Refrain:
[After all,] we’re still here, so pass the cheer!
And leave that glass of fear behind!
Come on, get up, and fill that cup
With Love, the sweetest wine of life!
1. We can be sad, complain, and spread the pain,
But no one wants to know.
It’s all because they’re just like us
And rather Spirit’s flow!
Refrain:
2. Whatever hurt and doubt we’re pouring out
Ferments and rots, you see.
The fruit of Life is Love and Light,
So let it blossom free!
Refrain:
3. All the world’s fruits we bear cannot compare
With what the Spirit brews!
So lift your glass, this too shall pass,
And quench your thirst with Truth!
Refrain: (Twice)
Come on, get up, and fill your cup
With Love, the Spirit’s wine of life!

1. Hear the whisper in the dark
Lead your mind to move apart
From the thoughts, routine and cold
To the Truth within your soul.
Bring the Light, for you are whole!
2. Feel the candle make a spark
In your sad and lonely heart,
Hope inspiring night and day,
Shining on the path you take.
Bring the Light, and come awake!
3. See your image that appears.
Know your doubts and pain and fears.
Give them all to God inside;
Free yourself and open wide.
Bring the Light, o precious child!
4. And be the whisper in the dark.
Be the candle, make a spark.
Be a mirror of the soul,
And reflect the Spirit bold.
Bring the Light, for you are whole!
One in Spirit, you are whole!
Bring the Light, for you are whole!
1. On earth and sea and in the sky,
We live and move and breathe.
Yet taking from them as we do,
We separate the three.
The Tree of Life and all its limbs
Are rooted in the Deep
Creative Mind where all abides,
Including you and me.
Refrain:
2. The body, mind and spirit,
Your holistic sacred three,
Yet even as we care for them,
We look at specialties.
The body of the physical,
The mind’s activity,
The precious soul that’s yours alone
And makes your life complete.
Refrain:
3. The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
The Christian Trinity,
Yet who they are and what they do,
Not everyone agrees.
If we would look inside and trust,
Then we might plainly see
The greatness of the boundless Love
That brings it all to be.
Refrain:
O keep in mind the oneness link
Connecting every part.
Refrain:
We specialize and criticize,
Just knowing one small piece.
We label, compartmentalize,
And work to find relief.
But there’s a kink in what we think
And every box we mark.
We fast forget the oneness link
Connecting every part.

1. Knowledge is amazing,
And the mind is like a sponge.
It soaks up information
Every time we take a plunge.
But knowledge, it is meaningless
Without the One True Guide.
So let a greater Mind than this
Direct the learning tide!
Refrain:
2. The work we do is critical;
We have a purpose here.
And when we give our very best,
Success is always near.
But we are not machines to push
For games and greed and guile.
O may we serve the Universe
And touch the inner sky!
Refrain:
3. We’re dressing up and acting out
Without the Star of Love.
The curtain’s closed, and all is dark.
Then shines a Light above!
The part we play on any stage,
This whole identity,
Is fleeting till we claim the Truth
And let It set us free!
Refrain:
Releasing pain and fear
To fill us with the Light!
Refrain:
‘Cause the truth we tell is fact,
but black and white make grey.
There’s more to us than that;
O let us find the Way!
Eternal Love so clear
Is burning deep inside,
Releasing pain and fear
To fill us with the Light!
1. A carefree place to go and play,
A peaceful spot to watch and pray.
The beach so full of ebb and flow
Reminds us of the Truth we know.
Refrain 1:
And when you touch the shells,
Remember all is well.
O hear the sea inside
And deep within your mind.
It’s flowing free and long and strong,
The oneness of the sea in song.
2. The shells that we collect and keep,
We think are beautiful to see.
So many shapes and colored hues,
But none more beautiful than you.
Refrain 1:
3. And when we go back home to live,
We take along the sandy sieve.
Releasing all the thoughts that bind
To cleansing tides of heart and mind.
Refrain 2:
No need to touch the shells
To know that all is well.
The sea of Life inside
Is calm within your mind.
It’s flowing free and long and strong,
The oneness that is you in song.
Why not sit down with some cookies and a cup of coffee, tea or cocoa for this one? Eat, drink, and be meditative. Who says it can’t be fun? 🙂

1. Baking yummy cookies, takes a lot of time.
Mixing up ingredients, and measuring just right,
Rolling out and thinning dough, and smoothing all the lumps,
Pressing down the cutters, making sure they don’t get stuck.
Refrain:
2. Cookies are a harvest, of patience, love and faith.
Effort is rewarded, with sweets to give and take.
Gobbled up so quickly, or savored nice and slow,
Every single cookie says, we’re made with love to show.
Refrain:
3. Sometimes there are cookies, we say aren’t good enough,
Maybe burnt or broken, maybe hard or rough.
Though every one is different, they are cookies just the same,
Some unique and special treat, a blessing to create.
Refrain:
Like those cookies, each of us is better for the storm.
Refrain:
Eat your cookies, with a thankful heart.
Eat your cookies, let them do their part
To show that love is always there, it’s just in different forms.
It’s mixed and rolled and baked and iced, for cookies soft and warm.
And like those cookies, each of us is better for the storm.

Refrain:
[And] may your work be a labor of love.
May you serve the Father in peace.
So on Earth as in Heaven above,
Giving thanks while planting the seeds.
1. Take heart, take heart,
And do your part
To plant the fertile ground.
He knows, He knows
Where water flows
And ready soil abounds.
Refrain:
2. You ask, you ask
And do the task
That God has planned for you.
He lives, He lives
And through you gives
The harvest of good fruit.
Refrain:
3. Each day, each day
You go your way.
O take the path of Light.
And do, and do
Your labor true
With heart and soul and mind.
Refrain:
4. You see, you see
The tiny seed
With miracles inside.
It grows, it grows,
It flow’rs and shows
The blooming of a life.
Refrain:
This is a self-blessing song, inspired by blessing and Chakra-cleansing rituals. Authors include Z Budapest, Diane Stein, and Dianne Sylvan. But while those are Goddess/woman-centered, this song is for everyone. It is my own interpretation and uses only the same body points as these rituals.
You could do this as a meditation any time, as a song, poem, or however it fits into your spiritual practice. It could be a weekly, monthly, New or Full Moon, or celebration ritual. It is most important to be mindful whenever and wherever you do any meditation – simply performing a ritual or routine practice doesn’t make you more aware in itself.

A meditational prayer chant/treatment. Healing is not the result of the music or even the treatment itself, but of connecting with the God-Presence within you. It is the God-Presence alone that does the healing.
