Prayer

I learnt all these methods in my healing classes. I have modified in some places to suit our present day needs.

1 – Set aside a few minutes everyday for prayer. Do not say anything. Simply practise thinking about God. This will make your mind spiritually more receptive.

2 – Then pray orally, using simple, natural words. Tell God anything that is on your mind. Do not think, you must use stereotyped pious phases. Talk to God in your own language. He understands it.

3 – Pray, as you go about the business of the day, while travelling or at your work. Utilise minute prayers by closing your eyes to shut out the world and concentrating briefly on God’s presence. The more you do this everyday, the nearer you will feel God’s presence.

4 – Do not always ask when you pray, but instead affirm that God’s blessings are being given and spend most of your prayers giving thanks.

5 – Pray with the belief that sincere prayers can reach out and surround your loved ones with God’s love and protection.

6 – Never use a negative thought in a prayer. Only positive thoughts get results.

7 – Always express willingness to accept God’s will. Ask for what you want, but be willing to take what God gives you. It may be better than what you ask for !

8 – Practise the attitude of putting everything in God’s hands. Ask for the ability to do your best and to leave the results confidently to God.

9 – Pray for people whom you do not like or who have mistreated you. Resentment is blockade number one of spiritual power.

10 – Make a list of people for whom to pray. The more you pray for other people, especially those not connected with you, the more prayer results will come back to you.

How I came to know about this exercise ?

How I came to know about this exercise ?

A very popular guru of India was visiting US and a couple visit him, with a son who had an issue say X (where he needs to be taken care of almost every minute of the day for almost doing anything right from brushing teeth to literally everything) and asked the guru, "Why did God choose us for this issue X ? How can we cure our son of issue X so he can have a normal life ?". The guru put his hand on this child and literally read out his mind. Now, some of you who read this might challenge this bit but give it a try and once you are there yourself, you will believe it. Even after trying it if you don't see results, we can discuss. In short, what the guru found out was that when this child was a soul, searching for which parents to pick for his next life, he found this couple who were very God-fearing, having this very helpful nature and not hurting anyone etc. He was looking for a life where he need not do anything, others do it all for him and this was the perfect plan, if he chose this set of parents and issue X, they will have to take care of him everyday and for life. That's exactly what he wanted. Latter, the Guru questions the child, is it not unfair to penalize those parents to meet his needs and finally you realize that the plan is such that everyone gets exactly what they wanted. It was surprising to me first to wrap my head around the fact that this child himself chose that issue X. Once we ascertain that, way to unlock this situation is for child X to himself choose to come out of that situation. Till he breaks that oath himself, no one else can put him out, neither the parents nor the Guru.


I just happened to stumble upon a video of that Guru where he explains the above situation.


To be fully transparent, I have unlocked the situation twice like that and both times I didn't do the exercise on my own. I took help from a new-age Guru. When I look back now, why I couldn't unlock the situation myself, best way I can put it is in the words of Einstein (which you might have read already) :


The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.


Someone has to be there to "push" or "pull" you into the next level. That can be you too

Be Specific With Your Wishes


A man walks into a restaurant with a full-grown ostrich behind him.
As he sits, the waitress comes over and asks for their orders.
The man says, “I’ll have a hamburger, fries and a coke,” and turns to the ostrich, “What’s yours?”
“I’ll have the same,” says the ostrich.
A short time later the waitress returns with the order. “That will be $6.40 please,” and the man reaches into his pocket and pulls out the exact change for payment.
The next day, the man and the ostrich come again and the man says, “I’ll have a hamburger, fries and a coke,” and the ostrich says, “I’ll have the same.”
Once again the man reaches into his pocket and pays with exact change.
This becomes a routine until late one evening, the two enter again.
“The usual?” asks the waitress. “No, this is Friday night, so I will have a steak, baked potato and salad,” says the man. “Same for me,” says the ostrich.
A short time later the waitress comes with the order and says, “That will be $12.62.” Once again the man pulls exact change out of his pocket and places it on the table.
The waitress can’t hold back her curiosity any longer.
“Excuse me, sir. How do you manage to always come up with the exact change out of your pocket every time?”
“Well,” says the man, “several years ago I was cleaning the attic and I found an old lamp. When I rubbed it a Genie appeared and offered me two wishes. My first wish was that if I ever had to pay for anything, I would just put my hand in my pocket and the right amount of money would always be there.”
“That’s brilliant!” says the waitress. “Most people would wish for a million dollars or something, but you’ll always be as rich as you want for as long as you live!”
“That’s right. Whether it’s a gallon of milk or a Rolls Royce, the exact money is always there,” says the man.
The waitress asks, “One other thing, sir, what’s with the ostrich?”
The man sighs, pauses, and answers, “My second wish was for a tall chick with long legs who agrees with everything I say.”

God granting miracles

God granting miracles

Once apon a time there was a man that lived by the river. He heard a radio report that the river was going to rush up and flood the town. The report said that the whole town should evacuate immediately. But the man said, "I'm religious, I pray. God loves me. God will save me." But the waters began to rise. A man in a rowing boat came along and he shouted. 'Hey! Hey you! You up there. The town is flooding. I can take you to safety.' But the man shouted back: "I'm religious, I pray. God loves me. God will save me." A helicopter came hovering overhead. A guy with a megaphone shouted. 'Hey! You there! The town is fully flooded. Let me drop down a ladder and I will help you to safety.' But the men shouted back that he was religious, that he prayed, that God loved him and that God would take him to safety. The man then drownned. When he got to the pearly gates of St Peter, he demanded an audience with God. 'Lord,' he said, 'I'm a religious man, I pray. I thought you loved me. Why did this happen?' God said, 'I sent you a radio report, a helicopter, and a guy in a rowing boat. What on earth are you doing here?'

Keeping hope, faith and patience

Keeping hope, faith and patience 

Life is not always green for everyone. Since a very very long time, I am trying to achieve something, but unable to get to it. I have tried all the possible options, puja's and prayers. But all in vain.

Sometimes I do get angry with God, what is that he wants from me before he could grant me my wish. I never cheat him, then why does he do.

I came a long way, but did not loose hope and trusted God always. But looks like my hope is diminishing day by day. I no more feel like trying to get what I want. I pray to God too, but have almost stopped asking anything now.

I have never been a quitter and don't want to be. But I see myself going down that path.

So, I am forming this support group, in a hope that we all can motivate each other to keep hope, faith in God, trust him and ourselves, be patient and not stop trying.

Pls Share your experiance.

More or less I think everyone will feel the same as you at some point of time in life. That's what life is all about, overcoming the challenges.


From personal experience I can assure you that, whatever happens, happens for good. Steve Jobs had put it best in his Stanford Commencement Speech. I guess you must have heard it already but if not I would recommend you follow it, very inspiring. Quoting a key sentence there that I believe in ... "you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life".

 
I have been there so many times and every time I am in there I remind myself that after every night, the Sun has to rise and its all about just "hanging in there" for the Sunrise. Till now every night I have waited, the Sun has risen It will, in your case too, just matter of time.

there is quote it goes like this "yatnam-Prayatnam-Daivetnam" translation is yatnam-our trails todo the work, prayatnam- make more efforts if needed, Daivetnam- leaving to god to help us reach the destiny. Dont loose hope you will surely get what you are wished for.
