A Few Changes to the Daily Zoom Prayers

It has been a little more than a year I have spent leading daily healing prayers for the planet… and for Dharma and right action. It has been a meaningful time of spiritual growth and expansion.

There is a deep flow of grace as we pray together… As Jesus said, “Where two or more are gathered in my name, there I am in the midst of them.” 

The feeling of God’s presence grows as we do the preparatory practices before prayer… And then  Divine Mother’s grace flows through us as we send love, gratitude and healing toward all aspects of nature.  And then we follow with deep prayer for Dharma in individuals and nations, etc. Some days there is a profound flow of grace – but we may never know where that energy was used that day.  Could it be that it helped someone make a good decision that would help many people? Sometimes it feels that way, but we may never know… It is our joy to send the Light and to know it is helping in some way.

We send prayers for individuals directly after the prayers for the planet…and these have also been deeply meaningful and helpful to those receiving them. I often encourage people to use the prayer link to request prayers for the next 30 days if they are trying to heal something serious or chronic.

This quote has become deeply meaningful to me over the past many months, as we pray in this expansive manner:

“Self-realization is the knowing – in body, mind, and soul – that we are one with the omnipresence of God; that we do not have to pray that it come to us, that we are not merely near it at all times, but that God’s omnipresence is our omnipresence; that we are just as much a part of Him now as we ever will be. All we have to do is improve our knowing. — Paramhansa Yogananda

NOTE  – Next month I will be traveling from December 3-13.  I will be visiting my parents, John and Anne Hostage in Nashua, NH. They are ages 95 and 93. Sadly, I have not seen them in three years due to covid and the previous mask requirements on airplanes (I had a difficult time breathing after wearing a mask even for a short while; I could not imagine wearing a mask for the 8-9 hours on a plane. I am grateful those requirements s have been lifted.)   Please keep my parents in your prayers… They are still living independently – but my mother has multiple myeloma. Recently she sounds very good on the phone. We talk frequently and that has helped with this time of separation… Thank you so much…

I will still be able to check my email and send out prayer requests while I am away. But I will have to cut way back on some or all of the zoom prayers while I am away. For now – please consider them canceled… But if I come up with a creative way to do some of them I will send out another short blog closer to that time…

I will also be enjoying Satsang with the devotees in Ananda Maine and New Hampshire on my last weekend there – December 10 and 11.  If you live in the area, please join us!
