of our heart energy.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;This energy is active and is an impulse that touches hearts and minds all around us with love for our Mother Earth, Gaia.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;We open our hearts even more, expanding their capacity to flow through Divine Love Healing Energies.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;We are here to give and receive LOVE.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, we let go and release these beautiful feelings of Love, Respect, Harmony and Appreciation for our Mother Earth, Gaia, and they do the work of Divine Love.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;We are conduits of vibrational energy for this work of the Divine and all of Gaia sings to feel such LOVE.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blessed Be these words to the fulfillment of their intentions.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Amen.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;And So It Is. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      The prayer above, was written on one of Siona&amp;#39;s question of the day, March 9&amp;#39;th, 2009......and felt it would be worthy on this group of prayers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bless &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      Thank you my Mother and my Father, for giving birth to the immortal life of Jesus&amp;#39; blood, to our structural on goings toward the difference of others whom cannot attain to, as of yet...this holy embrace of/to this love that ingests our beings of one-nes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Through such ugly times of afflictions, it can be very difficult to see why I am placed here on this earth.&amp;nbsp; Perhaps it just means that your love is already so ingrained within me, that shy&amp;#39;s away from at times, and I feel am so blinded by it&amp;#39;s radiance from.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your loving breath of passion on moving (and for ever giving) is, your strength I have so taken for granted within my procession here on earth, from time to time, and is what I have neglected of at times to be acquainted to, once more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Forgive me God, for my ignorance...for I am honored to proceed as thy humble servant, and to feel my blessed soul of your lights accompaniment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amen~ &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      T,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love this chant! And I especially love the little bit at the end--giving thanks that your loved ones are doing the shopping today. I am gratful for that today also. It is indeed a gift that frees us up to follow our inspirations, work on our intentions, and whatever we are moved to do. May what we HAVE to do become what we GET to do! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;:)&lt;br /&gt;mm&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      &lt;p&gt;What a beautiful prayer of thanksgiving...&amp;nbsp; I think I might print it out and frame it....&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Thank you!&lt;br /&gt;Here&amp;#39;s a prayer for reminders...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Earth teach me stillness as the grasses are stilled with light. &lt;br /&gt;Earth teach me suffering as old stones suffer with memory. &lt;br /&gt;Earth teach me humility as blossoms are humble with beginning. &lt;br /&gt;Earth teach me caring as the mother who secures her young. &lt;br /&gt;Earth teach me courage as the tree which stands alone. &lt;br /&gt;Earth teach me limitation as the ant which crawls on the ground. &lt;br /&gt;Earth teach me freedom as the eagle which soars in the sky. &lt;br /&gt;Earth teach me resignation as the leaves which die in the fall. &lt;br /&gt;Earth teach me regeneration as the seed which rises in the spring. &lt;br /&gt;Earth teach me to forget myself as melted snow forgets its life. &lt;br /&gt;Earth teach me to remember kindness as dry fields weep in the rain.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;~ Ute Prayer&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
