Silent Chant for Peace
Sometimes when I cannot find the words to pray I practice
this silent chant.
First I sit very still and let my eyes gently close. I focus
my attention on my heart center and notice my breathing. I begin to gently
deepen my breath aiming for a slow, full, rhythmic breath. Then with each inhale
and each exhale I just silently say the word “peace” to myself. I let it be
rather matter of fact as in “Yes, of course, peace.”
Then periodically I might add a few words such as, “ Peace
in my family” or “Peace on Earth”
Here is an example:
Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace,
peace, peace.
Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace,
peace, peace.
Peace in my heart.
Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace,
peace, peace.
Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace,
peace, peace.
Peace in my mind.
Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace,
peace, peace.
Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace,
peace, peace.
Peace in my body.
Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace,
peace, peace.
Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace,
peace, peace.
Peace in my family.
Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace,
peace, peace.
Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace,
peace, peace.
Peace in my neighborhood.
Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace,
peace, peace.
Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace,
peace, peace.
Peace on earth.
