Prayers of Honoring

Prayers of Honoring is the original book in Pixie Lighthorse's prayer trilogy. It offers a way to connect to a power greater than ourselves-to the Source of Life As You Understand It-on our own terms and following our own intuition. With salt and with sweetness, Pixie guides us along gently through word-offerings designed to heal, orient, and fortify. These prayers give sacredness back to everyone, no matter our orientation to the divine, and encourage us to develop a healing intimacy with the natural world.Organized around the four directions, each direction symbolizes a season, an element, and a set of properties and potentials. The book has a circular structure that mirrors life itself, and that encourages us to return, over and over, as the seasons of our own life change, to find new wisdom and perspective.Prayers of Honoring has traveled around the globe and fallen into the hands of many courageous and outspoken individuals and leaders. It has been assimilated into yoga teacher training curriculums and healing circles, read at workshops, demonstrations, and music festivals.-28 prayers, 7 for each cardinal direction.-Space to the left of each prayer to journal, collage, and draw-Journal prompts at the end of each section and space to write-Foreword by Annie Adamson, founder of Yoga Union

Prayers of Honoring was written for sharing from the heart in community. In western culture, we keep many things to ourselves. Prayer, among other things, has become a private practice for those of us who don’t congregate for spiritual purposes. Our language for connection tosomething greater than ourselveshas become truncated to basic iterations and generalized affirmations. These prayers were written to honor the things which are easy to celebrate, and also those things which require more practice. It was written as a reminder of the process of honoring, which is to show high respect. It’s my thought that respect and reverence have all but gone missing from western culture. To cultivate these things through the rhythm of prayer is to demonstrate devotion to the unfathomable energies which suspend us between the divine energies of Earth and Sky every day and night. It’s my belief that creating our own family practice of prayerfulness brings us closer as we travel forth. “Prayers of Honoringhas supported my personal practice and allowed me to ground in an entirely new way.”– Trace K. “Prayers of Honoringwas a gift from a fellow yoga teacher in Montana. I’ve carried it with me around the world and continually seek comfort in the beautiful words and phrases. I am so grateful that you are sharing your heart song, it’s beautiful.”– Emily S. “LovePrayers of Honoring. As I entered my shamanic path, these prayers really helped with all of the energy I was calling in, and the energy I was letting go. I felt it was one of my strongest tools, especially when my closest cousin left earth side during it all. Thank you.”– Leigh
