There are many variations/translations of this prayer, but this version is one of my favorites. It is powerful to meditate upon its words and hold them as intentions. It is also effective to "tap along" to the statements using the EFT Meridian tapping points (you can download a free Tapping chart in our "Free Stuff" section at left.)
