Good Evening Dear Ones!
Happy Feast of the Transfiguration and the solemn remembrance of the day Hiroshima was bombed. Today we re going to spend time in prayer and silence in order to become rested, renewed, and transformed by prayer. We will use the prayers from blogs that have the theme of transformation.
Let us become one with each other and light our candles and be transformed by prayer in the silence of our hearts.
Let us first start out with our breathing exercises.
Inhale our new selves
Exhale our old selves

Or you may try these meditation steps!
Let us begin our transformation and find ourselves traveling deeper into the center of our inner beings where we will meet God and listen attentively to what God is saying to us and guiding our continual transformation. Our transformation is where love, mercy, and justice meet and Love Energy/ Holy Spirit empowers and makes our journey possible.
A reminder of our suggested meditation steps for the week:
Let us start by finding a place of quiet in our home where we are away from distractions
Once we find our "Happy Place " in our home let us find a comfortable chair
Sit down gently in the chair.
Let us begin by taking a few of our deep and cleansing breaths with our eyes closed.
Think of the words that we use for our mindfulness and breathing exercises. Tonight I'm going to suggest that we do this on our own because you won't always have the guide with you.
Next we are going to do relaxation exercises from head to to by squeezing and releasing ever muscle group and some gentle stretches.Don't forget to do toe and hand wigglies.
After you have completed these steps it is time for our Mindfulness 5+ sits. We do this without moving a muscle. Let us add 5 minutes each day for the next week.
Tomorrow and in the days to come we are going to Seek God within ourselves by meditating and going deeper into our heart homes. Seek to know and to love God more fully. As we seek God let us be also be continually transformed on our life's pilgrimage.
When God called me to write Walk With Me On Our Journey God kept empowering me to bring the Gospel to a fragile and broken world by prayer walking and even when I rest. Using what God called me to do let these words as prayers transform us.
