August 10, 2014—10:10 AM
Under the New Moon of July 26, 2014, I set new intentions but reminded myself to remain humble and gracious during the influence of the powerful Leo.
On August 1, 2014, I received the following text message from my friends at Hopi: “Next time you come out, we have a place for you to stay out in nature where you and Ahote can meditate together.” I became very excited about returning to Hopi and planned to do so during the next Blood Moon on October 8, 2014.
On August 3, 2014, I posted the following…
My Soul and Physical Body are on two different journeys, but they’re the same. On this journey, no one is ahead or behind me. I am NOT more advanced or more enlightened than anyone else. It is not a contest. I am not keeping score. It’s life. It’s a journey. It’s a complete blessing.
On August 10, 2014, I returned to Dreamy Draw Park and hiked to the top of a peak not far from where I had performed the fourth full moon prayer the month before.

I performed my fifth full moon ceremony just as the sun was beginning to set.
This time, however, I changed it. Instead of using my version of the Lord’s Prayer, which I used in the first four full moon rituals, I used a revised version of The Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi.
I began my prayer by addressing the six directions, north, east, south, west, above, and below, with the following mantra.
The Father and I are one.
I stand before thee in the Light of the Christ.
For I am Light
I am Light
I am that Light.
LUNAR PRAYER
Heavenly Creator, we ask you for your love and advice. We ask that you bless us with an open heart, a clear mind, and a pure spirit so that we may serve you and live in harmony with every creature on Earth and all living beings throughout the Universe. Please allow us to open our hearts, minds, souls, and spirits to your infinite, unconditional love and compassion. With gratitude. Amen.
TWIN HEARTS LUNAR PRAYER Portions of this prayer were inspired by Master Choa Kok Sui and his Twin Hearts Meditations for Pranic Healing
- Tap the top of your head to bring attention to your crown chakra
- Press your tongue to the roof of your mouth.
- Relax. While slowly counting to 7, inhale peace, love, and light through your mouth and into your body and spirit.
- Hold your breath for 7 seconds.
- While slowly counting to 7, exhale all anger, resentment, and negativity through your nose.
- Once again, hold your breath for 7 seconds.
(Repeat this exercise two more times. Relax and breathe normally at the end of the third breathing exercise.)
Then, raise your hands to chest level with your palms facing outwards. Imagine all the people you love in front of you as you channel God’s loving energy through your crown chakra, directing this loving energy through the palms of your hands. Shower everyone you know and love with this beautiful, loving energy. Hold that thought, then imagine the Sun, the Earth, the Moon, and all of the stars in the Universe in front of you as you project waves of this beautiful, loving energy throughout the Universe. Imagine these beautiful waves of energy touching every living thing in Heaven and on Earth. Hold this thought for several moments. Then, bring your attention back to Planet Earth.
Repeat the following prayer silently in your mind;
“Dear Heavenly Creator, I pray that all stones, plants, animals, and beings born on Planet Earth prepare for a significant re-balancing and purification. I also pray for all the creatures of the seas, land, and air and ask that they all return to perfect health.
I pray that you, the Creator, recognize the fact that Planet Earth and all of its inhabitants have a lot of nurturing and Love to offer, not only to the Earth but also to the other planets in the solar system: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. I ask that all of the Unconditional Love on Earth be sent out into our Solar System and Universe.
I send out a prayer asking all of our ancestors from the heavens and the stars to return to Mother Earth to help with the re-balancing. I let them know that the time is now. I ask that the purification take place in a non-judgmental manner and that the energy of Unconditional Love is present at all times.”
Repeat the Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi (Prayer for Peace) as you focus on the following areas of the Earth to help cleanse and prepare the Earth for healing:
- While projecting the color indigo and concentrate on the third-eye chakra, the space between your eyes, place your consciousness at the Hopi Indian Reservation and say: “Creator, make me an instrument of your peace.”
- Then, project violet through your crown chakra while focusing on Tibet. Then say: “Where there is hatred, let me sow love;“
- Now, focus on the Great Pyramids, the Sphinx, and the Mound of Olives. Project the color blue through your throat chakra and say, “Where there is injury, pardon;”
- Then, move your attention to Mount Shasta, California, project red through your root chakra or the area at the base of your spine, and say: “Where there is doubt, faith.”
- Then travel in your mind to Ayers Rock & the Olgas in Australia. Project yellow through your solar plexus chakra, the area between your ribs, and say: “Where there is despair, hope.”
- Then, return your consciousness across the Pacific Ocean to Lake Titicaca in Bolivia. Project orange through your navel chakra and say: “Where there is darkness, light.”
- Then travel in your mind to Glastonbury, Scotland. Project the color green through your heart chakra and say: “Where there is sadness, joy.“
- Return your attention to the Great Pyramids and the Mound of Olives while projecting blue out of your throat chakra and say: “O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; and to be loved as to love.“
- Return your attention to Tibet, project the color violet through your crown chakra, and say: “For it is in giving that we receive.“
- Then, return your consciousness to Hopi, project indigo through your third-eye chakra, and say: “It is in pardoning that we are pardoned.“
- Then, finally, focus on the entire Earth and say, “And it is in changing for the better that we are born into eternal life.”
Then, sit quietly for 7 minutes. Breathe slowly and silently, repeating “Om” or “Amen” while projecting waves of unconditional love throughout the earth, the solar system, and the universe. Relax and just let go. After 7 minutes, return your consciousness to your body and its location on the earth. Take several deep breaths, then close with the following prayer:
“Dear Heavenly Creator, we humbly thank you for your love and affection. We thank you for blessing us with a loving heart, intelligent mind, and willful spirit so that we may now go forward and serve you and live in harmony with every living creature on the earth and throughout the universe. Thank you for opening our hearts, minds, souls, and spirits to your unconditional love and compassion. With sincere gratitude and appreciation, Amen.” – Prayers and Meditations inspired by Master Choa Kok Sui.
At the end of my prayer, I crunched up a roll of the sacred Piki bread that Tuwa had given me back in April and sprinkled it on the ground around me. Shortly afterward, the full supermoon appeared in the night sky.
And with that, the fifth full moon ceremony was behind me. It was time to prepare for the next new moon, which was scheduled for August 25, and the next full supermoon, which was scheduled for September 2014 at 5:38 PM, Arizona time.
