Prayers Mantras for Recovery

Whatever Doesn’t Serve
prayer What weight can you put down right now, willingly relinquishing the pointed quills of guilt or judgment? What burden of the heart can lift, what dark corner can be lit, the candle flickering at first, then burning bright? With the next breath, let it go, that old story you’ve told yourself a million times. Whatever doesn’t serve you on this path of truth, leave it behind. Offer this one gift: the simple sacrifice that in the giving sets you free to fully live. Donna Faulds
Beholding the Red and Purple Sunset
prayer O Great Spirit, whose voice we hear in the winds, and whose breath gives life to all the world, hear us. We are small and weak. We need your strength and wisdom. Let us walk in beauty so that our eyes can behold the red and purple sunset. Make our hands respect the things you have made and our ears sharp to hear your voice. Make us wise so that we may understand the things you have taught our people. Help us to learn the lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock. We seek strength, not to be greater than our brothers and sisters, but to fight our greatest enemy — ourselves. Help us be present with clean hands and straight eyes, so when life fades as the fading sunset, our spirits may come to you without shame.
The Peace of Wild Things
prayer When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For the time, I rest in the grace of the world and am free. Wendell Berry
Birthright
prayer Despite illness of body or mind, in spite of blinding despair or habitual belief, who you are is whole. Let nothing keep you separate from the truth. The soul, illumined from within, longs to be known for Undying, untouched by fire or the storms of life, there is a place inside where stillness and abiding peace reside. You can ride the breath to go there. Despite doubt or hopeless turns of mind, you are not broken. Spirit surrounds, embraces, fills you from the inside out. Release everything that isn't your true nature. What's left, the fullness, light and shadow, claim all that as your birthright. Donna Faulds
Drugs Are Not My Truth
prayer Today, I heal my body, my mind, my spirit, my life. Drugs are a part of my past. They are not part of my present. They are not part of my future. Today, I am clean and free. Today, I am becoming strong, one second at a time. One thought at a time. One action at a time. I am learning how to live into who I was created to be. Rigorously honest, authentic, vulnerable and transparent. Help me to be of service, out of who I am in this present moment. In the midst of my messy life. Anonymous
Sweet Darkness
prayer When your eyes are tired the world is tired also. When your vision has gone no part of the world can find you. Time to go into the dark where the night has eyes to recognize its own. There you can be sure you are not beyond love. The dark will be your womb tonight. The night will give you a horizon further than you can see. You must learn one thing. The world was made to be free in. Give up all the other worlds except the one to which you belong. Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet confinement of your aloneness to learn anything or anyone that does not bring you alive is too small for you. David Whyte
