I say a little prayer for you
Posted by marcia on 19 Dec 2007 | Tagged as: Power of intention
Power of Belief
When I say prayer, I say the most powerful human though-form that we can experienced.
Means act of relating the self to God, to bring trust from the universe through our physical body on earth.
You can pray using several techniques, such as meditations, Chants & Mantras, Gospel Songs, Writings or just simple heart full invocations.
There some beautiful words and mantras in our history, Chants &Prayers that can make us cry and be completely humble and finally surrender.
For example, Chants, or mantras, of shamans, which are power songs, have been passed down through the generations. Their rhythms and melodies empower the shaman to reach an altered state of conscious and summon his power animal or guardian spirit.
Chanting
When we practice the art of chanting, mantras or prayers we are in the process of altering the consciousness and raising psychic power and our physical energy connecting with the Divine, leading us to psychical powers and becoming a bamboo.
The use of our throat chakra in invocation practice is very important, since we will connect with pure intelligence, that will allowed us to establish a concept of truth and integrity in our communication. We can also accompanied this practice with musical instruments and hand clapping even dancing bringing the being to an intense level and increasing psychic power to a very high vibration. Specially if is done in group consciousness.
I find of a great help to just invoke names of Ascendant Masters in my healing practice I ask very often for the Divine Guidance of Masters using words of wisdoms.
Visualization
Visualization, or creative visualization as it is sometimes referred to, is the use of mental imagery to obtain an objective. A vivid mental picture of the desired thing is held firmly fixed in the mind as if it had already happened.
The technique has been widely employed in many fields such as the arts, sports, business, alternative medicine, religious practices, psychotherapy, and psychical research, the mystical and occult arts, and self-improvement.
Creative visualization also is known by other terms such as “positive thinking,” “positive imagery,” “dynamic imaging,” “creating imaging.
It is ancient knowledge that the power of thought, imagination, and will does change circumstances. Creative visualization does help the individual to organize the resources necessary to achieve the goal or task that he is presented with. It also is believed to aid in establishing a harmony which facilitates fortuitous synchronicities, or opportunities. Creative visualization is very effective when apply in practice of meditation and prayer. Giving the feeling that during the practice you are upon a higher power such as the Divine, the Higher Self, or a spirit guide to help you realize your objective, infect I use the power of intention through visualization in my healing practice.
