poetry | prayer | mantra

Poetry is the perfect companion to any meditation practice. It has a unique and innate ability to slow down time and connect us to the fabric of life. 

Looking to add a new dimension to a meditation or reflection practice? You might consider incorporating a poem, prayer or mantra in your next session.

Traditionally, a mantra is a “word, sound, or phrase repeated to aid in your concentration while meditating.” 

Mantra repetition is practiced for a state of peace and calm - to relax and ground action and intention. This elimination or absence of the negative can dramatically encourage overall wellbeing.

A mantra can inspire, motivate, center, and focus - an approach tolife from a more level-headed perspective. A mantra is a private practice to apply any way you want - the possibilities are endless. 

Live purposefully - health, healing, happiness, self-love, balance in a specific area of your life, writing inspiration - an unfoldment that goes on and on.

Pentecost Prayers

Pentecost is a feast celebrated by many Christian denominations. It commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ while they were in Jerusalem celebrating the Feast of Weeks, as described in the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 2:1–31).

The term Pentecost comes from the Greek Πεντηκοστή (Pentēkostē) meaning "fiftieth". It refers to the Jewish festival celebrated on the fiftieth day after First Fruits, also known as the "Feast of Weeks"[i] and the "Feast of 50 days" in rabbinic tradition.
