I wanted to talk about the power of prayer.
Combined with meditation.
Aloha,
My name is Reverend Cindy Paulus and for most of my life I have been meditating,
But I also feel it's very wonderful to set the tone.
For meditation by saying some prayers.
And prayers that mean something to you that you can connect with now.
With the traditional prayers that you might find.
You might have special issues that have to be dealt with.
And I have found that many people just want to have prayers directed to getting answers to what they want.
I understand that,
Believe me,
I understand that.
Just solve my problems,
Please God.
But there comes an issue here with that we don't really know what is really for the best or what we're supposed to learn and what we're supposed to go through.
So it takes directing our energy to that power within that is the God,
Which some people may call higher source infinite wisdom.
There's so many names and some people just have issues with the word God.
So direct that question to that wonderful source.
The highest source of love and light.
And then,
You know.
.
.
Trust that the good,
That what is supposed to be done,
Will give you the strength to release the stress involved with what you're going through.
And have faith in the fact that you may not know what outcome is going to come,
But at least you know you have asked for some help.
And then I find following that with a meditation.
With a deep meditation going within.
Quiets the mind from talking or the asking of the questions that you might have had,
Or the request to God that you might have had,
But it lets you receive.
So I hope you understand the difference here.
One is communicating and talking to the highest source,
And the other is receiving in stillness of meditation,
That space inside that can clear and be open to guidance.
And that beautiful space inside a meditation.
Can bring you a lot of peace,
A lot of understanding,
And I have found many answers,
Not always clear.
And it may just be a word or two,
But it can bring you the gift that comes when you go and be quiet.
So there's an amazing flow.
Well,
Like with breath,
You know,
Breathing in.
And then releasing and breathing out.
And there's this flow of energy that always happens as you're sending energy up to the highest source in a question.
Or request.
And then receiving it as you are open.
Being open to receive is such a wonderful thing.
Gift that you can get when you trust.
You have to trust that process.
Of what's going to come to you.
And how it comes to you is always interesting.
It may be in the form of words that come to you,
Or inspiration,
Or maybe someone you know.
It may come in many ways.
It may come to you in many different.
Ways and forms that are hard to describe because there's so many possibilities for them.
You may find something,
A quote,
That you are looking at things and you find a quote that answers the question.
There's so many possibilities of the way this works in that open line of communication.
Of going within,
Connecting to the highest source and to God.
Allowing that energy to come back to you.
And having the faith.
That there is that connection.
To trust that the process is working itself out.
It may not be happening right away.
You may find it takes time,
And there may be lessons you need to learn in that process that could be part of the process,
That could be part of your growth process.
But trusting in that process is an amazing gift.
It truly is a blessing that's beyond calculating.
And as you start to do that,
And you have faith in that process,
Process,
You begin to receive more.
And not only that,
It takes a huge burden of stress off you,
A huge,
Huge amount of frustration with the mind,
You know,
Banging its head against a wall.
It just allows you to go to that place of peace inside when you can,
Trust in that amazing process that comes in that communication with the highest source,
With God,
And then that receiving of that energy that you need to resolve whatever it is that's going on within you or answers that you need that will help you and guide you.
And that can come on,
Like I say,
So many levels.
So trust in the process.
Have faith in that process.
Use that process.
And don't allow yourself to go overwhelmed,
Be overwhelmed by what it takes in a situation that may be difficult.
Just continue on because of frustration in me.
Angst that comes actually.
I think drives away the answers,
You know.
And that faith is going to give you the strength you need and the encouragement you need to continue on to do what you need to do.
And so I just wanted to bring that up because it's what I've been going through.
I've been going through a lot and I have to say I use this process and it really does help.
And I'm here to help.
That's what I need.
And I love it when you find that it works for you.
You have your things to share as well.
And I bow in deepest gratitude for being able to communicate and share this with you.
Bless you always.
