A prayer for times of crisis and for healing

This is a multi denominational, multi dimensional prayer for times of crisis and for healing. The prayer can be addressed to the being of another for proximal or distant healing and it can be used in critical situations for staying focused and present. The Clear Light Prayer can be said for those involved when you witness an accident on the road. It can be said, (usually repeated 3-7 times at least 2x per day) for those who are passing. See the clearlight website for some other ways that this beautiful and simple prayer can be helpful.

The Clear Light Prayer

Now I am experiencing the Clear Light of objective reality. Nothing is happening, nothing ever has happened or ever will happen. My present sense of self, the voyager, is in reality the void itself, having no qualities or characteristics. I remember myself as the voyager, whose deepest nature is the Clear Light itself; I am one; there is no other. I am the voidness of the void, the eternal unborn, the uncreated, neither real nor unreal. All that I have been conscious of is my own play of consciousness, a dance of light, the swirling patterns of light in infinite extension, endless endlessness, the Absolute beyond change, existence, reality. I, the voyager, am inseparable from the Clear Light; I cannot be born, die, exist, or change. I know now that this is my true nature.
