surrender

Spaciousness, suppleness, surrender: a dynamic trio of blessing.

Prayer Connecting Heaven and Earth

Part of my regular prayer practice includes a movement of prostration. There are three parts to the movement. Standing shoulder width apart, I raise my arms up toward the heavens and say, “May I be spacious.” As I say the blessing, I open myself to the fullest possible meaning and scope—may I be wide-open, even out to the cosmos.

Topics: Chant, Contemplative Practice
