Do this meditation whenever you wish to send positive energy to the father figures in your life and beyond…
Dad, wherever you are, I send you blessings for happiness in this lifetime…
Oh Fathers, Papas and Dads of the world!
Whether you planned eagerly for it and wanted your children with all your heart…
Or you entered fatherhood by circumstance with complete uncertainty…
Whether you sacrificed some dreams to raise your children…
Or raised your dreams and sacrificed being a father…
Whether you were overjoyed or overwhelmed by the idea of being a Dad…
Whether you left heirloom tools or heirloom wounds for them to inherit…
Whether you provided your time or your resources…
Whether you were a role model or an example of what not to do…
Whether you were always there for them or rarely around…
Whether you were successful or struggling…
Whether you thought you did it all right or got it all wrong…
Whether you cared with all your might or didn’t appear to give a damn…
Whether you provided the absolute maximum or the bare minimum…
The cosmic lessons of your fatherhood were perfect.
All that you did and all that you didn’t do – were part of your awakening.
All that you were and all that you weren’t – were part of your children’s awakening.
So thank you dearest fathers of the world!
Bless you for being in that sacred role.
You are forever someone’s father… papa… dad.
And thank you dearest father of my world!
Bless you for being in that sacred role.
You are forever my father… papa… dad.
