Earth Prayers

Mother, Father, God, Universal Power.
       Remind us daily of the
                    sanctity of all life.
 
      Touch our hearts with the
            glorious oneness of all creation,
      As we strive to respect all
          the living beings on this planet.

             Penetrate our souls with
                     the beauty of this earth,
             As we attune ourselves to the
                rhythm and flow of the seasons.

             Awaken our mind with the knowledge
                to achieve a world in perfect harmony.

              And grant us the wisdom to realize
                that we can have heaven on earth.

Gratitude to the Earth

My feet touched the earth.  Accepting them warmly, the earth embraced my soul.  I walked on the earth in silence, and the earth was in peace.

The earth always welcomes us tenderly, without uttering a word.  Always, the earth embraces us in silence.  Even if trodden upon, hurt, or polluted, the earth never tries to say anything, never tries to take revenge.  The earth only gives.  In heartfelt gratitude I touch the earth and become as the earth.  Oh, beloved earth - on behalf of all humanity I thank you..

Re: Earth Prayers

To have such a love, as Mother Earth gives to us her gift of such bounty,
I will be on my knees for our Mother…to bow in her Grace of such a loved force.
To all the shyzta on it, will be my tears and a prayer for forgiveness to her and towards a better kindness and to all healings involved.

Amen

The world before me is restored in beauty
The world behind me is restored in beauty
The world below me is restored in beauty
The world above me is restored in beauty
All things around me are restored in beauty
My voice is restored in beauty
It is finished in beauty
It is finished in beauty
It is finished in beauty

Thanksgiving Prayer

We return thanks to our mother, the earth, which sustains us.

Re: Earth Prayers

What a beautiful prayer of thanksgiving…  I think I might print it out and frame it….   Thank you!
Here's a prayer for reminders…

Earth teach me stillness as the grasses are stilled with light.
Earth teach me suffering as old stones suffer with memory.
Earth teach me humility as blossoms are humble with beginning.
Earth teach me caring as the mother who secures her young.
Earth teach me courage as the tree which stands alone.
Earth teach me limitation as the ant which crawls on the ground.
Earth teach me freedom as the eagle which soars in the sky.
Earth teach me resignation as the leaves which die in the fall.
Earth teach me regeneration as the seed which rises in the spring.
Earth teach me to forget myself as melted snow forgets its life.
Earth teach me to remember kindness as dry fields weep in the rain.

Rhythm of the Earth heal my body

Rhythm of the wind clear my mind

Rhythm of the sun, heal my soul

Rhythm of the Universe, come into my heart
Rhythm of the Universe, make my body whole
Rhythm of the Universe, focus my mind
Rhythm of the Universe, move my soul


In gratitude for my life and the sun and the clear skies that are blessing my day and to my husband and son who are doing the shopping….

Re: Earth Prayers

T,

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!

Re: Earth Prayers

Thank you my Mother and my Father, for giving birth to the immortal life of Jesus' 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.

Through such ugly times of afflictions, it can be very difficult to see why I am placed here on this earth.  Perhaps it just means that your love is already so ingrained within me, that shy's away from at times, and I feel am so blinded by it's radiance from.

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.

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.

Amen~
