Prayers from the North – Here for You Every Day of the Year
Prayers from the North is a year-long prayer journey toward peace of mind and inner freedom. A new prayer is published on each of the 365 days of the year.
These prayers have grown out of my own lived experience. I find inspiration for them in everyday life. At the same time, the silence of Finnish nature, the changing seasons, and the natural rhythm of life they bring have helped me return again and again to what is essential.
The worldview behind these prayers has taken shape over more than ten years of studying the principles of A Course in Miracles, applying them to my own everyday life, and finding tremendous help in them in freeing my own mind.
I have written the prayers in my own words. They reflect my current understanding of a spiritual path that can help free the mind and deepen peace of mind in ordinary everyday life.
The prayers can serve as a practical tool along that path—as a highway to peace of mind.
You will receive the prayers by email both as written text and as videos in which I read them aloud.
Each prayer offers an opportunity to pause and gradually let go of conflicting thoughts, judgment, and limiting thought patterns that obscure our own natural peace of mind.
What can these prayers help with?
Although each prayer approaches life from its own perspective, many of them explore experiences familiar to all of us:
fear, feelings of worthlessness, and self-judgment
guilt and shame
exhaustion and lack of motivation
challenges in relationships
the need to control and to escape difficult feelings
grief, loss, and uncertainty
a longing for peace
a desire for greater inner freedom.
These prayers do not offer quick fixes.
They do not seek to turn you into someone else. They do not ask you to wait for other people or your circumstances to change.
Instead, they invite you to listen more deeply to yourself. To return to what has always been true within you—beneath the noise of the mind and the world.
Gradually, this simple practice can begin to change the way you meet your own life. Yourself and other people. Your entire everyday experience. Peace of mind begins to deepen one prayer, one day, and one step at a time.
How It Works
Prayers from the North unfolds as a year-long, 365-day prayer journey.
Every day, you will receive a new prayer directly in your inbox. It comes both as written text and as a video in which you can listen to the prayer being read aloud.
During the year, some of the prayers form shorter thematic prayer series that explore different aspects of human life in greater depth, usually in periods of around ten days.
As a paid subscriber, you will receive every prayer directly in your inbox, making it easy to make the prayer journey part of your everyday life.
You can join at any point during the year and begin with the prayer that is waiting for you at that time.
You can easily cancel your subscription at any time.
There is no rush.
You can move through one prayer a day.
Or stay with the same prayer for several days.
There is no one right way.
What matters is pausing, listening, and allowing the prayers to do their quiet work.
How to begin
Begin exactly where you are right now.
Whether the current prayer is Prayer 14 or Prayer 274, begin with today’s prayer. The year-long prayer journey only starts from the beginning at the beginning of the year. If you join on March 13, you will not receive Prayer 1 in your inbox. You will receive the prayer that corresponds to that point in the year.
You do not need any previous experience with prayer, meditation, or spiritual practice.
Read the prayer slowly and peacefully.
Or close your eyes and listen to it on video.

One prayer and one moment at a time.
