    Francine Shapiro incuded the Sufi light stream approach because is it universal, and transcends just about everything.

    ]Although the following prayers are not not part of the Institute training, I offer it.I figure they can't hurt. And one needs something to close down unfinished EMDR sessions.

    Sufi Prayer for Peace

    written by Hazrat Inayat Khan,
    founder of The Sufi Order of the West in about 1910
    contributed by Diane Boulais

    Send thy peace oh Lord,
    which is perfect and everlasting,
    that our souls may radiate peace.
    Send thy peace oh Lord,
    that we may speak,
    act and think harmoniously.
    Send thy peace oh Lord,
    that we may be contented and thankful
    for thy bountiful gifts.
    Send thy peace oh Lord,
    that amidst our worldly strife
    we may enjoy thy bliss.
    Send thy peace oh Lord,
    that we may endure all, tolerate all,
    in the thought of thy grace and mercy.
    Send thy peace oh Lord,
    that our lives may become a divine vision
    and in thy light all darkness will vanish.
    Send thy peace oh Lord,
    that we thy children on earth
    may all unite in one family.

    May Peace Prevail On Earth

    This simple prayer can be read
    in over 80 written languages at Prayer for World Peace

    Navajo Prayer for Peace

    contributed by Diann Neil Engblade

    Before me peaceful -
    Behind me peaceful -
    Under me peaceful-
    Over me peaceful -
    Around me, peaceful.

    A Prayer for Peace

    written by Joseph Pinatauro
    contributed by Diann Neil Engblade

    All we ask, God, is to be safe from the rain,
    just warm enough in winter
    to watch the snow with a smile,
    have enough to eat so that our hunger
    will not turn us to angry beasts,
    and sanity enough to make justice
    that will not kill our love of life.

    The Great Invocation (1936)

    Let the Forces of Light bring illumination to mankind.
    Let the Spirit of Peace be spread abroad.
    May men of goodwill everywhere meet in a spirit of cooperation.
    May forgiveness on the part of all men be the keynote at this time.
    Let Power attend the efforts of the Great Ones.
    So let it be and help us to do our part.

    The Great Invocation (1945)

    From the point of Light within the Mind of God
    Let light stream forth into the minds of men.
    Let Light descend on Earth.
    From the point of Love within the Heart of God
    Let love stream forth into the hearts of men.
    May Christ return to Earth.
    From the centre where the Will of God is known
    Let purpose guide the little wills of men ?
    The purpose which the Master knows and serves.
    From the centre which we call the race of men
    Let the Plan of Love and Light work out
    And may it seal the door where evil dwells.
    Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth.

    -----

    I figure that covers most bases.

    Respectfully, --Sandra
