May 14, 2011—Michael Jules Sternberg Day
Today we come together to focus our attention on a very special Prayer Registry child, Michael Jules Sternberg.
Dear Prayer Giver,
Take a moment to sit down and bring all of your awareness into this sacred present moment. Allow your thoughts and cares of the day slip away from you now as you enter the present moment completely. Slowly take in a deep breath and slowly let the breath out; breathing in deeply and exhaling fully. And again, inhale slowly and exhale thoroughly.
As you read these words, take the time to really feel and think about what you are saying, for this is indeed a sacred moment. Dear Michael, We The Prayer Team, are with you now in thought and spirit. We send you energy and love from our souls to yours and we pray that you will all feel it and know how very loved you are.
Meditation/Visualization: —continue to sit comfortably and allow yourself to be here in the present moment, letting go of your cares and worries of the day.
Now, bring all of your attention to the tip of your nose and imagine that you are the gatekeeper at the gates of a big city and that it is your very important job to watch the coming and the going of your breath. Simply focus all your concentration at the tip of your nose and observe your breath as it enters and leaves you.
As you breathe-in focus on the feeling of the breath as it enters your nostrils
As you breathe-out focus on the feeling of the breath as it leaves your nostrils
Breathing-in feel the breath coming into you
Breathing-out feel the breath as it leaves you
Continue to focus on your breathing
If your mind wanders away going off into thought (which is common in meditation) gently bring your focus back to the tip of your nose and resume your position as gatekeeper, watching the coming and going of your breath
As you breathe-in feel the cool air as it enters your nostrils
As you breathe-out feel the warm air as it leaves your nostrils
Breathing-in cool, breathing-out warm
Breathing-in cool, breathing-out warm
In cool, out warm…in cool, out warm
Now as you breathe-in envision Michael
standing in the light before you
As you breathe-out envision Michael looking vibrant and well
As you inhale, envision drawing energy into you
As you exhale envision directing that energy to Michael
As you inhale continue to visualize energy entering into you
As you exhale see this energy flowing outward from you and surrounding Michael
Bathing him in light and loving energy
See him surrounded by energy
See him smiling
See him laughing
See that he is both happy and free
As you breathe-in feel that you are strengthened by this energy
As you breathe-out direct this feeling of strength to Michael’s family
As you breathe-in draw peace into yourself
As you exhale send that feeling of peace to Michael’s family
Dear Michael, we all see you smiling and glowing in the light. May you know that LOVE, the one universal sustaining force, is being sent to you right now and always will be. May you feel it and know that love is without end. You will always be loved and you will always be remembered. Love to you dear one. Peace be with you Michael. Know that we love you, The Prayer Team.
Heavenly Father,
I humbly come to you and pray that you will wrap the family, friends and community in a blanket of comfort as they reflect on the precious life you created and gave eternal life. I pray they will find peace knowing that this child of God is sitting at the feet of Jesus listening intently as he has all of his questions answered. I pray that the heavenly trumpets are playing a special song for him and the streets paved with gold lead him on beautiful, heavenly journeys. I pray the family will turn to you in their grief and allow you to carry them through these difficult days where they miss their precious child. I pray all these things in your heavenly name. Amen.
To Michael’s family and friends,
Sending hugs and prayers to you today, Michael’s angel day, hoping that the day is gentle for you and your memories are happy ones. I know how difficult these days are to get through. My heart to yours,
Debbie,
Mom to ^i^Joey,
