A Prayer for the Wonder of Our Bodies

  בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה אֲדֹנָי אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם אֲשֶׁר יָצַר אֶת הָאָדָם בְּחָכְמָה וּבָרָא בוֹ נְקָבִים נְקָבִים חֲלוּלִים חֲלוּלִים. גָּלוּי וְיָדוּעַ לִפְנֵי כִּסֵּא  כְּבוֹדֶךָ שֶׁאִם יִפַתֵּחַ אֶחָד מֵהֶם אוֹ יִסָּתֵם אֶחָד מֵהֶם אִי אֶפְשָׁר לְהִתְקַיֵּם וְלַעֲמֹד לְפָנֶיךָ. בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה אֲדֹנָי רוֹפֵא כָל בָּשָׂר וּמַפְלִיא לַעֲשׂוֹת

Barukh Atah Adonay Eloheynu Melekh Ha-olam, asher yatzar et ha-adam b’khokhmah u-vara vo n’kavim n’kavim khalulim khalulim. Galui v’yadua lif’nei khisei khvodekha she-im ippate’ach ekhad meyhem o yisatem ekhad meyhem i efshar l’hitkayem v’la’amod l’fanekha. Barukh atah Adonay rofey khol basar u-mafli la’asot.

Blessed are You, our God, Spirit of the World, who wisely formed the human body. You created it with openings here and vessels there. You know well that should even one of these stay opened, or one of those stay closed, we could not long survive. Blessed are You, Healer of all flesh, who makes the wonders of creation.

Prayers for the morning, part 3: Body

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, אֲשֶׁר יָצַר אֶת הָאָדָם בְּחָכְמָה, וּבָרָא בוֹ נְקָבִים נְקָבִים, חֲלוּלִים חֲלוּלִים, גָלוּי וְיָדוּעַ לִפְנֵי כִסֵּא כְבוֹדֶךָ שֶאִם יִפָּתֵחַ אֶחָד מֵהֶם, אוֹ יִסָּתֵם אֶחָד מֵהֶם, אִי אֶפְשַׁר לְהִתְקַיֵים וְלַעֲמוֹד לְפָנֶיךָ: בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, רוֹפֵא כָל בָּשָׂר, וּמַפְלִיא לַעֲשׂוֹת:

(Transliteration)

Blessed are You, Adonai our God
Who forms the human body with wisdom
And creates within it a miraculous combination
Of organs and arteries, tissues and sinews.
It is known before Your throne of glory
That if one of these were to be open where it should be closed
Or closed where it should be open
We would not be able to stand before you and offer praises.
Blessed are You, Adonai, creator of embodied miracles!

[touch hands to your own forehead, if it feels naturalMay you be blessed with wisdom, knowledge and understanding. May your intellect take you far on your journey. You have been blessed with reason and free will, it is your call every day to use these gifts.

[throat] May you be blessed with voice. May you learn the complex nature of truth-telling.
The ability to speak the truth in love is something that requires honesty, empathy and care. You are challenged every day to seek the joy that comes with sharing your truth
compassionately, as well as listening to others.

[heart] May your heart be full and blessed with love. May you know the agony of heartbreak, as it is intertwined with the elation of true love. Your heart is a strong and resilient organ, one that will be with you until the end of your time on earth. May you heed the wisdom of your heart and always trust the truth it tells.

[abdomenYou are blessed with the gift of sexuality. May you always remember that you
are a beloved child of god. Your body is sacred and belongs to you alone. May you live into
the full expression of your identity as a human being, embracing your true sexual and
gender identity. The gift of sexuality brings with it many rewards as well as great
responsibility. May you always retain power over your own being, striving toward
mutually fulfilling and just relationship.

[hands] When you were a baby, your tiny hands were your first contact with the world.
Before you could see more than a few feet in front of your face, you grasped the finger of
your loved ones. You catch yourself with your hands when you fall, and you express love
and comfort to others with them too. May your hands be gentle and strong. May you use
them to carry light into the darkness and rest to the weary. May your hands always find
the place of greatest need, beginning with your own, and may the creator of all things hold
you in the palm of her hand wherever you go.

[wrap arms around whole body] May you be blessed on your journey. May you remember that growth happens on the journey and that you are never alone.

May you always remember that you are a whole person, that each of these parts work together. We offer our blessings upon you, body, mind and spirit. May you be guided by compassion and truth, justice and love. May you find rest on the journey, always remembering where you came from, being mindful that your ancestors stand behind you, whether we are present on earth or have gone back to the Soul of the World. May you be blessed in all things and carry blessings with you wherever you go.
