Pray

Spend time in prayer each day, as part of your “Daily Retreat”. Give gratitude for the miracles that happen each day and ask for support and guidance.

Tips

• Be specific, raw and real when you’re praying. Talk to the Divine God (or other spiritual guide) the way you would a good friend.
• Speak openly and honestly about your feelings, needs, concerns and desires.
• Create an altar of any size to sit in front of when praying. Place pictures, statues, trinkets and anything else that helps you enter that spiritual mood. See example below…this one is pretty extravagant.
• Praying after meditating can be powerful.
• Finish the day by recording in a journal all of the miracles that happened that day.

All of your prayers are acknowledged and answered.

Why then does it seem like some prayers are left unattended? There are two answers to this question. One is simple, while the other takes a little more explanation.

1. Simple: We were expecting the prayer to be answered our way.

We focus on that prayer being answered the way we think it should, and all the while the blessings are reigning down upon us in another way.

2. Complex: We stop it from being answered.

Using the picture below, remember that you’re the film that is creating the movie of your life. The Divine God is the projector attempting to work its bright light through you.

However, like a dirty window, our “body-film” picks up dirt and grime in the form of stress and emotional baggage. This smudges our film and gets in the way of the Divine Light’s ability to shine through the way it would like to.

And think about it…we often times pray for support for the aspects of our life that are connected to the stress we’re carrying. In order for the Divine God to make our wishes come true, it has to work through that stress on our film. This may take a while as many of us are carrying quite a bit of stress.

For example, during a recent Transformational Healing session, a woman explained that she is tired of replaying unhealthy relationship after unhealthy relationship. She always ends up with emotionally abusive men who ignore her wants and needs.

This relationship pattern is not random. It is directly due to stress she is carrying on her film.

The stress began its film-smudging process at a young age when she watched the way her mother was treated by her father and older brothers. Not only was this confusing and scary for her to watch, but day in and day out (just like a kid learning to read at school) she was taught that men are abusive and disrespectful to women. And this wrong and very limiting belief is still being played out in her life today.

When she prayers for the right man, that prayer has to fight through that smudge on her film. Not only does this make it tougher for the prayer to be answered immediately, but will be tougher for her to notice when it is answered. She is so used to looking for one type of man (abusive), that when another opportunity arrives it may go unnoticed. Or, when a sign attempts to alert her of this pattern she is carrying, it may be completely missed because she is waiting for a man to just show up magically.

The key to powerful praying is in clearing the stress that is causing the pain and strife in the first place. By doing this we not only feel better, but the Divine Projector can light up every aspect of our life more easily. Miracles happen every day. Prayers are constantly being answered.
