How Many Prayers Does It Take? #prayer #treatment #healingprayers #DivineMind #SpiritualLiving

When you begin to work on a new project, anything from baking a cake to constructing a large building, the mental process is similar. You have an idea in mind. From that idea, you decide on a set of ways that you will accomplish the task. You take steps forward to complete the action. You continue until your idea has come to completion. This may take minutes, hours, days, months, or years. But, the idea here is that a thought does not come into complete fruition until it manifests. So, too, is the idea of prayer treatment.

We are human. As humans, we are result oriented. We do not practice wishcraft in the sense that we can sit down in the middle of the kitchen and “hope” for a cake to bake itself. We actually must do the task at hand to see its resolve. So, also, is the task of praying for results.
If you have set out to pray for healing for someone and do not see results, you continue on the pathway toward the manifestation of healing until you see a result. How often you pray is dependent upon your level of trust in your prayer. When people pray continually, they are saying to the Universe and to God, “You don’t hear my prayer!” So, continual prayer may be more to resolve the fear of one’s own prayer being ineffective, than it is out of necessity for the Universal power of Good to take action.

Jesus said, “If you say to the mountain be moved, and believe it with all of your heart, the mountain will move.” So, nowhere in the bible do we see Jesus repeating prayers. He stepped out in faith and simply believed that the power of the universe that manifests our prayers will hearken unto the voice of the faithful.

Our process is more about ridding our minds of the fear that we are ineffective and trusting the prayer is answered—NOT BY US—but by the power of God that manifests in the universe as change, as prosperity, as healing, and as complete peace.

So, the answer to the question: how many prayers does it take—is ONE. However, as humans, we may consider that we treat for a condition one time a day, each day, until we see results. The rest of the time we should use affirmations to appease our own disbelief and continue to trust in the One Power that created all.

Here is an example of this kind of prayer and an affirmation:

“This is what I know to be true. God is all in all. God is in the ocean, the sky, and in the smallest cell of the human body. I know this because all that is in the manifest universe is a result of one thought, one intention, and uses the same energy that manifested the Universe. Therefore, you and I are made from the same energy that created all. There is only one Energy. Knowing this, I see (the person I’m praying for) completely whole. Every cell of his/her body is created in perfection and with love. Any manifestation otherwise is an illusion. (The person) is already healed in my mind now. And I’m thankful for the truth of this prayer. I release is to the Law that knows no failure and moves and acts through me and my intention NOW. And so it is.”

The affirmation: (The person’s name) is now and always has been, a divine reflection of God, a child made in the image of God, in the image of perfection—now.

Prayer for Someone Else? #spiritualadvice #DivineMind #ScienceofMind #SOM #SpiritualLiving

In praying for someone else, what I realize is that the person I am praying for actually is myself. I need my faith to increase to be an effective prayer warrior. I must be convinced totally in the idea that whatever it is I desire in thought has already express in Divine Mind and must manifest because of my belief.

This seed that I plant in the subjective mind is the seed that tends toward manifestation.
There is no wishing in Spirit, nor hoping. To effectively pray for another person, first, your mind must be inline with the wholeness and prosperity that you are.

Then you can begin to confess what you know to be true for someone else, who is sick or suffering in someway.

You must see this truth with unwavering faith.

The truth for this individual has already happened, no matter what manifestations are present.

In fact, when I pray for someone, I try not to look at the negative manifestations or listen to any complaining, therein.

I simply know my truth and sit in silence with that truth until I see it clearly in my mind.
This is effective prayer.

What Exactly Do You Believe? #spiritualadvice #DivineMind #ScienceofMind #SOM #SpiritualLiving

In times of desperation, sickness, and need, most of us extend our thoughts toward or beg some sort of outside source that will help change our negative condition. I have heard the story that some people who typically do not believe or have any conviction in a God, feel guilty for praying only when in need. If we have to be clear and realistic, most people only pray when there is a need.

So, we wonder if prayer, in those times, is even effective, since most of the people praying, do not really take the time to undergird their faith for struggles such as these.

Truly, prayer only has effect when we take the time daily to realize what is the nature of God—complete wholeness, total abundance, and perfect love. If we trust that this is our image of God in this universe, then we know we are also entitled to these beliefs about ourselves. So, when we find a glitch in our thinking and some manifestation of negativity appears in our lives, it is not to a deity outside of us that we should pray to, to change this negativity. God has already put the universe in order.

It is our minds that have malfunctioned in times such as these. So, for prayer to work, we must put our minds back in order. We must tell ourselves that we are already whole, complete, and created in love. And, we must turn away from all symptoms that appear otherwise. The more we are convinced of our true nature or anyone else’s true nature—NOT THE NEGATIVE SYMPTOM—the more our prayer of wholeness, prosperity, and love will take effect.

So, in essence, prayer is not an asking or a begging for change. Prayer gives space for the natural condition of every human being to become what it has been intended to be!
Let your prayer be this:

“Spirit, Source, God—all in all, the one who has called the universe into being and has founded it in love, wholeness, and abundance, we know that everything exists through you, in you, and as you!
So, as we are a part of your loving creation, we, too, are whole, abundant, and filled with love. This is our divine nature. This is our steadfast belief. 
To any negative condition, we consider it null and void. We give precedence and space in our minds for our wholeness and nothing else. Lastly, we call unto Divine Mind to produce any need extraneous to what has already been created. For in the Mind of God is the Creative Matter in which all things manifest. And so it is!”

Accepting Your Bliss! #Intentions #spiritualadvice

A good spiritual student generally sets intentions and creates affirmations, to repeat in times when an intention looks bleak and life takes a little more than we expected from our mental stability. A great spiritual student, however, doesn’t wait for the manifestation of an intention to live his/her bliss. Creating a great life is about believing you already have bounty, love, and prosperity—looking for the good in everything and finding it!

The more you live your dream, before any manifestation comes to pass, the more bliss you will feel, daily. This is the key to manifesting anything in life. Ernest Holmes says (paraphrased) to keep praying or treating until you see manifestations of your dream come to pass.

The key point in his instruction is “to treat until you can SEE.” Understand that when you see a manifestation in your mind clearly, you have already leapt right to the point of creating bliss in your life.

The five steps to manifesting any dream is to 1). Acknowledge Spirit (however you define It). 2). Acknowledge that you are one with this energy. 3). Be thankful for your creative power and God’s gifts everywhere present. 4). Reach into the subjective energy of the universe and actually turn unused energy—ready to be shaped and formed by you—into something that benefits both you and the world! 5). Release your intention from your own mind control, believing it has already happened now, and let your seed grow according to the Law of Divine Mind. (This final process is very similar to planting a seed in the earth. You plant the seed, water the seed, and God grow the tree!)

As you can see, a student of Truth can do all the steps of treatment for a clear manifestation of a dream, but only a GREAT student can “see a TREE in the possibility of a SEED.”

Today's suggested book is a work that Spirit practically wrote through me. I had never felt such a divine connection to God when I penned this book. It is a complete manual about life and how to live it spiritually. When I reread the book, I'm always amazed at how much of what I wrote I didn't understand until now.  Any spiritual student will love this book! Buy this or any of my books on Amazon here.

Five Steps to a Positive Disposition #positiveoutlook #cherishthenow #goodmemories

Here are five steps that will change your life, will keep you thinking positive thoughts, and will help you define a better and healthier lifestyle:
  1. First thing in the morning, begin to look around you for your blessings. They may be small and large. Recite them aloud! The cat, the dog, my children, my husband, my wife, my friends, my home, my job, a favorite piece of art, the sunshine, the moon, the looming clouds, the expanding universe, etc.
  2. Know that the Source that made all of your blessings is also inside of you—the very fabric of you. This power of good that created all that is everything present made you perfect, loving, and prosperous! Claim it aloud!
  3. Say YES to life! See the possibility of your day being the best or better than you can even imagine. Know this for yourself and believe it with all your heart.
  4. Be thankful for your blessings! Say them aloud!
  5. Release your day to the power that created everything! Trust that, even if something unexpected occurs, it is for your best and perfect good. Don’t let the evidence of negativity effect your positive outlook, no matter how hard it tries to make you believe that your internal believe is untrue. Believe, no matter the circumstance! Whatever it is you are going through, you have a positive, loving, compassionate, guiding hand holding yours.
Remember to practice all of the above daily. A prosperous outlook takes practice and rehearsal. I promise, though, you will see change in your life and those around you within weeks.

Overcome Anxiety By Manifesting the Divine #anxiety #treatment #prayer #spiritualadvice

Yesterday, I awoke from what seemed to be a negative dream about rejection. For the first hour or two of my morning, I wrestled with feelings contrary to my belief and life. I contacted a couple of friends to pray with me—friends whom I knew would pray in a positive manner, knowing my wholeness. In times past, I may have acquiesced to the bad feelings and fell into a slump for the entire day and night. Instead, in a matter of two hours, I felt as if the negativity had lifted completely. I will share with you what I did to overcome the negative force that often besets us before we’ve even had a chance to awaken to a new and fresh day.

The day before my negative dream, I had a great audition, which garnered me a callback for three musicals. I was excited about this event in my life. What I didn’t realize was that my subconscious was also concerned and nervous about the next phase of auditions. I recognized this as I sat with the anxiety, listening to it, and inquiring of it.

Also, my boyfriend called and had made tentative plans with a friend for the evening. He included me, but his plans for me to accompany them felt hesitant. I suspected had imposed my own fears into the conversation. Nonetheless, the first half an hour of my day felt as if I had a black cloud looming over me, like impending, gray rain.

Not only did I, immediately, text two friends to begin to treat for me, I also called (not texted) mi novio to ask him about his intent for the evening. Having the opportunity to hear his voice and tell him that I had anxiety, perhaps for no good reason, gave him the opportunity to clarify his intent and encourage me with very calming and beautiful words.
Next, I said this prayer. “In this moment I know this: source is all that is around me, in me, and communicating with me in, in my dreams, in my relationships, and in my awakened state. I am one as this powerful force of enlightenment and am thankful for being a conduit of this great energy, firmly grounded in love, only love.

“I reach out of my human emotions for a moment to sit with myself and observe my life without need, fear, and any earthly desire. I see that my life is complete, because God is complete. My life has purpose because Source is purpose. I have the wisdom already to be and know all that I need to know in this moment, also, to work through anything that I sense, feel, or manifest as a result of this anxious feeling. I release my treatment to the Law. And so it is!”

I sat quietly with some soft music, allowing my words, my treatment, and the prayers of my friends to gently embrace my heart. Almost immediately, I began to feel better. I became liberated completely an hour after the prayer. I sensed a complete disconnection from the past fear, anxiety, and any attachment to the future.

The entire morning was a manifestation of the Divine. I had the opportunity to recreate, that which was an old story. I did this successfully and felt strong, afterward.

#Prayer or Coercion

Yesterday, I came upon a paragraph in a book that set my entire mind into a spin. I took it personally, because, I believe I’m a perfectionist at heart. I want to do everything correctly, even pray. The paragraph from Ernest Holmes read: “The moment we think we have to pray to compel something, that same moment we are exercising the willpower which is now up against a proposition it cannot possibly meet. Prayer is not mental coercion; it is not willpower, and it is not concentration. We shall never arrive at a correct method of spiritual treatment nearly by learning how to concentrate for any length of time on a particular object. That is not what we are striving to arrive at.”

Suddenly, I looked back at my many hours of meditation and prayerful thought recently and wondered if what I really wanted to do was convince God to give me something out of selfishness. I had to take a step back for a moment, because the thought of being selfish in prayer took the breath out of me. As you know, your breath (the prana) is your life.

That evening, I attended a great class that focused mostly on prayer treatment. I brought up my question. What I began to understand about prayer was not new, but certainly clarified in my subconscious exactly how to pray without feeling like I’m taking something that isn’t mine.

You see, we can’t pray for something that we already have. In spirit, I am already whole, complete, prosperous and completely loved. If I am the arm of God in this earth reaching out from Spirit as a creative conduit of God, then I already have the attributes of God at my access—completely. What I don’t have is all of this matter in consciousness as an effect in my life. This is why we pray or treat for the effect—Not to change God, but to change our minds to be one with God!

Only once in the Christian bible do we hear Jesus asking God for something. This one time is in the Garden of Gethsemane. Every other time Jesus prays for a miracle, he simply sees his oneness with God and produces wine, bread, fish, and weightlessness as he walks on water. He had no grown-up Christmas list for God—just a complete knowledge of who He was in God’s Creation. This alone created mastery in prayer. We need to understand it to be successful in our own prayer life.

If we go to Spirit with a set of grievances and a Christmas list of items we want, Spirit doesn’t compute these specifics. We came to the this earth fully fortified to create (as we are made in the image of Creator God, just like the Master Jesus) and manifest that which we need to survive and have a purpose, which all of heaven is willing to help us with.

However, when you say to spirit, I want a tall, rich, muscular guy with blonde hair and blue eyes, Spirit doesn’t hear any of that. Spirit hears things like, “Attract to my life the best spiritual partner with a kind and compassionate heart, as you know better than I what I need in my life. My heart is open to this right and perfect person, as I know my prayer goes forth with perfect grace, as I plant the seed into the subjective mind knowing it will not come back to me void.”

This kind of prayer can be answered, because the seed from which you pray has a life of its own, like planting a tomato seed. You can’t expect to get a carrot when you plant a tomato. So, when you plant a seed, you really have only an idea and an objective behind a natural law that already exists. You have no way of forcing or coercing that seed to grow. You can nurture it. You can water it. You can keep it safe from pestilence. But you cannot make it go from seed to bearing fruit in two days. It’s not possible. You would have to go against the Law of Nature to do that.

Many of our prayers are trying to do exactly what I just described. What we must do with prayer is find the common denominator with Spiritual power and our desire. To do that, we must create a way for us to have life more abundantly, without depriving anyone else of something that is rightfully theirs. We must create a template of perfect love to nurture, knowing that only Spirit knows what to do, how do it and does it by means of our words and actions.

Raymond Charles Barker says his prayer of prosperity like this: “Spirit gives me the ability to do what I want to do, when I want to do it, with whom I want to do it, in the way I want to do it.”

Notice that nowhere in this prayer does Mr. Barker talk about money. He simply speaks to the law of prosperity in his life, which is brilliant. God doesn’t know money. God knows abundance and perfect love for you. This kind of prayer will be answered, you can be assured of it.

Coming Up: More about prayer!

The Art of Positive Thinking

As far back as 1915, authors like Eleanor H. Porter were trying to instill a positive outlook into children through good literature. Her character Pollyanna in the book by the same title has actually become a popular term in the English language for someone with an optimistic outlook. Can you imagine writing something so profound, that one of your characters actually becomes a part of a language?
I share about the Pollyanna Theory because I am an avid writer about sending a positive message and having a hopeful spin to share. I think that’s why I watch ABC’s World News Tonight. The newscast seems to highlight the best in the news, as well as the high points in the tragedies. But even then, the broadcast always looks for the hero or heroine. You have to admire news and reporters who are consistent users of the Pollyanna Theory. I would much rather be uplifted, than burdened by the constant barrage of negativity in the news.

This leads me to my point today. How do we wake up every day with a positive outlook and an uplifted spirit to share? This can be a difficult challenge for most people, as the first thing we often face is chores, deadlines, and negativity. But let’s use the Pollyanna theory to make change in our outlook today.

I had an interesting challenge a couple days ago. I had a friend—let’s call her Sharon—who had a hard day. She came to me with some disparaging news and a heartfelt complaint about how I had been dealing with a certain aspect of our friendship. As always, the first thing that flares up is my Ego. We were both in defensive mode. But, I decided to sit back and listen and observe. A minister friend’s theory passed through my mind: “When a person feels comfortable enough to share a burdensome issue with you, it is a compliment, not a protest.”

I kept that in mind as I listened with more compassion. I suggested, when she was finished, that we say a prayer and ask God to guide us and help us figure out the next step in our relationship. As we prayed, I felt the walls and barriers come crashing down. We both shared the same spiritual outlook.

How wonderful it was to give our burden to God in that moment. We both ended up sharing what we were truly afraid of—abandonment—and had a good cry and a heartfelt, healing embrace. This happened in the morning before I had some life coaching clients. I had a choice: would I carry the problem and solution with me, or would I let it go and let spirit lift me up with this issue to find a great message for my clients? I chose the second choice. It became apparent, when a sense of well-being rushed over my body, that God, angels, and spirits were guiding my course of action with grace and poise. If I could let go as I was doing in that moment—every day—no matter what the challenge—I could always feel hopeful and filled with love to share.

I challenge you today to take something that is bothersome and causing you anxiety and find the authentic, compassionate point of view. Look from all sides to find spirit’s purpose for this challenge in your life. When you discover the issue in its distilled version, then let it go to God and to the law of spirit, which willingly will move it toward love. You have very little to do with the next step. You have more power in keeping a positive attitude about your challenge, than if you keep running over the negativity in your mind like a bad movie looping over and over.
Trust that you will know in your heart what to do next. Keep your mind and soul open to the flow of good always available from Unlimited and Loving God!
