June 21, 2011—Tyler Ray Nichols Day
Today we come together to focus our attention on Tyler Ray Nichols who passed on June 21, 2008.
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 Tyler, 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 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 Tyler
standing in the light before you
As you breathe-out, envision Tyler looking vibrant and well
As you inhale, envision drawing energy into you
As you exhale envision directing that energy to Tyler
As you inhale continue to visualize energy entering into you
As you exhale see this energy flowing outward from you and surrounding Tyler
Bathing him in light and loving energy
See him surrounded by energy
See him smiling
See him laughing
See that Tyler is 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 Tyler’s family
As you breathe-in draw peace into yourself
As you exhale send that feeling of peace to Tyler’s family
Dear Tyler, 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 Tyler. We love you, The Prayer Team.
Dear Tyler and Family: I pray you will feel all the prayers and be lifted in spirit. We miss them dearly but faith, prayer, time, and knowing we will see them again is the only thing to hold too. But know that they are near to us in spirit.

Charles’ Mom
Thank you Carla, I find it easy to lift others in prayer, but when it comes to the anniversary of my son’s death, I find it hard to focus and I do pray, but the emotions well up inside as only another mother knows and we don’t want it to be another year, we don’t want it to be a second. Thank you so much for your prayer and words of encouragement.
I send out my prayers to Tyler parents , family and friends , may you find the strengh on such a difficult day . Our kids are always with us in our hearts and in spirit and we will see them again . Its very hard to live without the most precious person in our lives but unfortunately there is nothing we can do . I lost my only 20 year old son 3 years this coming 27th July , i find it very hard to cope , im completely on my own and im still alive , but i know deep inside me that he gives me the strengh to carry on for his memory . Peace and Love . Maty Chris mum
Maty,Thank you so much for your prayer and words of encouragement. I find great comfort knowing that prayers are being lifted for me and my family during this time because God is definitely carrying us through our difficult days, like this anniversary.
Sending warm thoughts, prayers and a hug on this day to Tyler and family. So hard for those who never lost a child to understand the myriad of emotions one feels. Most intensely are the empty arms that can never be filled with anything else. Holding you up this day with good thoughts.

These anniversary days can be difficult, and our heart knows w/o even looking at the calendar that they are nearing. May peaceful angels surround you and assure you that Tyler is in God’s care and may you always be open to those little signs your loved one sends you.

With so much love in our hearts we send prayers for your well being on the other side. Tyler, you are being loved right now by all of us and by your family. Feel the love and know that love is forever and that one day we will be there too. Then you can take your family by the hand and lead them.
Much Love TY,
Sheri, Danny’s mom
Sheri, I have been praying for others daily and this is such a worthy a cause. I cannot tell you how good it was to open my laptop, check my e-mail, and see all of these prayers posted for me and my family. It gave me a lot of comfort knowing that even though another year has passed by without my son, there are many who can truly understand and know exactly what to say and what to pray to help us get through days like this. Thanks is not enough! Sincerely, Tonya ❤
I thank all of you because without everyone there wouldn’t be a prayer team. And realize that only a few people write in on this page. We are over 240 strong and growing. The energy from all the prayers is incredible. I know it will help me come July 1 and I am so grateful for it!
Much Love to all
Sheri, Danny’s mom
