I spend the time that I ask my students to center at the beginning of classes praying. I pray for the proper atmosphere and conditions for the class to take place and ask for support in my teaching. I pray that my students are connected to their higher selves or own place of power so they will keep from harm. I do not pray to a god or in a particular religious style. I am inclusive of all religions and spiritual but not religious. I have a concept I use called the divine light of truth love and wisdom, because personally that is what I seek.
While I was praying at the beginning of one of my classes this week, I entered the divine light. I just decided in the moment to allow that concept into myself and I sat and basked in its beauty. I have so often prayed to be connected to, protected by, etc the divine light of truth love and wisdom and finally I just sat in it and became one with it and allowed myself to be it... in those moments.
