Guided Meditation

Let us still our minds

And be in quiet peace

With that all pervading spirit of love

            That moves through this room

            And through each of us.

Let us feel the gentle, calming touch of the holy

            And feel at home in ourselves

            Comfortable in our chairs

            Comfortable in our bodies

            Breathing lightly

Like a soft breeze

Our thoughts extend beyond ourselves

To touch with compassion

            Every soul in this room

            Comforting any silent pain

            binding all wounds

            Encouraging each anxious spirit

Extending further beyond this sanctuary

Into the neighborhood, our city, and beyond

We find we have gifts overflowing

            To care for all the suffering

            To love all the lonely

            To heal all the hurting

            To strengthen and the weak

Every person that receives our attention

            Feels new life and hope

Every place that receives our notice

            Begins to manifest a brighter future.

Our thoughts bestow blessings

Our dreams of peace begin to come true

Now we rest, for a moment

            In the peace of this room

            In the peace of our hearts

            In the promise of this day

            In the power of our love.
