Every day when you pray or meditate, try repeating: ‘May peace be unto all, may fullness be unto all, may prosperity be unto all, may happiness be unto all’. When you say this, its not just words – if you really feel it, visualise it, and make it truly heartfelt, you will be sending out your message of peace to the world. All prayers bring benefit, so let us wholeheartedly pray for our world. Spend at least a few minutes each day in meditation, in prayer and radiate thoughts of peace. These peaceful minutes will help millions of peaceless minds. Your peaceful vibrations, even though you might not even realize their effect, will certainly help many people. You will be helping the whole world, and others in this world, to find peace and joy in some way or another. Those moments when you feel peace, have been sent to you from someone else who was radiating peace. You can carry this joyful, peaceful feeling from meditation all ! through your day and your week, all through your life. With this outlook on life, the whole world becomes a heaven. Let your actions and thoughts bring out that cosmic beauty and help build a better world. THAT’S ALL FOLKs for another issue of the Purple Valley Newsletter.
