A Couple Meditations or Chants

For the occasions when you feel you need a ritual or chant to get centered again (like those stressful times when you are barely managing to satisfy the demands and needs of job/family/house/school/self/God), I dug up a couple items for you. One is a Buddhist meditation or chant, and the other is a Navajo prayer.

Egyptian ’Seven Gates’ Chakra Ritual

Part of the Egyptian Book of the Dead give details of a ritual called the Seven Gates, in which the name of the initiate was spoken by the priest. This ritual asks the Higher Forces to receive the initiate and admit him or her into the next higher realm.
In the translation that follows below, the names of the gods are replaced with a descriptive title. We kind of assume that the ultimate destination, “the beautiful Hidden Place”, is the blissful feeling of deep meditation. Maybe you would like to enact this ritual on the next flooding of the Nile, or at the rising of Sirius which announces the flood will begin (which is often on or around the Summer Solstice).
