Prayer for Peace Class

This week, I’m teaching all about peace on the inside and the outside. We need some peace now in this crazy world. The focus is on backbends with a special backbend variation at the end.

Here is the end of the dharma talk, which is the prayer of St. Francis calls for healing and peace:

“Lord, make me an instrument of your peace, Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.”

It’s a sweet playlist, too.
