I learned this prayer many years ago when I was a member of the Johrei Fellowship.

Johrei is a spiritual practice based on the focusing of universal life energy, also referred to as “divine” or spiritual light.,

I believe that the same divine light I learned to channel so many years ago is now being channeled through the Alchemy of my Gongs.
