God In Human Form

Praying With Awareness

Remember dear one, we are constantly praying throughout our day in every moment that exists. Prayers are a combination of our thoughts, words, emotions and feelings. All prayers form "pictures" in our mind and cause certain "feelings" to rise within our hearts.

The language that directs our magnets attraction, comes from the "combination" of the feelings within our heart …
and the pictures that we see in our minds eye. This is what determines what our magnet brings to us for experiences.

   We can "choose" the way we pray. There are certain ways of praying that will call grander experiences to us. It is wise to gain an awareness of "how" we are praying … sowe can understand what our prayers are really calling to us. We can then intentionallyform our prayers to create and attract experiences of happiness and Heaven on Earth.

   This understanding will show us how to call what we desire when saying specific prayers. When we stop in our day to pray … it is very important for us to see in our
minds eye and feel in our heart and body what it is that we are wanting and desire. This pertains to every thing we find ourselves praying for in life … be it health, our
relationships, the weight of our bodies, jobs, abundance, prosperity, or whatever it may
be.

   Many of us are praying for the "opposite" of what we want … without even realizing it. Below are a few examples to help us understand different types of prayer. The first prayer is a common prayer and shows us praying without awareness. The next prayer shows us the grandeur of praying with awareness.

We are going to use both …
how we feel and what we see in our minds eye as guides … so we can fully understand where our focus really is.

   Remember, what we focus on … comes to us. This will help us realize what we are really praying for, calling for and what we are going to attract and experience because of how we choose to word our prayers.

Situation 1:
It is raining and you really want nice weather.

Common Prayer:
I pray … Please stop the rain. Please make the rain go away.

   From this prayer … can you "feel" within yourself that you are holding the word "rain"? When you say rain … you "feel" rain. When you say rain you "see" rain in your
Praying With Awareness minds eye. It is that simple. All of your beingness is focused on rain when you state your prayer in this way. Your prayer is calling for rain.

Praying with Awareness:
I pray for clear skies and sunshine!

   Can you "feel" the difference? Can you notice within yourself that you are now holding the feelings of "clear skies and sunshine"? When you say clear skies and
sunshine ... you "see" the picture of clear skies and sunshine in your minds eye. Now your beingness is focused on what you want! Your prayer is now calling for clear skies and sunshine.

Situation 2:
You are sick and you want to be healthy and well.

Common Prayer:
I pray … please take this illness away. Please take this cancer away.
Please … I don't want this sickness any longer.

   Can you "feel" how the energy of these negative words "illness, cancer and sickness" makes you feel inside? Can you "see" the picture that forms in your mind's eye from the words … illness, cancer and sickness? Dear one, when you say the words sickness, illness, and cancer … you see and feel sickness, illness and cancer. Your prayer is calling for sickness, illness and cancer!

Praying with Awareness:
I pray to be whole, balanced and well!

   Can you notice the difference in how these positive words "change how you feel inside" and "change what you see" in the picture of your mind? Now you are seeing and feeling wholeness and wellness and you are calling balance to your body.

Situation 3:
You are overweight and you really want to be thin.

Common Prayer:
I pray … please take this fat away. I don't want to be fat any longer.

   Can you "feel" the energy and sadness of the word "fat"? When you say a prayer in this manner … there is a "feeling of sadness about being fat" and you are "seeing fat" in your mind's eye. You are focused on feeling and seeing the "opposite" of what you truly want. You are sabotaging yourself with this type of prayer because of what you feel and see inside yourself.

Praying with Awareness:
I pray to achieve my ideal body weight now and look grand!

   Can you "feel" the difference inside of you from using positive wording? Now you are "seeing and feeling" what you want. And the beauty of it all is … by changing your
focus you "feel" much better and you also change what your mind's eye sees as well. Positive thought "changes the attraction of your magnet" to bring you your ideal body weight and looking grand.

Situation 4:
You are alone and you desire companionship.

Common Prayer:
I pray … I feel so alone, please send me a companion.
I don't want to be lonely any longer.

   Can you "feel" the energy and the sadness from the negative words "lonely and so alone"? Can you "see" in your mind's eye the pictures you have created even though you have added the words … don't want and companion to in your prayer? What we feel and see and are focused on comes to us. Unfortunately in this case, your prayer is calling for experiences of feeling lonely and alone … because you allowed your focus to be on lonely and alone.

Praying with Awareness:
I pray for a delightful and caring companion!

   Can you feel it? Can you "feel" the difference in you? Can you "feel" the joy? When you "change the wording" … it changes the feelings and pictures within you. Your prayer goes from lonely and alone ... to "delightful and caring". Your prayer is now calling for a companion with those beautiful qualities.

Situation 5:
Your child is going away for 3 weeks and you are worried about his or her safety and well being.

Common Prayer:
I pray … please don't let my child get hurt.

   Can you "see and feel" the energy of the word "hurt" in your beingness? It is important to realize that you are still focusing on "hurt" … even though the word don't appears within your prayer.

Praying with Awareness:
I pray my child comes home safe, happy and well.

   Ahhh, with this positive prayer you "feel" much better because the mind sees what you want and you feel good. Now you have changed your prayer to say what you desire. Your have intentionally directed your energy and focus to assist your magnet in attracting the experience of your child coming home safe, happy and well.

Important Note …
If you say the words of what you want, but feel the opposite way … you will attract according to your inner most thoughts and feelings rather than by your words.

   In prayer, your inner most thoughts and feelings are more powerful than your words alone … for they are backed by your emotions and represent a truth of what is going on within you. You cannot lie to yourself. Your body and heart both know how you "feel". Therefore, you have to find a way of putting your words that will allow you to feel good as you are saying your prayers.

It is all about getting your feelings to match your request … so you can attract what you desire in life.

Example:
Prayer … I pray to Love myself ... please help me Love myself.

   As you say this prayer, if you focus on your negative qualities … you will feel bad. In this case you may be saying the words but you are not feeling good or feeling Love. When you say this prayer, if you do not want to attract your negative qualities and what
you are feeling bad about … you need to "help yourself feel good" so you can attract the Love instead. To help you attract the Love and feel good about yourself, make a list of things you "like" about yourself … and then focus on that list allowing the good feelings to rise within you.

Now as you pray, your feelings and thoughts match your words. You are using your heart and mind together to attract what you want. This is praying with awareness in an intentional way to achieve what you desire.

   When our prayers contain what we do not want, what we want to go away, what we fear to happen, or what we think is missing ... we end up attracting exactly what we "do not want" in our life.

We sabotage many of our prayers … because we are focused on the negatives or what is not there … instead of the positives and what is there.  

When we pray with awareness in a positive way and feel good inside … it creates the attraction of what we have desired in our lives all along. Divine Love is very careful in its "use of prayers" … and if we are wise, we will follow in those footsteps. Prayer enhances our attraction. What our minds' eye sees and our mental emotional body feels … becomes the "universal language" to our magnet. It is in realizing the power in our prayers and then praying with awareness that helps create and bring us the Heaven on Earth experience.

Here is a pleasurable example …
I pray …

   I pray to be an expression of Divine Love in the grandest way possible. I pray for true wisdom, knowledge, understanding, compassion, strength, courage, kindness and clarity. I pray for good health an balance and wellness in every way. I pray to walk my
grandest walk in human form expressing the beautiful Love that I am in every step I take.

This dear one … is just one way of praying with awareness using the grandness that you are … to attract Divinely.
