A Prayer a Day

12/16/10

We get what you give.

A simple statement we have all heard before.

Staying conscious of the quality and the content
of the energies we put out into this world
is an essential part of any spiritual practice.

At times what we give and what is

returned to us can be so very subtle.

What and how we think reflects out and

back to us in ways we do not even know.

  Every gesture holds a message.

Every tone of voice vibrates specific signals.

There is a universal language in our eyes and in our hands.

Each of us is constantly communicating,

even when we think we are saying nothing.

And there is in us the perfect receptors for the truth.

Some part of our awareness is always tuned in.

We are capable of reading each other

 in astonishingly accurate ways.

 Bodies vibe each other even when

personalities are not paying attention.

Bodies can detect vibrations that

feel good and those that do not,

as energies meet energies

and hearts meet hearts.

We know that our minds do create interference and static,

so focused attention is helpful in the art of giving and receiving.

Today I pray we intentionally give

the very things we wish to receive... with open hearts.

And may we know that the key to giving

is expecting nothing but to simply

give for its own sake.

Life has a way of returning to us her graces

in forms that are meant to be and often
 far greater than what we imagine.

May the messages we send to
each other this day be nurturing.

Listening,

Rev. Mudra
