Our Mother Prayer
"Our Mother Who are on Earth, hallowed be Thy Name, Thy Kingdom come, , that will be done, To us as we do to Thee, As Thow sendest every day Thy Angels of Water, Air and Light, send Them to our bodies also, and lead us not into sickness but deliver us from evil, for Thine is the Earth, the Body and the Health. Amen "
What I call my "bio-spiritual awakening" has shaped who I am and defined much of my work in art and music.I became very ill in my twenties and I found very quickly that my doctors or doctors in the emergency departments could not help me. Through my own research, I cured my self with fasting, diet and natural remedies. It was a profound experience for me. It was an initiation into the experience of the connection between how we treat our bodies with the food we eat and the thoughts we think. On my journey at the same time I came across a book called The Essene Book of Peace written by the Essenes who were the Jewish sect that Jesus grew up in. I found out that Mother Mary was their spiritual leader. The Essenes wrote the "Our Father" prayer which is a prayer still recited by billions, but what was left out was the "Our Mother" prayer. This beautiful prayer has helped me stay connected to the spirit of Divinity in form of art and music. I am now in my fifties and I am still healthier than I was in my early twenties. I realized that divinity lives right here in our bodies, the earth and even in the food that Mother Earth provides our bodies. I was initiated into many spiritual experiences that shaped my world view and lead me to study Transpersonal Psychotherapy. I realized especially when my daughter was born that life is inherently spiritual, especially if you want to be a good parent. I learned much from my beautiful emotionally intelligent daughter. When I found the prayer I also found a 20 inch statue of Mother Mary with a 1916 date underneath. This object seemed to have energy attached to it as if many prayers had been recited in its presence. The day I brought my daughter home from hospital I had an out of body experience where my light body floated over to my dresser and my Mother Mary statute came alive, walked to the edge of the dresser and gave me a blessing as a new mother. Motherhood was the greatest learning experience for me and my connection to the Divine Mother continues to inform my work. I now pass on the Divine Mother"s blessing through my work. I also believe in the power of music to help us access our inherent joy as human being.
