May you celebrate this Holiday Season in a way that is spiritually meaningful to you. May you celebrate it in love and friendship with your friends and family. May God send all of us continued blessings.
I copied the following prayer from the book, VisionSeeker, by Dr. Hank Wesselman, page 293. I also modified it for the New Year. It’s a prayer I have adopted and repeat daily. It’s non-denominational and is intended for the welfare of all mankind. The ending phrase, Amama Ua Noa, is Hawaiian.
A Prayer for the New Year
Oh God in heaven,
You who are the Beginning and the End,
You who created everything in the universe,
Bless this sacred Earth.
Bless this river of Life.
Bless our atmosphere.
Bless us and our endeavors.
Send us your angels and helpful spirits.
All are welcome. May they
Bring forth abundance without limit;
May they bring us good health;
May they grant us spiritual insight
And may they grant us true understanding.
May the Earth continue to live.
May You grant us long life.
And may all these blessings be manifested.
Amama Ua Noa!
(My prayer is free. It has flown)

I am having some problems letting go of a lot of anger toward some of my relatives, I am wondering how to handle it.. I feel like I want to send one an email to Facebook and tell them how I feel.. I don’t know..

Jo, I know of a Buddhist exercise you might want to try. It is based on the idea that we should feel love for everyone, even those who make us mad. First, think of someone you love very much. Pay attention to your loving feelings. Then take those feelings and project them onto the person who made you mad. This will help minimize your negative feelings, maybe even eliminate them. In the future when the person angers you, tell them that they anger you, but in a calm and loving voice. You can’t make people do what you want, but you can decide how you will feel about them and relate to them. Anger only brings more anger. Love will bring love. Hope this helps.
