How can we define a Prayer Prescription?

Published by under prayer prescriptions

Welcome to day 13 of my Virtual Book Tour. Lawrence Ball was scheduled to interview me on Blog Talk Radio, but our wires got crossed. Lawrence lives in the UK and I live in Pennsylvania.

But, not to worry. I rambled on for 50 minutes, talking about Prayer Prescriptions, and what that may mean to you.

How can we define a Prayer Prescription? What works for me may not work for you. So making a philosophy, a doctrine or a dogma from this body of work is fruitless.

We go with the flow, and discuss, experience and live the full meaning of what a Prayer Prescription is. Pearl joined in the fun, as well!!

Enjoy!!

Pearl reminds me of the little white dog in the Taro card, The Fool.

Published by under Uncategorized

Dear Goddess, I got Pearl a nifty pink harness today, and we took a 3 mile walk in the park.  I woke her up to take the picture that is on the blog today. She looks a little sleepy, for sure.

We went to the pet store to buy the pink harness, and there was a scale there and we weighed her. She is 41 pounds.

How is this possible? She looks exactly the same as she did the day we got her from Tennessee. There’s only one difference. It is almost  impossible to lift her up. She is longer and taller, and has the same proportions as she always had. She is six months old. She might end up being a 60 pound dog.

Maybe Pearl is a magician. She reminds me of the little white dog in the Taro card, The Fool. She takes the leap of faith right alongside the rest of us. I probably could have taken a few more leaps of faith in my lifetime, but there is no time like the present to begin.

What is your leap of faith today? Getting Pearl was a leap of faith. People tell me I am lucky because she is such a good dog. But that’s not the way it works. Ulysses and Mukunda chose Pearl for our family. That’s not luck, that is destiny.

Om Peace Amen

I Just Found Out A Book I Contributed To Is Officially Published!!

Published by under Uncategorized

Dear Goddess, The thought of retiring from the profession of nursing makes me wonder about my identity.

To identify oneself with any profession feels like a losing proposition. Change is in the air. One week you are firmly entrenched in doing one thing and the next week everything changes. Or the next day. The next minute.

Is that the way of 2012?

Life is all about change. But change seems to be happening more than ever before. It is hard to feel secure and restful and calm when everything is in turmoil  everywhere you look.

Is this true? Is everything really in turmoil? Or is  the change happening rapidly within myself?

Probably a little bit of both.

But in this moment, I am sitting on the bank of the Conestoga River with Pearl. She is leisurely chewing upon a stick. She seems to prefer sticks over balls. She chewed up my glasses again for a second time this morning. I couldn’t be mad at her for too long.

Right here, right now, we are hanging out and enjoying the setting sun. The birds are preparing for their night of sleep. I am taking a break from housecleaning.

It is a cool day here. Yet Springtime is upon us. My virtual book tour is in full swing. In the not too distant future, my book will be published on Amazon.

Have I always wanted to be an author? So many authors say that being an author is their dearest dream.

My dearest dream is to do exactly what I want to do whenever I want to do it. Read, write, play with Pearl, and be spontaneously led in an inspired direction all the time.

I don’t need to be labeled an author, a nurse, or anything else.

I just want to be free.

Om Peace Amen

Soon after writing this post, I a kindle book I contributed to was published, and I am now a Published Author!! Get It Here!!

Prayer Prescriptions Virtual Book Tour

Day 9 Of The Prayer Prescriptions Virtual Book Tour

Joan Adams interviewed me today on day number nine of the virtual book tour for Prayer Prescriptions: Spiritual Remedies For Long Lasting Health.

Joan and I have known each other a long time online. Three years ago I went to her family reunion in South Carolina. I cannot believe it’s been that long, already.

We focus on the virtual book tour on our interview today. We cover the basics when it comes to a virtual book tour, but I highly recommend studying this modality in detail with Devorah Lansky, author of Book Marketing Made Easy. She is known as the Marketing Wizard on Twitter and elsewhere on the Internet.

In-Joy the video and Radio Interview, today!

At sunrise, the faces of most sunflowers are turned towards the east.

Published by under Uncategorized

Dear Goddess, Nature Spirits whisper
to us as we stand by the mighty locust
tree, hike up a mountain pathway, or stand
amidst a Sunflower garden at Summer’s
end.

At sunrise, the faces of most sunflowers are turned towards the east. Over the course of the day, they follow the sun from east to west, while at night they return to an eastward orientation.

I did not know this about the sunflower.

This summer, I plan to take a day and hang out with the sunflowers I will plant, and notice the way they follow the sun. This and hanging out with the evening Primrose who pops out a bloom at evening tide.

These thoughts are soothing in light of all the goings on in the world.

I believe in Benevolent Spirits, like the sunflower facing east as the sun rises over the horizon, accompanied by birdsong of early morning. We owe it to our continuing health to immerse ourselves in this energy.

Now and Forever.

Om Peace Amen

Nature itself is a Prayer Prescription.

Published by under Uncategorized

Dear Goddess, Yesterday I heard Pearl growl for the first time. Her friend Gandalf growls to express himself, too. So did Ulysses. Pearl has joined the growler’s club.

Gandalf is Samantha’s dog. Both Gandalf and Samantha are pictured on this prayer blog, today. This picture could win an award. Or many awards. It thoroughly captures the relationship that human has with dog.

And what is that relationship? According to a recently published book, Your Dog Is Your Mirror, dogs are closer to humans than any other animal.

It is a joy to watch Pearl warm up to Tom and me. She knew how to do that immediately. Every day she gets better at it. She communicates telepathically. She stares directly into our soul. She still has her wild periods. But that is what being a puppy is all about

I tried to take a picture of Pearl yesterday evening. But she was moving too fast for me. The river was gorgeous. The moon was reflected on the water. The waterfowl were flying here and there, telling us their story.

Nature itself is a Prayer Prescription. It is constantly moving and changing. It reflects your deepest yearnings as it brings you back to the here and now!

Perhaps we all need to growl every now and again, to get our point across!
Om Peace Amen

Day 7 Of The Prayer Prescription Virtual Book Tour–Prayer Prescriptions

Published by under Uncategorized

Day 7 Of The Prayer Prescription Virtual Book Tour

Today, Mal Duane interviews me on a teleconference. The link to that is right underneath this post and video. Mal is the author of the book, Alpha Chick, which is an Amazon bestseller.

Prayer is a recovery tool for all recovering addicts. Obviously, it is a tool for everyone else, too. It is often said in recovery circles, prayer is you talking to God, and meditation is God talking to you.

One of the first things a person does when they no longer can stand their addiction, it is to say, please help me God.

Please help me God. Those are powerful words and they change lives.

Either the answer comes immediately and smacks you right in the face, or it comes in subtle ways over a week or month. The question is, are you ready to heed the call? Are you sober enough to recognize the call when it presents itself to you?

Prayer heals. Prayer transforms. Prayer Prescriptions: Spiritual Remedies For Long Lasting Health, is a book I have written which will soon be published in May. It is a book to help you get into the feeling of prayer. Its purpose is to bring you peace of mind as you read the words.

Another purpose is to help you establish your own prayer practice, if you haven’t already done so. Or to help you strengthen the prayer practice you already have.

The teleseminar is at 12 noon but the replay is also available on the link underneath this post.

Namaste!

I AM That I AM

Published by under Uncategorized

Dear Goddess, Over the weekend, I began reading Wayne Dyer’s book, Wishes Fulfilled. He mentions something I’ve been very interested in for a long time, called the I AM meditation.

I AM that.

I  AM that  I AM.

I AM is another word for divinity, God, Goddess, all that is.

When Moses first met God in the burning bush, he said,”Here I AM !”

And God was well pleased.

Apparently Moses said the right thing to God.

The part about Moses and the I AM, is in a book called the Moses Code by James Twyman. That is a book that Wayne Dyer recommends in his book, Wishes Fulfilled.

Wayne Dyer suggests that we monitor our thinking, in particular the I AM statements that we make to ourselves.

I AM the light of the world, I AM love, I AM Joy, I AM patience, and I AM eternal spring.

Last night at work, I heard I am statements that included: I am a loser, I will never get my act together, I am getting too old for this,. I am really pissed off at him.

If all we did was monitor our I AM statements that we say to ourselves on a continual basis, we would have everything we ever  wanted in this lifetime.

Most importantly, we would know God.

Om Peace Amen

Allow prayer to open your hearts to all that is possible.

Published by under Uncategorized

Dear Goddess,  When we incorporate prayer into our daily practice, we can visualize ourselves as a clearing station for every problem and challenge in the physical world. We can see ourselves as a receptacle for God’s undying love.

Has anybody seen those pictures of Jesus and all the saints with open arms and eyes upraised to the heavens? Those  eyes are literally looking towards the third eye in spiritual terms. Not only are the arms of the saints open, but the whole body is in an open position. Open to receive. Open to transmit. A giving and receiving station.

Ordinary humans shy away from looking at themselves as Saint. But as we transform our ordinary consciousness to the extra ordinary, sainthood is not that far away.

So let us stop playing small. Allow prayer to open your hearts to all that is possible.

That is my Prayer Prescription for today.

Om Peace Amen
