Embrace a golden healing light as you use your breath to calm and restore. Julie Potiker completes this guided meditation with the poem, "Be a Prayer", by Carolyn Riker.

Be a Prayer, by Carolyn Riker.

Today when you brush your hair,

reach for a mugh, listen to a son

be a prayer.

Today if all you do is walk

or sleep, or draw

be a prayer.

Today if you call a friend,

hold a hand, stir your tea

or sing softly

be a prayer.

Today I only ask of you

to reach, listen and hold

what is inside of you

because you are a prayer.

we need you.

We make each

other whole.

-"Be a Prayer", by Carolyn Riker, from The Colors I Hear; Poems & Prose to Inspire Creativity.
