Healing Lesson of the Day

<previous> <next>
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 communication with a place of knowing.
