Think of someone you do not like, or someone with whom you need a healing. Picture that person the happiest, most contented you have ever seen her or him to be. Hold out your arms to her or him in a wordless embrace. Pray for that person’s healing and well-being. Let your prayer flow out of you and encircle her or him with light. Hold this picture for as long as you can. Ask for the peace of God to fill both of you.
