How Do You Pray?

Whether your prayers are for yourself, for a family member or friend, focused on a group of individuals, or a general request for world peace, it is your intention that stirs healing into action. Prayer really does offer a powerful effect on our well being.

The intention of closed eyes during prayer is to quiet the mind whereas the intention of two hands placed together during prayer is to quiet the physical body's activities. When the mind and hands are silenced the spirit is allowed a more focused communciation with a place of knowing.

CIRCLE OF HEALING LIGHT INTENTION

With the intention of honoring each person's choice of receiving and to serve the highest good of everyone concerned all prayers and healing energies offered within this Circle-of-Healing-Light are given freely and respectfully for those who have asked.

The Circle of Healing Light membership has grown leaps and bounds since our circle was first birthed a few years ago. We currently have approximately 250 members who offer weekly prayers/healings to the many requests submitted.

Listed below are a few of the different approaches some our Circle of Healing Light members take in offering prayers. We certainly are a very diverse group!

Calling Upon the Archangels
shared by Judy

I chant OM, repeat the great invocation several times, chant OM, rub my hands together to feel the love and energy flowing. I then hold the printout of the prayer request in my hands at heart level knowing that they are surrounded and filled with light, love, and power and know that the archangels Michael, Ariel, Raphael, and Gabriel surround them. I say the names of the requesting person and the person they request help for (these names I have written on a separate piece of paper). I end with OMs and the great invocation.

Special Invocation
shared by Angelguyre

Immersed in God's healing love, you are renewed in body and spirit. Your minds and bodies are healed through the power of God's love as divine order blesses every function of your bodies. In the name and through the power of the living and loving Christ presence, Amen.

Tasbim Sunset/Sunrise Chant
shared by Dana Ludeking

May the Love and the Light and the Healing Energies Please Come to me.

May the Love and the Light and the Healing Energies Please Come surround me.

May the Love and the Light and the Healing Energies Please Flow Through Me.

May the Love and the Light and the Healing Energies Heal all those around me.

Message from Dana: I go through the list and pray or chant my healing prayer I learned in a dream (see chant above). I see us that work as channeling healing or prayers to those in need of them all working together in a big prayer or healing circle. So I pray for all those in the Circle of Healing Light... and the Circle of Healing Light for me extends to everyone and everything, as I believe we all are all connected. I woke up chanting these words one morning after I prayed for a way to send healing to others. I also use Reiki, and Tai Chi, and visualization methods when it comes to channeling healing towards others. Sometimes I wait for a name or situation to jump out at me and I focus more on them. I do a mixture of non-traditional Shamanic methods I have learned from my Spirit friends through dream, and meditation.

P.S. I call my own spiritual tradition either Heinzism or Tasbim (Truth As By I am) If you have time and want to learn more about it check out my belief system area on my website... www.dnatureofdtrain.zzn.com

Sending Reiki Energies
shared by Nithya

I draw Reiki to myself with all the symbols and give one STRONG AND GENUINE INTENTION that "I request Reiki to flow through my soul to x, y soul" etc. for I believe Reiki is a way of exchange of energy. When I do the above method I sort of feel oneness with all that is.

Laying of Hands / Sending Divine White Reiki Light
shared by Sadaqa

The routine I have is to sit in front of the computer in the evening before I go to bed and lay hands on the computer, I scroll down the list, sometimes I will read the request as I read down and sometimes the spirit just has me to pray a general prayer. I send out the Divine White Reiki Light.

Unified Prayer
shared by Patsy

Since I practice Mahikari and Reiki, I use my hands when I pray, and if I am strapped for time, I will sit at the computer and pray for the requesting person and all individuals connected to that person for "the best possible Divine arrangement." When possible, I download the request list, try to condense it, and carry it around in my pocket to pull out and pray when I have a spare minute. I have offered a "unified" prayer for all of the recipients, you, and the prayer givers, not breaking out individuals.

Candle Light Visualization
shared by Gayle

I do light candles and meditate while I picture the person/animal in my mind. Sometimes I do burn incense.

Family Prayer Candle
shared by Pat

Each time I receive mail from The Healing Circle I place all the prayers on a special table where I have fresh flowers and special crystals. I light a candle every day. If I forget someone else in the family will light a candle. It is a group effort.
