The Power of Prayer
Often times when someone is in the midst of developing their psychic abilities, they tend to focus on the lessons they are trying to learn. How do I connect to guidance? When should I meditate? What exercises should I do? Who can I practice with? Am I grounded yet? But the most basic way to practice spiritual development is to pray.
Prayer can take any form. You can sing, talk, chant, anything that vocalizes your heart to the universe. I had one of the most wonderful spiritual experiences of my life when I heard a Baha’i woman sing a prayer in Farsi. Although I couldn’t understand the words, the spirit of that prayer touched my soul and opened my heart.
Prayer is our direct link to God. As a child I had to memorize many different prayers for my catechism classes. This never felt like communication to me, but just another recitation needed to pass a class. As I got older I started to talk to God. Are you there God, it’s me, Linda (with apologies to Judy Blume!) And, guess what, that’s prayer too! As a matter of fact, it’s a much more direct way to connect to spiritual energy. So while you are working on becoming a more enlightened individual, don’t forget the basics, talk to God, open your mouth and lift up your voice in prayer.

Hey Linda! This was one aspect in my present path I had considerable difficulty in coming to terms with. With an abusive religious upbringing, my vision even of God was not a favorable one. I could never understand that if Christ supposedly died for our sins, why is it one had to ask for forgiveness each time or risk spending eternity in hell? Fortunately, I have been granted a very open mind since this journey began and I will proudly say that I do spend time in prayer, talking to the Creator. The most important part of that is ensuring that I do express my gratitude verbally and give credit for any developing skills or abilities to a great and divine Creator. As a child I wasn't so sure but do know now that my prayers are heard. Thanks for reminding me of this, Linda.
