We acknowledge our debt to the sources of life in our culture- our family, our spiritual tradition, our country, people who have loved us, people who have hurt us. . We acknowledge the many gifts recieved and vow to care for them and make them stronger for future generations; we acknowledge ways in which we were wounded and vow to work to heal the wounds.
A meditation to calm and care for our entire body.
A simple meditation to help us calm ourselves and maintain our sovereignty when we are angry, sad, afraid.
"When we begin to understand that we are
everything, our fear begins to disappear.  We have deeply touched the dimensions of space and time. But to really be free of fear, we must look deeply into the ultimate dimension of no birth, no death.  We need to free ourselves from these ideas that we are our body, and that we die.  This is where we will discover the place of no fear. Here is a guided meditation to help you prepare for it."
