This is our much expanded and customised version of a full body movement prayer – a mudra – we learned from our friend Antonia, an amazing woman from the Tiwi Islands, who shared the seeds of this prayer with us.
Deep love and gratitude for you
beautiful SiStar Antonia

As the moon fades,
facing the rising sun
before the vast cosmos above
we begin this day.
What messages do you bring from the dreamtime?
May we bring our attention to this moment.
As we attend to this day,
we find our centre
and hold our hands in prayer.
For this epic adventure,
we take a breath inward,
gathering all the goodness into our being.
All the energy necessary to master our challenges.
Holding this sacred breath,
we bow our heads with gratitude
for the privilege of our life.
This human soul
on this sacred journey.
Thank you for my life.
Feel the wave of existence wash over you.
We release our breath outward
infused with the energy
of our gratitude and devotion.
A wish for all beings’ happiness.
We attend to the breath again.
A conscious breath.
And again. And again.
Breathe like the waves coming
and going on the shore.
Count 40 waves of breath.
Moving our hands to our heads,
we attend to our thoughts.
May we think good thoughts.
May we think up wonderful things.
May we replace judgement
with thoughts of compassion and love.
In this moment, we thank our thoughts.
Moving our hands to our eyes,
we attend to our sight.
May we see the good in the world.
May we see the not so good.
May we have awareness.
May we witness positive change.
May we see the places to laugh.
May we see ways to play.
In this moment, we thank our sight.
Moving our hands to our ears,
we attend to our listening.
May we tune our ears to hear the beauty.
May we listen with reverence.
May we hear the messages.
In this moment, we thank our listening.
Moving our hands to our mouth,
we attend to our voice.
May we freely express ourselves.
May we speak our truth.
May we laugh and cry loudly.
Our statements create our reality
Loving and empowering language.
In this moment, we thank our voice.
Moving our hands over our chest,
we attend to our heart.
May we love. May we be loved.
May we speak from the heart.
In this moment, we thank the love in our hearts.
Moving our hands over our belly.
we attend to our intuition.
May we feel the stored emotions.
May we flow with intuition.
May we trust our gut.
May we nourish in the way of our ancestors.
In this moment, we thank our knowing.
Moving our hands to our thighs,
we attend to our walk.
May we walk our talk.
May we intuit where to walk.
In this moment,
we thank the power
and freedom of our walk.
Moving our hands to our feet,
we attend to our connection.
May we stay grounded.
May we stay connected.
We hear her speak.
May we stand with confidence.
In this moment,
we thank Mother Earth
and flow with her natural laws.
Moving our hands to our back,
may we sense our helpers.
May our tribe have our back.
In this moment,
we thank our community.
Moving our hands out
feel the freedom.
Feel the peak of energy.
Lift your arms and take up space.
Breathe the deepest breath,
tightening your abdomen and stomach
forcing the breath to your higher being.
Let it flush your mind
and sparkle through your eyes.
Feel your humble strength.
Now spin in your intention.
May our challenges become adventures.
May we move our dreams into reality.
May we reach our greatest potential.
The utmost of joy.
Feel it now.
There is nothing else to do.
I take responsibility
for the creation of my life.
I shine my light.
Feel your body from the inside.
Feel it working together.
Feel it clicking together
with the universal sacred geometry.
Create this as a signature for the day.
As we attend to this day,
we centre our posture
and hold our hands in prayer.
We connect with all those
praying and playing.
We breathe this breath together.
I have everything I need.
We have everything we need.
AHO
In loving service
