Peace prayers

It has always been my belief that what we hold in our hearts and in our thoughts can make a difference to the world around us. It happens in a small way; we reflect our intentions on those close to us, and the energy ripples out. But sometimes it's good to 'think big' and focus on a bigger picture.

So how about saying a prayer for World Peace? Like this one, for example:

"We have complete and total faith that the universe is showering the Earth in Peace"

Take a moment to say the words, think them and send them out into the Universe. As part of the Etsy World Peace Prayer Team, this is what I say when I receive a 'prayer request'. A group of us on Etsy offer a peace prayer for 20 cents. The 20c covers the cost of listing the prayer and so in fact no profit is made. When someone purchases a prayer, sellers normally send out a pdf photo or sometimes something else in return. But more importantly, a message goes out to all of us in the team and we stop what we are doing and say this simple prayer. It is a growing circle; like the ripples I spoke of.

Here are a few examples offered by members. There are gorgeous photos by Maia Art here and here; while Shulamite offers one of Kwan Yin, goddess of compassion. Check out this one from Honeyteastudio while Rosebud generously offers a lampwork bead!

As for me - well I offer a pic of His Holiness the Dalai Lama (as shown above).

May all sentient beings live in peace. May peace prevail all over the world.
