Day Eight of the Twelve Days of Christmas Meditations



On the Eighth Day of Christmas...

Welcome to DAY EIGHT of our 
Twelve Days of Christmas Meditations 




CANDLE
WE LIGHT. “We light this candle as a reminder of the Christ that is Light within ALL of us”

STILLNESS
WE SIT. SOMETIMES WE DANCE. In a circle, prayer hands or not, open hands or not, holding hands in a circle could work. You can try some bowing and “Namaste”. Namaste translates into “The light in me bows to the light in you”, for me this means “the Christ in me acknowledges the Christ in you.”

SONG
WE SING. Karen Drucker's I Am So Blessed. You can listen through the Spotify player at top left of page. ;)

MINI-DEVOTIONAL
Give thanks for blessings seen and unseen.

THANKFULNESS
WE PRAY. You can try “God Our Father”, or any prayer of thanks here.

God Our Father(to tune of Where is Thumper)
God our Father
God our Father
Once Again
Once Again
Thank you for our blessings
Thank you for our blessings
Amen
Amen.

Try a few “Thank you God for ____”, or "God Bless ____". 

THREE OM’S TO PRACTICE RECEIVING BREATH
WE BREATHE. Hilarious and Oh-so-fun for the littles. It's not so much about the OM as it is about creating a way for them to connect with their BREATH. Om is an ideal way to teach them to feel their breath. Deep breath in, and exhale OM{sounds like A U M}. Three times. No idea how to "Om"? Click here for the how, or just make up your own way!
