The Power of Prayer.
Not only is Creative Visualization a practice I use for human flourishing, but, my most favorite exercise for a sustained level of health, happiness and wholeness can only emerge through the power of Prayer. I meditate on God, I pray to Him, I thank Him for all His goodness He has supplied to me. I thank Him for letting me live, breath, and do. I think Him for my family and friends. I ask for His help for myself, needs, to limit suffering, assistance, and for my family and friends the same. He is there for me at all times and hears my prayer. I meditate on all His attributes. He wears many hats. I think about that. Prayer can lift spirits, calm my soul, give me a sense that it is all taken care of and I can stop stressing or worrying. I pray to God, I leave stress, hurt, sickness, confusion to God, He can handle any situation or emotion. Prayer is a comforting practice.

Hi Julia,
ReplyDeleteHow inspiriational that you have been able to communicate so intimately with God. It is only after practice that I think we all feel this comfortable with "talking" to God. I am in complete agreement with you that he can life spirits, calm our souls, and stop stress and worry.
Blessings!

I agree with you and truly believe in the power of prayer. This practice is so important because it allows us to acknowledge all that is good and right in our lives but also to dismiss thoughts that would keep us depressed. This is also beneficial to me with stress relief. I am constantly connected to God and source. We all come from it and live in it and die to it. Every day we should take the time to rejoice in it. Great post! I believe that this insight would be helpful to a patient as it comes from a genuine belief in all that is good and right with this world.

Hi Julia,
ReplyDeleteGod and the power of prayer have seen me through my darkest hours. When my father passed away years ago, it was prayer that got me through. I find that my best time to pray is when I take my dog for a walk in the evening, the stars are out, and the crickets are chirping. I look to the stars and talk to God. This is when I feel the closest to him adn I also talk to my Dad because I feel he is among the stars and can hear me. I do believe that clients can benefit from praying to a higher power, whoever that may be. It truly gives strength!
