On Sunday, you will be invited to participate in and even write your own breath prayer!
Here's a word on prayer that has been on my mind a lot lately. I find it both challenging and freeing.
Here's Dr. Rachel Naomi Remen ...
Perhaps prayer is not a way to get what we want to happen. I think prayer may be less about asking for the things we are attached to than it is about letting go of our attachments in some way. Prayer can take us beyond fear, which is an attachment, and beyond hope, which is another form of attachment. It can help us remember the nature of the world and the nature of life, not on an intellectual level, but in a deep and experiential way. When we pray we don’t change the world, we change ourselves. We change our consciousness. We move from an individual, isolated, making-things-happen kind of consciousness to an intimate connection with the Mystery at the heart of the world.
