July 11, 2011—Whitney Healy Smith Day
Today we come together to focus our attention on a very special Prayer Registry child, Whitney Healy Smith.
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 Whitney, 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 Whitney
standing in the light before you
As you breathe-out envision Whitney looking vibrant and well
As you inhale envision drawing energy into you
As you exhale envision directing that energy to Whitney
As you inhale continue to visualize energy entering into you
As you exhale see this energy flowing outward from you and surrounding Whitney
Bathing her in light and loving energy
See her surrounded by energy
See her smiling
See her laughing
See that she 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 Whitney’s family
As you breathe-in draw peace into yourself
As you exhale send that feeling of peace to Whitney’s family.
Dear Whitney, 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 Whitney. Know that we love you, The Prayer Team.
Beautiful Whitney, feel the love from all of us and know that love never ends. I pray for your well being on the other side and for your family here who miss you.
May love and light surround all of you on this day.
Sheri, Danny’s mom
IF I HAD KNOWN THAT YOU WERE LEAVING
I WOULD HAVE HELD YOU A MOMENT MORE
I WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU HOW MUCH I LOVED YOU
BEFORE YOU LEFT TO WALK OUT THE DOOR
IF I HAD KNOWN YOU WERE LEAVING NEVER AGAIN TO SEE YOUR SWEET SMILE
I WOULD HAVE TRACED YOUR LIPS WITH MY FINGERS
TO KEEP IN MY MEMORY MORE THAN AWHILE
IF I HAD KNOWN THAT YOU WERE LEAVING
NEVER AGAIN TO SEE YOUR FACE
I WOULD HAVE SHOWERED YOUR BROW WITH KISSES
THEN GLADLY HAVE GONE IN YOUR PLACE
ALTHOUGH I DIDN’T KNOW YOU WERE LEAVING
I PRAY IN MY HEART THAT YOU WILL KNOW
WHILE I WALK THROUGH THIS WORLD WITHOUT YOU
JUST HOW MUCH I LOVED YOU SO.

WHITNEY’S LIKE WAS A TRUE GIFT, SHE WAS KIND, GENEROUS AND HAD A LOVING HEART.
HER DAD, SISTER, FIANCE, MANY FAMILY MEMBERS AND MYSELF ARE TRULY LOST WITHOUT HER PRESENCE.
UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN…WITH LOVE,
JULIE (WHITNEY’S MOM)
Words can never erase the heartache but knowing you are not alone – I hope that helps. Prayers, love and peace.

I am so sorry for your loss. I hope the prayers of others that are walking your same path help lift you and your family. The poem you left was beautiful.

“Faith consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe. It is not enough that a thing be possible for it to be believed.” ~Voltaire
