Welcoming Prayer

The Welcoming Prayer is a meditation inviting us to become present to explore our experiences, without judgement or shame, and invite God to be in them with us. This prayer helps us let go of thoughts and feelings which support our programs for happiness - power and control, affection and esteem, and safety and security - which become compulsive and prevent the will from being open and present to what God is inviting. The three steps of the prayer are focus, welcome, and let go.

This meditation, recorded by Mindy Durias, runs for about 16 minutes and will introduce and guide you through this practice.
