What is the purpose of the Vajrasattva mantra?

The purpose of using this mantra is to release a blanket of healing and purifying energy in you own life as well as throughout the world. Much of human suffering is caused by living in delusion, attachment to anger, hatred, jealousy and fear. When using the Vajrasattva mantra you can create temporary relief from any earth bound attachments to things which create unhappiness, then release the energy of your deepest, soulful Self where the presence of Divine Energy exists.

I had decided several years ago to create a life saving book for those like yourself in times of great need. That is what I do best; support others at writing a moving and memorable eulogy. If you need tips on How to Write a Memorable Eulogy, then I believe you certainly will find my book useful as so many others have.

A good eulogy will have life, passion, insight, love and encouragement for yourself as the creator as well as for those listening. One tip is writing a eulogy from the heart with a little bit of humor, just enough to relieve some stress without being disrespectful.

A good a eulogy takes only a little time to prepare if you have an experienced coach that anticipates your every needs. This should include the needed quotes, examples and ways to gather eulogy stories.

My second tip on writing a eulogy is clarity. Have a clear direction. There are several styles of eulogies which will work best, and you’ll find those clearly outlined in How to Write a Memorable Eulogy.

My third tip is be sure to rehearse. Rehearsal gives you a feeling of increased confidence. However, don’t worry at bit because I’ll walk you through every step of the journey. With good guidance presenting an inspiring eulogy can be pleasant, easy and inspirational.

As a spiritual teacher and spiritual adviser, I have often counseled my clients on how to deal with writing a eulogy. It occurred to me that if a short and easy to use book was written, I could help many others as well. My information rich book is the easiest resource for you to use in a time of great need. It was crafted with you in mind.

3. Favorite Biblical Scriptures for your eulogy in the event that you want extra inspiration.

4. How to Write an Obituary which does require a set of guidelines that no one else will tell you about.

5. Ten Ways to Heal and Grieve After Losing a Loved One, which is as important as writing and presenting any eulogy. You need support. This is a time of change, healing and recovery. I wrote this from the depth of my experience in hospice work.

Affirmations are short healing phrases you can use to help raise you up emotionally, mentally and spiritually during and after the writing of a eulogy, during funeral planning, after burial service and in the days or weeks that follow.

When an actor delivers lines flawlessly in a play, in a movie or at a eulogy it is because they had plenty of good coaching, rehearsals and well written lines. Without good writing a eulogy has no life, no direction or less power. Writing with clarity is the key. Then you will need to rehearse. However, don’t worry at bit because I’ll walk you through every step of the journey. With good guidance presenting an inspiring eulogy can be pleasant, easy and inspirational.

A eulogy is one of the most important ways to remember a friend or loved one. You have one chance to get it right, so be sure to access the best guidance you need. Very few people have experience with how to write a eulogy because it is a specialized skill. One you rarely have to call upon.

When you honor the divine within another person at the same time you are honoring it within yourself. Namaste expresses the very essence of respect for all of the Presence of God within all of us. In truth, each of us is part of one big family. We come from the same source of life and return once we pass away from the physical body. Namaste helps to remind us of our common heritage while bringing to life the important need for respecting each other.

The other important feature of reciting Namaste when you greet someone is the holding of the hands together over the heart as though in the jesture of praying. This brings together the two positive and negative polarity energy fields in the body balancing them over the heart. The heart is the strongest source of electrical energy in the physical-etheric body. By balancing your energy there is a union of masuline and femanine polarity in the entire auric field of energy.

The psycho-spiritual aspect is engaged because as you bring your hands together at your heart center, literally connecting the right and left hemispheres of the brain. This is a yogic process of unification, the yoking of our active and receptive natures. Thus, you are connecting the heart centers and heart centers in one loop of energy.

Try this on your family and spiritual friends when you see them. It creates a mood of peace, serentiy and respect which is far greater than a hand shake or simple hello.

In India when we meet somebody, we join hands for namaste, sort of diffusing ourselves before the meeting. during the meeting, our mood may elevate, aggravate and when we see the same person off again we join hands to bid goodbye, sort of diffusing ourselves after the meeting.

In India the practice of namaste has become less commonly used being replaced by the western greeting of hello. The hand shake has also taken hold in most Asian countries as well.

Prayer for the Gulf of Mexico by Dr Emoto, Water responds to Emotions, human thought and prayers. And, so does all of nature, the Angelic Kingdom, and other aspects of the Divine Presence we commonly call God.

Here is the prayer:

“I send the energy of love and gratitude to the waters and all living creatures in the Gulf of Mexico and its surroundings. To the whales, dolphins, pelicans, fish, shellfish, planktons, corals, algae … humankind … to ALL living creatures … I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I Love You.”

Please pray this prayer several times a day until the BP oil leak has been capped, and the waters purified from oil.

When you use the word “I” think about the Presence of God, of the collective soul of humanity. “I” is the universal loving presence in all of us. It is not our small, human egos making the request, it is the soul.

Prayer has been shown to be most effective when the individual making the request is open to being a channel for a greater goodness, that Divine Presence.

You can hear about some of these successful prayer and intention studies in the illuminating series, Living with Intention:The Science of Using Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World by Lynne McTaggart.

May we all come together for healing the Earth and waters of the Gulf of Mexico. This BP oil leak affects us all, and so we should all pitch in to do what we can to heal the damage being done.

Never underestimate the power of thought and prayer,
especially when united for the welfare of family,
friends and those on our planet in greatest need.

At this time of crisis caused by the Haitian earthquake
many are joining together to pray for 5 minutes or 10
minutes each day for the coming month beginning January
15th – February 15th. If you spend time in daily meditation,
then add these prayers at the end of your sacred time.

Focus the prayer in your heart center when praying for
the People of Haiti. Your heart is an electro-magnet which
connects with the source of God’s love energy. It can act to
distribute that compassionate love energy very effectively.

I have included a special prayer shown below, called the
Great Invocation. This prayer or invocation is very
powerful because it calls into action God’s light,
love and the power of goodwill.

Pray for the healing, recovery and well being of the Haitian
people, and those hard working, good hearted people actively
involved in relief work.

Your commitment and consistent prayers and thoughts
towards people of Haiti will undoubtedly go along way to
bless and make a power of peace and joy towards every
people in this world.

It is the right time for each one of us to prove our CARE being
a human being and of course to generate global brotherhood
among every human being.

We also urge you to pray and think about the animals that are
also became the victim of this situation.

May your hearth smile with kindness and care more deeply for
for all the beings.

As you recite this prayer, pause between each stanza seeing
First light, then love then the power of goodwill flowing as
light into Haiti, then supporting all involved, both victims and
relief workers. Visualize or image God’s blessings in many
ways working to heal, comfort and sustain everyone
involved in the relief process.

THE GREAT INVOCATION

“From the point of Light within the Mind of God
Let light stream forth into the minds of men.
Let Light descend on Earth.

From the point of Love within the Heart of God
Let love stream forth into the hearts of men.
May the Coming One return to Earth.

From the Centre where the Will of God is known
Let purpose guide the little wills of men
The purpose which the Masters know and serve.

From the Centre which we call the race of men
Let the Plan of Love and Light work out
And may it seal the door where evil dwells.
Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan
on Earth. ”

OM… OM… OM. (pause between each OM to
visualize the Light, Love and Power of Goodwill
to encircle your life, and the entire world.) Or, you
can use Amen instead of Om.

The Great Invocation, used by many millions of
disciples for over the past 60 years, was always
intended by the Tibetan, Djwhal Khul to be
given mass distribution and to become a world
prayer. It is one of the most dynamic prayers
since it invokes the three main forces of God
or Divinity, bringing these powerful forces to
work in the human kingdom. We have witnessed
positive, and dramatic improvement because
of it’s use.

Now, in an increasingly pluralistic and multi-
cultural world, there is a need to continue
making the Great Invocation accessible to as
many people as possible. This matter seems
particularly urgent now, because in the year
2000 another direct impact of Shamballa energy
the will is expected, and the Great Invocation
is the major agent for the transformation of
the human will. The Great Invocation is provided
courtesy of Lucis Trust 2000.

To learn more about the Great Invocation, and many
of the world’s great Prayers, Invocations and
Mantrams, pick up a copy of the book about them on
our FourGates.com website.

To the healing and the power of your positive thoughts,

Christopher

Prayers, Mantrams and Invocations is a
comprehensive yet compact book of some of the
most ancient prayers known to mankind. I have
read it several times finding even the lesser known
prayers equally as moving.

My personal favorite is the Great Invocation because
it contains the universal formulas for invoking God’s
Light, God’s Love and the Power of Goodwill, or
will-to-good. This is one powerful prayer packed with
the essence of wisdom, compassion and goodness
you and I seek in everyday life.

This text represents a diverse collection of sacred
prayers from most of the world’s great religions
and spiritual movements.

These prayers are words of power, also called
Mantra in the Sanskrit based traditions of Hinduism
and Buddhism. You can easily learn to use these
formulas for happiness and well being by reading
along. Many of the prayers or mantra are also
suitable for use in meditation and contemplation.
I recommend that you use them often to calm
your emotions and your mind and whenever you
need spiritual help to connect with the deeper
side of life.

In section 1, author Torkom Saraydarian gives
the deeper meanings of five of the greatest
mantrams in the world. The five principle mantrams
with explanations are:

* The Great Invocation
* The Sons of Men are One
* Affirmation of a Disciple
* Gayatri
* Prayer to Shamballa

In section 2 you will discover a collection of over
100 beautiful prayers, mantra and invocations taken
from every major spiritual or religious tradition
throughout the world.

This work is a perfect companion to use
during your times of meditation and prayer. 109
pages, spiral bound. A bonus of one set of five
Tibetan prayer flags, plus an explanation of the
meaning of Tibetan prayer flags.
