Prayer for Dancers

Dear Universe,

Help me to love myself as I am.

Let my dancing be an expression of that love.

Help me to recognize the Light in others without diminishing my own Light by falling into jealousy.

Help me to move through doubt, fear and self-hatred into the dance of Love.

Help me to love every part of my body without exception.

Help me to practice recovering quickly from my mistakes,

and to honor my limitations with patience

so that I may uncover the gift in the disguise of that limitation.

Help me to see through the obstacle of the Ideal Image and to trust that my best is good enough.

Help me to nourish myself mind, body and soul so that I may be a vessel for Grace,

and help me to let go so that I may be One with ecstasy.

Thank you for this day of dancing.
