Blessing Yourself And Others

There are times in life when it is necessary to have important discussions with a family member or friend. Even people who love one another have challenges in communicating when there is disagreement or deep emotion.

There is a simple practice that has helped me many times in such situations. It is the use of a Meta Blessing. A Meta Blessing can be spoken or prayed for myself when I need guidance or clarity.

Here is an example:

May my mind and heart be open. May I release the need to be right. May I be open to guidance both human and divine. 

If another person is involved and I am seeking mutual trust, understanding and/or reconciliation, I might use these. *Always begin with yourself so that you are free of the need to win or make the other person change:

May my mind and heart be open. May I Listen rather than planning my response. May I receive wisdom and clarity. May I speak with love and compassion.

May (person's name)'s mind and heart be open. May she/he Listen rather than planning a response. May she/he receive wisdom and clarity. May she/he speak with love and compassion.

The key is to edit the blessings to fit the situation/relationship you are seeking to heal, restore, deepen.
