With a focus on Mother Earth, we draw attention to a practice by Steven Charleston, a member of the Choctaw Nation and an Episcopal bishop.
In his book Ladder to the Light, Steven offers practices drawn from the meeting point of his Christian faith and Native American spirituality. The CAC posting HERE provides details on the approach including Steven’s plan:
“I am going to intentionally lay my hand on her {Mother Earth} and say, “Thank you, Mother, for all you have given us. Be healed of all that harms you.”
POSSIBLE ACTION: set aside 5-10 minutes today for a stroll outside. If so inspired, reach to some aspect of Mother Earth and say/think a little healing commentary/prayer. If you’re looking for an example, check out this 1-minute YouTube
PRAYER: Creator God, help us examine the natural beauty wherever we are, with corresponding prayers of WOW, praising our connectedness to you and seeking ways to heal your creations… Amen
Enjoy the day, filled with the Spirit
