What is Your Heart's Prayer?

What is Your Heart’s Prayer?

Yesterday I received this quote from Robert Holden and it moved me so much I want to share it and explore it with you.

“There is a prayer that lives in the center of your heart. If you pray it, it will change your life. How does it begin?”

My prayer is “I love you. Thank You.”

The theme of love in all its many nuances has been at the centre of my life’s journey. I was not surprised when I found through a hand analysis that my life school is love. I came here to major in love and that’s what I’ve done.

I finally realized a couple of years ago that the only love that really matters is self love. I do see self love as a prayer of gratitude. I believe God created all of us and to turn up our noses at the beauty of God’s creation is really blasphemy.

However, our egos teach us we have to do something to deserve love. The ego also tricks us and has us believe that we could lose love based on our behaviours or our appearance or whether we are ‘good’ enough.

So my prayer “I love you. Thank You”, did change my life. It led me to listen to my heart and to help others do the same. It’s my mantra when I make a mistake or doubt myself. I use it when I notice myself judging others or making them wrong. It takes me back to my heart and to the feeling of love for whatever is happening.

Thank you is also for everything. Everything is always perfect even when our ego minds want us to believe it’s a problem, large or small. My trust in love and appreciation makes me kinder to myself and everyone else. It frees me to be unattached to outcomes and keeps me in a state of peace that is beyond anything I’ve ever experienced.

I find my coaching clients resonate with this prayer and I believe that’s why they come to me for coaching. They recognize the Truth even when they haven’t heard it before. Those clients who don’t resonate with this prayer leave for another coach and that is perfect too, for the prayer is mine and those who share it with me. Others will have a different prayer, equally valid for them.

The crucial thing is to listen to your own prayer and let it guide and change your life. Live by it. Share it with others. I think the prayer is another guidepost to who we are and how we can best serve others.

What is your prayer?

I would love to hear from you if this prompted you to discover your prayer or reconnect with one you’ve known.
I’ll post this on my blog where we could have a discussion about our prayers. Here’s the site http://heartpowercoaching.blogspot.com/

You may recognize that my prayer is one half of the four prayers in Ho'oponopono, a Huna clearing tool. For more on Ho'oponopono go to http://www.zerolimits.com.

I am grateful for all you faithful readers and to the newer members of my newsletter list. For those of you in the US celebrating Thanksgiving, enjoy all your family and friends and the wonderful special meals you share.

To your heart health,
Rosemary

Hi Linda,
Thank you so much for commenting here. I love your life school!
I used to struggle trying to determine whether to pay attention to my heart or my head. Now I know the heart has its own brain.

That prayer is perfect for "Ms Not Enough". I bet God thought you were "More than Enough when you were created.

What's your life purpose? I bet you have spotlight somewhere in your hands and since I saw your profile I know you're an artist.

Thanks again. It's nice to meet you here and see your face.

Warmest regards,
Rosemary
