fire-copyIt is your responsibility as the receiver of other people’s prayers to set the intention for prayers and energetic forms of spiritual healing that are in alignment with your own your clear desire. That means your intention needs to be very clear.

A clear intention is dependent upon how you feel spiritually strong. Are you someone that visualizes, hears or feels things easily? Do you get strong impressions that are more like knowing something?

Most of us have one or two means of spiritual perception that are strongest for us. If you visualize, you actually see something in your minds eye when someone suggests you imagine, and it is possible your dreams are very vivid.

If you are auditory, you may hear a little voice in the back of your mind or you may hear songs in your mind throughout the day.

Tactile people experience the world through impressions when you touch someone or something. You may find that you are very sensitive to being touched and love the experience of various textures.

If you are empathic, you may find yourself processing your world through your intense and ever-changing emotions.

You may simply sense or know things without consciously engaging your five senses or empathic response.

Some people experience a combination of ways in which you receive spiritual input, or you may experience it in a way I haven’t described here. I recommend you become an explorer of yourself. Discover how spiritual awareness comes to you.

As you set your intention for self-healing, it will help if you can see, feel, hear, sense or know exactly what healing will be for you. Then multiple times a day, you can affirm exactly the outcome that you want in a way that your spiritual self can best understand it.

For example, if your spiritual medium is visual and you have broken your leg, you will do best to visualize yourself walking. However, if you are auditory, you may want to create an inspiring affirmation or song that you can repeat to yourself throughout the day. If you are tactile, you may want to massage essential oils on to your leg above your cast and sense it becoming well. If you are sensory or empathic, you need to feel physically or emotionally what it will be like when you are walking again.

As you set your intention, also set into your heart, in the present moment, the emotional feeling you will experience when you are completely healed. Nurture this emotional feeling until it becomes part of your daily experience.

Intense emotional pleasure will super-charge your spiritual intention and prayers, giving you the boost you need to bring your intention into complete manifestation.

 

candlesWhen other people’s prayers can actually limit your healing.

As we discussed in the previous article, it is important to actually open your heart to receive healing prayers from others. As you heart opens, so does your energetic body, allowing the energy, or love and intention, behind the prayer to penetrate into your being.

However, when opening your energy body, you want to be sure that the energy you are receiving is in alignment with your own intentions in order for the prayers and love to have their best effect.

What you don’t want is for them to be in conflict. For example, if someone is praying for you to be spiritually saved through your healing process, and that is not in alignment with your intentions, you may find the belief that accompanies their good wishes, causes you more harm than good as your psychic self struggles with the concept of what it means to be saved.

I’ve actually witnessed this in a healing session. Family members had said prayers for a woman’s healing that were in conflict with her spiritual perspectives. Her healing process was being slowed down because her spiritual body was in conflict around her desire to receive the loving regard of her family while rejecting the religious beliefs that were attached to those prayers.

This experience taught me that it is very important when receiving healing prayers to set the intention regarding exactly what energy and beliefs you are willing to receive.

You can most easily do this by becoming clear about your desired outcome and affirming it daily. You can simultaneously affirm that you gladly receive prayers from others that are in alignment with your clear intention, and without any limiting conditions or perspectives from them.

You can always choose to receive someone’s loving regard for you without their stated intentions or beliefs if you appreciate the love, but their intentions are incongruous with yours. After all, most prayers are intended to be acts of love for ourselves and those we care about. And love alone is powerful healing energy.
