The Prayer
                                                                           An Apache Prayer
Looking behind, I am filled with gratitude.
Looking forward, I am filled with vision.
Looking upwards, I am filled with strength. 
Looking within, I discover peace.
 
Amen

With love and support from the realms above dedicate this time for yourself, to recharge your physical, mental and spiritual bodies with peace and harmony. Compose yourself and let your whole body relax! Let your organs and your muscles revitalise from all the negative energies you accumulated around you and replace them with positive and loving ones that will help you live in happiness.

Close your eyes and start breathing deeply, in and out, in and out. Let go of the heavy weight you are carrying on your shoulders! You are now feeling lighter and lighter! You are now free! You are free to start on a special journey, a journey prepared just for you, a journey of revitalisation and healing!

See yourself now going higher and higher, see yourself going through clouds, flying among the planets and the stars! Feel how fast you travel!

As you go higher and higher you find yourself going through many different layers of beautiful coloured energies that give you the feeling that is where you belong, that you are unique, that you are very special in the eyes of God! Your life is stretching in front of you; see all your achievements flashing in front of you and slowly going away! With happiness you let them go!
Suddenly a green energy of great love comes over you and is taking you higher and higher to a place where your Guide is anxiously waiting for you. Your Guide takes you by the hand and is taking you into a beautiful and tranquil garden, a garden with many, many colourful flowers and with hundreds of birds all singing a melody of harmony and where some of your loved ones, being family and friends are waiting to spend some time with you. You recognise them all, you embrace them one by one and you let them express their love for you! At this moment you let go, you forgive and forget any misunderstanding that existed between you! You realise that, at that time, you acted in the best way you knew and now with the wisdom you accumulated. In the meantime you see things more clearly, you let all that negativity go away! A great compassion and a great love is filling your heart now! Feel the great love that connects you with your loved ones! Be proud of the calm and peace you brought all around; listen to their advices! Remember these loved ones are always with you and they are happy when you are happy and they are sad when you are sad and when you ask for help they always help you in a way that is best for you!

With these loving, calming and healing thoughts you bring into your mind all your loved ones, friends and acquaintances who need help and support and could not be here with us today, and whose names are in our Healing book. You want to help them too, to experience the healing energies you have just experienced. You present them to the Guides and you ask that they extend to them too these healing energies. Bring these friends in your mind now and send them your love and healing.

We thank the Father and our Guides for the healing we have all experienced today. Let us now ask for help and support so these energies will revitalise our Souls, our Minds and our Bodies.
Your guide now tells you that the time has come for you to return back to your physical level. You thank all your loved ones for coming to spend some time with you and for their continuous help and support. You follow your Guide to the edge of that beautiful and colourful garden, there with a hug and a kiss you thank your guide for the experience he prepared especially for you and with his blessing you start your return trip.
 
Slowly you start on your way down from the Astral level and you once again go through the different coloured energy levels. See yourself again flying among the planets and the stars, going through the clouds.

Now you feel heavier and heavier. A strong attraction brings you down to this very hall. You find yourself sitting on the bench you have started from. Your feet are touching the ground, you feel your hands on your laps, your breath is stronger now! When you are ready open your eyes and welcome back.
 
The Story
                                                      Two Friends & The Bear    
 
Vijay and Raju were friends. On a holiday they went walking into a forest, enjoying the beauty of nature. Suddenly they saw a bear coming at them. They became frightened.

Raju, who knew all about climbing trees, ran up to a tree and climbed up quickly. He didn’t think of Vijay. Vijay had no idea how to climb the tree.

Vijay thought for a second. He’d heard animals don’t prefer dead bodies, so he fell to the ground and held his breath. The bear sniffed him and thought he was dead. So, it went on its way.

Raju asked Vijay;

“What did the bear whisper into your ears?” 

Vijay replied,   
 
“The bear asked me to keep away from friends like you”
…and went on his way.
 
Dear fiends remember:
“A friend in need is a friend indeed.”
 
 
The joke
 
A student comes to a young professor's office hours. She glances down the hall, closes his door, kneels pleadingly.

"I would do anything to pass this exam." She leans closer to him, flips back her hair, gazes meaningfully into his eyes. "I mean..." she whispers, "...I would do...anything."

He returns her gaze. "Anything?"

"Anything."

His voice softens. "Anything??"

"Absolutely anything."

His voice turns to a whisper. "Would you...study?"
