Real Magic

It's true that prayer can elicit healing, and it can change events and lives, but this occurs only with the deep resonance of the heart behind it and the recognition of the One True Source of Power. Again, we can reflect on the words of Gregg Braden, who's known for his research into the bridge between science and spirituality. In his book Secrets of the Lost Mode of Prayer, he says:

As modern science continues to validate a relationship between our inner thoughts, feelings, and dreams with the outer world that surrounds us, we open the door to a powerful bridge that links the world of our prayers with that of our experience. In light of such research, what is the potential of applying such subtle principles of prayer to an outcome of collective healing, global peace, and graceful transition through the challenges that await us in the new millennium?

Braden reminds us that prayer is a practice requiring responsibility and caution. Larry Dossey, M.D., wrote an entire book called Be Careful What You Pray For. I've witnessed many prayers come true-some with miraculous results. I've even had many of my own prayers come true with amazing accuracy. The trap occurs when we introduce the ego and its desire to control and avoid situations in life. Not all prayers are answered in the way we expect, and we aren't always able to manage the immense weight of a prayer that has come true.

Prayer as a spiritual path isn't about getting what you want, but about learning to love and bless the world as it is. It's about coming into right relationship with The Sacred and surrendering to a higher order in life. Even scientific studies have shown that the most potent prayer remains Thy will be done. Your greatest prayers manifest when you learn to align yourself with the will and flow of The Sacred.

Prayer as a spiritual practice is a spiritual experience. When prayer is your spiritual practice, you learn to think from the heart and deepen your sense of gratitude, intention, and surrender. When prayer is your practice, you may set regular times in your day for prayers of formal and informal types. Most important, you realize that you are co-creating your life with the Divine Energies of this world. Let your mind be in conscious contact with The Sacred throughout each and every day.
