Holy/Wholly Prayer for Healing

Let Love and Light be breathed into every cell of my body. Let the warmth of that caress and warm me. Let my cells loosen and enliven from taking in the Light vibration, allowing themselves the gratitude for the Love and Energy they receive. I open my eyes to take in the Love surrounding me in nature and from the Universal Source of which I am a part. I hear that I am not apart from the Love, and instead so much a part of it all. I speak from this place of Love from the heart and from every cell of my body. My eyes shine out with radiance and gratitude. I now understand the purpose of Love and Light and laugh as I thoroughly open to the Wisdom of What Is. Namaste...Thank you, thank you, thank you...All is well and Everyone is safe with me.

Greetings! 

As part of our migration to OneSpirit Interfaith Foundation, we've added a new and easier domain name. You can now reach the website at www.osif.org.uk and the staff email addresses have been shortened to the form admin@osif.org.uk. Don't worry though ... the old addresses will continue to work as well.

We are about to start updating the Community Handbook for our 2012 edition which will be distributed to all ministers and students in November. If you have suggestions for how it could be improved or for additional content that would support you, please do let us know.

We are in urgent need of some storage space in London for our ordination equipment as we have to remove it from its current location shortly; there isn't very much, but it is bulky.  If anyone has a small space that they would be happy to utilise for this purpose, please let Lindsay know.  If required, a small payment could be made available.
