Advanced Praying — Part 1

Let God know how you feel

Prayer is sincerely expressing yourself to God — even at a basic emotional level. As you experience Spirit within yourself, you enter higher dimensions of prayer known as spiritually conscious prayer. Discover how you can help the world by being a knower of Spirit and relating to Spirit through prayer.

Devotional Yoga, Prayer
  • Prayer includes expressing the feelings of your heart to God
  • The priest and yogi Abhishiktananda shared that praying is seeing God and adoring His presence and glory in everything
  • True prayer is based on the conviction that God is here and everywhere, that God is the source from which everything comes
  • In spiritual prayer you begin to sense God’s presence in the depths of your being
  • You begin to sense Spirit in the deep core of every being, in the life of all creatures
  • You become aware that the Spirit before you and within you is also beyond the universe, beyond created things, that Spirit is the source of creation

God Within You

Spiritually aware prayer is powerful and effective because you and the Lord are present to one another. That’s why it is called advanced prayer. That, however, is not the main, overarching quality of yogic and mystical prayer. As you mature on the path, the Spirit of God within you does the praying.
