Really? Why would anyone say that?
Let me explain. I am a Hypnotherapist trained to understand the power of suggestions, the principles of the unconscious mind, and how the unconscious mind and emotions help to create reality and impact upon our lives. I am also a Reiki Master Teacher trained in energy work, and a Dowser trained in the power of intent to effect change and healing.
Prayer and curses are related.
Both work on similar principles. They are simply
Clear intention + strong emotion + belief projected outwards to someone or something.
What differentiates them is
- the intention behind it, not just the Being to whom you pray,
- the image you hold in your mind,
- your belief/faith that it is possible or not, and
- the emotional energy that goes along with it.
Please don’t pray with fear in your heart!
Even if your intention is to help but you are visualizing a negative outcome with a lot of emotional energy, your prayers can hurt.
While probably most people think that prayer works simply by appealing to an outside source (God) regardless of how they pray, the outcome of prayer, in my opinion, depends on you as well. The words, images and feelings you hold while praying can work in alignment with or against what you want.
INTENTION – what do you want?
IMAGE – what image are you holding in your mind? Are you imagining what you want or what you don’t want?
TARGET – who or what is the focus of your attention?
BELIEF – do you really think that your prayer can be answered or not? Is it possible?
EMOTIONAL ENERGY – what is the nature of the emotion that is energizing your prayer and driving it forward to the target (the person or situation that you want to help)?
THE PROBLEMS WITH PRAYER
- People usually think to pray when there is a crises and when they are in fear. If they are feeling powerless, they sabotage their own ability as co-creator to make changes to manifest a better condition. A fearful person is inclined to run or freeze, not take positive action.
During the American Revolution, there was a Springfield, New Jersey minister who used to say “Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.” In other words, don’t just pray, do something.
And as the Dalai Lama has said after the recent Paris shootings, it is “not for God to fix this. Humans created it, and humans must fix it themselves.”
- If the person praying doesn’t believe the prayer will be answered, that the help will come, it is like saying to God, ‘forget about it.’ Doubt cancels out.
- If the person praying is so focused on what they don’t want to happen, they are unwittingly broadcasting more of that into the world. This can happen when they are consumed with worry, anger, fear or upset. Take the time to quiet your mind first, gain some perspective, and get into alignment with your spiritual source. In my perspective, this means getting into the frequency of love. Go to that quiet place within.
Hypnosis can help you find this quiet place and then anchor it. We hypnotherapists usually call this our “safe place.” From that place ask,
What is mine to do?
How can I be of service?
- While anger is powerful energizer to carry intention to the target, it is the same as cursing or black magic if directed at anyone or anything. If you curse your enemies, don’t expect them to act any better. Whereas Dr. Hew Len in the modernized version of Ho’oponopono has demonstrated convincingly that love and forgiveness can heal even the criminally insane.
Using your anger in a positive way
If you have difficulty getting out of the energy of anger, you can harness it constructively to focus of the positive opposite that you would like to see in the world, and to powerfully project that outwards. Use your anger to get off the couch and do something to make the world a better place. Then you can turn this tragedy into a blessing. Hold the thought,
How can I turn this into a blessing?
While bad behavior has to be stopped, you cannot stop violence by creating more of it. The experiences of Northern Ireland and elsewhere has clearly proven that violent retaliations against violence create more violence that seems never to stop.
In the meantime, in your prayers hold the intention of what you want to see in the world, in your country and neighborhood, and pray for guidance and assistance to do what is yours to do. Believe it is possible to effect positive change. Gather others around to do the same. Keep the image front and center. As Transidential Meditators have proven, group meditation for peace does make a difference. Then follow it with action.
