A big part of prayer is the creative visualization aspect. You must visualize and hold the picture in your mind of the best solution for that person and situation or yourself. You must not waver in that thought. You also must recognize the divine and true nature of that person, which only recognizes the perfect balance and wellness. When you speak out loud you also activate a tremendous power of kinetic energy, and electro-magnetic power that immediately acts on the environment around you, inside of you, or for another person. The universe is made completely of energy, energized particles, energized waves, sound waves, electro-magnetic fields, light etc. It makes sense then that you can create and impact that energetic field with your words, thoughts and the pictures in your mind. So act accordingly. Being willing to be lead in prayer is valuable. Also it takes recognizing that divine nature of yourself. You are divine.

What you can't do with prayer is to control someone's will or create a situation that will be harmful or doesn't represent the best solution for them. For you the best solution might be that he/she loves you but that might not be what is best energetic solution for the person. You cannot force someone with prayer. Also many times, the best solution for you is that the person gets well and recovers but for he/she the best solution might be that he/she passes over and leaves this planet. Also many times you can recognize someone's divine nature but she/he doesn't believe that a) she/he can be healed at all and b) that her/his belief is not open that you are divine and can activate healing in her/him.

Also your words and her/his words can immediately negate the healing power of the prayer. For an example, after you pray, that person might then say, "I don't think anyone can heal me at this point but thanks for trying." Another example of words, you might say, "Gee, I hope that works," which expresses doubt and uncertainty into the energetic field. You must act as if the prayer worked the moment that you spoke and prayed. You also must understand that each and every being is responsible for her/his own existence and life. Consider yourself a conduit, and when you pray you' re activating kinetic energy and a healing frequency, but it is the person's responsibility to draw in the healing. copyright 2006 Yoga Kat
