An October Prayer for Body, Mind and Spirit

As the cool winds of October sweep across the land,

we pause to turn inward, seeking the stillness that calls us to care for both body and soul.

In this moment of reflection, may we find the strength to honour the quiet needs within us,

and to listen to the whispers of our deeper selves.

 

Help us, in this time, to tend to our well-being with gentle compassion,

to care for our mental and physical health,

and to understand that in doing so, we honour the sacredness of our lives.

May we release the patterns and habits that no longer serve us,

making space for the growth that nurtures our wholeness.

 

Grant us the wisdom to recognise that true peace comes not from the distractions of the world,

but from the balance and harmony we cultivate within.

As the days grow shorter, may we find time to pause, to reflect,

and to heal the hidden parts of ourselves that long for attention.

 

In the quiet of this season,

may we embrace the process of becoming,

knowing that every step we take toward self-care is a step toward a deeper understanding of who we are.

Let us walk with purpose through this month, carrying with us the strength of self-compassion,

and the courage to face ourselves fully.

 

May this time of reflection bring us clarity, peace, and renewal,

and may we be guided by the truth that in caring for ourselves,

we are honouring the sacred journey of our lives.

 

Amen.
