Let There Be Peace On Earth

"Let There Be Peace On Earth"

The words to the song "Let There Be Peace On Earth," are provided as a heart opening meditation. Proceed with the meditation slowly, experiencing each part.

Sit in a comfortable position with your hands in your lap. Close your eyes during the breathing exercise.

Begin by releasing the tension in your body. Allow your lips to part slightly, relax your tongue and the muscles around your lips. Swallow a few times to relax any tension in your throat. Take a deep breath and exhale through your mouth, sighing as you do. Continue in this way for a few minutes. Then move your attention slowly down through your body, inviting each part of yourself to relax.

When you feel settled in your body, draw your attention back to your breath. Breathe in your natural breathing pattern and listen to the sound of your breath. Feel the sensation of the incoming and outgoing breath. Follow each breath as it changes from moment to moment. Continue this process until you feel peaceful.

Read each line of the following song as if it were written especially for you.

Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me
Let there be peace on earth
The peace that was meant to be
With God as Creator, family all are we
Let me walk with my family
In peaceful harmony
Let peace begin with me
Let this be the moment now
With every breath I take
Let this be my joyous vow
To take each moment and live each moment
In peace eternally
Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me

Peace be with you today.
And so it is.
