Happy New Year of Grace! Completing the Kwanzaa Circle---Day 7.



Happy New Year of Grace!  
Completing the Kwanzaa Circle---Day 7. 

Embracing IMANI, the Swahili word for Faith!  Faith Nurtures, Supports and Sustains Me.

Beloved Radiant ONES,

Breathe and Exhale Deeply Five Times. With each slow breath  look to the four directions, East, West, North, South, and bow in Appreciation and Gratitude for Our Mother Earth-Heart and All Her Creations.    
 
On the Fifth Breath,  Raise your hands above your head and then bringing them down to your shoulders,  turn slowly in a complete circle.  
 
It is said that Love with Wisdom allows complete loyalty, transformation and trust.   
 
Breathe Deeply  In and Out Five More Times, and turn slowly until Only Faith and Love envelops your Heart.  
 
Imagine that Patience holds your hand as birds of Intuition guide you through the winds of change.  
 
You are learning to Fly and Become One With Omnipotent, Masterful, Generous Creator of Every Uni-Verse through Love.
 
You have chosen to embrace the Swahili concept of IMANI: Faith Nurtures, Supports and Sustains Me.

Now You Are Ready to Step into the New Year with Grace, Love and Wisdom.  

Say to Yourself...
 
For Our Ancestors, Our Elders, Our Families, Our Communities, Our Nations and Every Child We Know and Those Yet to Be Born...

May We All Embrace and Support Artistic & Social Activism. 

May We Live Our Good Purpose with Balance and Creativity So that We Create Strong Educational, Economic Foundations. 

May We Become Good Responsible, Creative, Cooperative Stewards of  Love with Unlimited Faith, Hope and Prosperity To Share!
