| The power of prayer is life-changing and I can | | | | What is it that you are praying for? |
| honestly say that I have never felt such peace | | | | This has to be positively written, because God IS |
| and certainty of my connection to my own soul | | | | only positive things. |
| as I do now, therefor I want to share this with | | | | For example: |
| you. | | | | Write: God is PERFECT HEALTH. God is |
| When I speak about prayer, I don't mean that I | | | | FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE. God is PEACE. God is |
| kneel, fold my hands and beg and plead to God in | | | | MEANINGFULNESS. Anything that you desire in |
| a desperate way; not at all! | | | | your life right now, write it down and |
| For me, prayer is the most empowering start on | | | | acknowledge that God is those things. |
| a day I can have, and the perfect end to a day. I | | | | So if you are depressed for example; what it is |
| usually always end my days with reading "A | | | | that you want to experience and feel instead of |
| course in miracles", and the feelings I get from | | | | depression? If you are broke, what would you |
| that is so strong that it moves me to tears quite | | | | want to experience instead of that? If you worry |
| often. Tears of joy and gratitude that is. | | | | and feel fear, the what is the opposite of that? |
| I remember many, many years ago when I went | | | | Step 2: |
| through some really heavy stuff with a lot of | | | | Unification. |
| emotional pain, I used to ask God (or higher | | | | Because we are made in the likeness of God; that |
| power/source/divine spirit or whatever you want | | | | mean that what we just described God to be, we |
| to call it) "why my life was such a mess" and | | | | must be too. Recognize that Oneness you have |
| "why I was tuck in misery" so to speak- I was | | | | with God. You ARE that what God IS. Recognize |
| crying and begging God to help me, but what I | | | | it, despite what your physical eyes are telling you. |
| didn't know at the time was that there is a "right | | | | Step 3: |
| way" to pray, a way which Jesus, Buddha and | | | | Realization. |
| other highly evolved people have prayed, and that | | | | Set the intention to be the outlet and channel for |
| is called "affirmative prayer" and I'm telling you-- it | | | | that which you are praying for. Describe the |
| has changed my life. I began to ask what I can | | | | fulfillment of the desire, how does it feel now that |
| do to help myself, how I can be that person I | | | | you are FINANCIALLY INDEPENDENT, have |
| wanted to become. | | | | PERFECT HEALTH, INNER PEACE or whatever |
| Back in those years when I was struggling to | | | | you wrote in step 1? |
| survive my darkest hours I one day asked for | | | | Write it down, describe it in the first person and in |
| help in a different way and from that moment | | | | present tense: |
| on, everything changed and I was lifted up, | | | | "I AM PEACEFUL, FINANCIALLY INDEPENDENT.. |
| spiraled forward, upwards and I was finally set | | | | etc and it feels: wonderful, free, content.." etc. |
| free. I asked how I could become the channel of | | | | Step 4: |
| the qualities I knew God to be as you can see in | | | | Thanksgiving. |
| step 1 later on where I describe the process of | | | | Know that the prayer has now been heard AND |
| affirmative prayer, but I wasn't aware of that at | | | | answered, and feel the gratitude of that |
| the time. In hindsight I can see that the little | | | | knowledge. Bask in it and know that your needs |
| change I made in perspective, changed | | | | are met NOW. Feel gratitude for all that you |
| everything. A little tweak in how I channeled my | | | | asked for, because it is already yours. Know that |
| energy. | | | | the positive change is now happening in your life. |
| I am not religious at all, and it doesn't matter | | | | Step 5: |
| what faith you have, whatever you believe in; if | | | | Release. Release it to God, let go and let God |
| you are having troubles right now, I invite you to | | | | take care of it. |
| do this prayer-- and after a while, if you continue | | | | It is done unto you in a perfect way and you just |
| to grow your connection with your inner self | | | | surrender everything to God. A transformation is |
| (God) this will become a natural way of starting | | | | taking place NOW. Release the matter to God. |
| your day and things will begin to clear up for you, | | | | After a while, you learn to do this in your mind, it |
| the path forward will be revealed to you and you | | | | becomes natural and you don't need to look at |
| will be able to recognize the hand of God in your | | | | the steps in order to do this, although I write |
| life. When you have grown into it, it only takes a | | | | down almost everything I communicate to/with |
| minute to do and sets a good note to the day | | | | God, it makes it clear and and permanent. |
| you have before you. | | | | Your thoughts and feelings will be written and you |
| You don't have to be having troubles to do this at | | | | can let go of the thoughts easily because you |
| all. I often only say thanks for using me as a | | | | know on a subconscious level that if you ever |
| channel for whatever it is that I think I need at | | | | need to go back, it's stored in your notebook and |
| the moment. | | | | there it is, you don't have to hold on to them |
| I show appreciation for the presence of God in | | | | anymore. |
| my life so to speak. | | | | An important step is the step of letting go. There |
| | | | | is a higher power within us all that I call God, that |
| So take a few minutes and give it a go if you | | | | WILL answer every heartfelt prayer from you. |
| have something in your life that is bringing you | | | | When we pray in a positive way like this we are |
| down in some way, if there is something in your | | | | acknowledging God to be only good, because God |
| life that you would like to change. | | | | doesn't know about lack or negativity. |
| "Affirmative prayer" is a five-step-process and I | | | | We are in this way opening ourselves up for the |
| will here describe the short version of it. | | | | "Kingdom of heaven", that is already waiting for |
| By that I mean that every step is equally | | | | us, within ourselves. |
| important and it is your own lever of | | | | This prayer will leave you with a feeling of relief, |
| consciousness that determines where you are on | | | | and sometimes an indescribable inner peace will |
| your own personal journey through life. Every | | | | come over you, and you feel as if the heaviness |
| step can be studied separately and I recommend | | | | has been lifted from you. |
| it of course, because I know how powerful it | | | | And it has, I can tell you that. It has. There is no |
| is.Even if you don't want to study it further, you | | | | need for us to be burdened with pain and |
| don't have to, because it will work regardless. | | | | struggle, we can always turn to the universe for |
| Step 1: | | | | help. |
| Recognition that God IS. | | | | |
