[Main Blog Post] A Few Daily Prayers

[jprussell]

I have found it helpful in my own spiritual practice to say regular prayers for a few things I do every day (or most every day). Personally, I find it helpful to find excuses to turn my mind to the spiritual when otherwise going about my business, and these prayers help. As always I welcome feedback, but for this one in particular, I'd love to hear what kind of habitual/regular prayers you say or spiritual practices you engage in, whether monotheistic, polytheistic, or otherwise.

Thanks for sharing these prayers! I've been doing the morning exercise from Way of the Golden section for several months now. I think it's a variety of the Four Fold breath. Rather than having fixed words to say, I follow the breath and see where it takes me. It makes the day feel much more peaceful.

Thanks for sharing these. I am reminded that I should be praying over my food; saying the blessing was my job as a child, and it was difficult extricating myself from the obligation when I became Pagan in my teens. Today I'd just shrug and come up with a suitably non-denominational prayer while mentally addressing it to my Gods, but I was very invested in my rebellion, both against the WELS and my dad, in those days. Ah, youth...

Speaking of prayers, do you have a copy of Galina Krasskova's (now sadly out of print) devotional to Idunn and Bragi, "Skalded Apples"?
