Introduction to Prayers

What is Prayer?

Prayer is defined in the dictionary as...

Why pray?

"Ask and ye shall receive" is mainly how prayer can benefit you. In the inner worlds, just as in the physical world, it is hard to receive something unless you ask for it first. Here are some other benefits of prayer:

* Feeling of Security: When in prayer, most people feel less alone... it helps them to feel safe (when times are tough), to feel like someone cares (when no one else can help), and to feel comforted (when they feel let down by others). Those who pray know there is no problem that cannot be solved with the help of God.

* Increased Peace of Mind: Those who pray... know how to "let go and let God" help them to deal with life's challenges. They know that they are not alone and that a caring presence is by their side, silently working on their behalf. They can feel peaceful, secure in the knowledge that having asked, they will receive.

* Connection to Guidance: Those who pray... end up developing a deep connection to the source of their truth, to their Higher Self and their inner knowingness. This connection to inner guidance can help them in practical, outer ways: in decision making, in problem solving, and in dealing with difficult people.

* Greater Self Esteem: Those who pray... grow in self love, self esteem, and self confidence. They know that they only exist because God loves them. Knowing that God loves them, they know that they are worthy of love, respect, and kind treatment. God does not make junk... only masterpieces which improve over time.

* Becoming Unconditional Love: Those who pray... can directly experience unconditional love, the complete caring for the well-being of another without expectations or restrictions. They increase their capacity to love others and to experience more coming back to them. Fear fades as love grows in their hearts.

When to pray?

Those who gain the most benefit from prayer do it daily. Those who pray daily usually do so at the same time each day. They find this helps them to get into the "prayer habit!" They look forward to the quiet time of prayer.

When they go to pray each day at the appointed time, they feel their body automatically relaxing, their minds becoming quieter, and their emotions becoming calmer. They notice their prayers taking them ever deeper into meditation... where guidance, insights, and knowingness come more easily.

Where to pray?

The power that comes from praying daily at the same time is increased by doing that prayer in the same place. Ideally, where you pray should be somewhere quiet, clean, and beautiful. Although many religions teach one to close their eyes during prayer, praying with eyes open in a lovely place can enhance the experience.

Sweet smelling incense and relaxing music can also add to the prayerful feeling. The most important thing about where to pray is that you can feel safe, comfortable, and undisturbed whilst praying.

How to pray?

Those who gain the most benefit from praying give it their full attention.

They keep their bodies relaxed and comfortable so that pain or discomfort cannot distract them. They keep their minds focused on the prayer they are using so that their attention is fixed on God/Goddess/AllThatIs. They allow peace and calmness to flow their emotions. When they give themselves over to prayer, they know the peace and perfection of God.

"The expectations of life depend upon diligence; the mechanic that would perfect his work must first sharpen his tools." (Confucius)
