Nehes Em Hotep an ancient Kemetic phrase meaning Awaken In Peace.

In this shared time together I pray on prayer beads. Each bead, each breath, each phrase... an offering. A portal. A pathway home.

In Catholic tradition, there are rosaries used to pray the Our Father & Hail Mary. There are 54 beads around a standard rosary, not including the 5 beads that hang from the bottom. 54 x 2 = 108. Hmmm... coincidence? I think not. (Smirk)

Long before rosaries were prayed in churches, 108 prayer beads were used by mystics, sages & seekers across India, Tibet & parts of Africa. In Hinduism, Buddhism, & other wisdom traditions, 108 has always held sacred mathematical & cosmic significance representing the wholeness of existence.

In Numerology, both 108 & 54 reduce to 9 (1+0+8 = 9 & 5+4 = 9). 9 speaks of completion, initiation, & divine gestation of something ripening in the unseen.

Perhaps these numbers & our use of beads to pray, to feel, to remember are more than a pattern. Perhaps they are an ancient rhythm... still pulsing in our hands.

Thank you for existing & allowing me to share time & energy with you. You are precious.

Blessings & miracles, Magnificent One.
