What Is Prayer?

Prayer is a real, living power. It is not a vague ideal, a bartering system or a "quick-fix" to material gain or an easy life. It is the song that enables our soul to blossom and release its magic: an alchemical force by which we can transmute our basic self into the gold of our higher nature. Prayer, said with pure heart and motive, is that "energy" called Love in its higher octaves. Within us is limitless potential which most of us only glimpse. Prayer is one of the most powerful keys to unlock this radiant inner power and strength: this Spark of Divinity within and throughout all life, known by some as God, Jehovah, the Tao, Brahma, Allah, the Absolute, or the Creative Principle. Through prayer we can consciously use the universal life forces that flow freely through the universe to bring miracles into our lives and to the world around us.

Prayer is one of the most misunderstood spiritual sciences on Earth. It is a tremendous tool that every man, woman, and child can use to become modern miracle-makers. Through prayer we can heal one person or help to heal a thousand. We can preserve nature, stop wars, transform, transmute, inspire and uplift. With the right technique -- and a little faith and effort -- there are no limits to what can be accomplished through prayer. Prayer, in all its forms, can unite the world.

We live in a sea of pulsating, interconnected energy, as part of a planetary "group soul" called the human race. It is known through the study of quantum physics that our thoughts affect our world. Philosophers have said that even the flight of a bird across a meadow in England affects the rest of the world, even if it is only in an infinitesimal degree. How much more so do our prayers, when said from the depth of our compassion, and with the focus of our concentrated will? In the last few years, there have been over 120 scientific studies conducted with prayer. In fact, Dr. David Larson, President of the National Institute of Healthcare Research, a Maryland organization that explores the connection between spirituality and health by collecting and analyzing data, has said that the research focusing on the power of prayer in healing has nearly doubled over the past ten years. Larry Dossey, M.D. says, when talking about prayer: "the scientific proof for non-ordinary forms of healing is one of the best-kept secrets of our time."

The results prove beyond any doubt that prayer does indeed work. In the words of Dr. Howard Benson of Harvard Medical School: "When patients pray, beneficial physiological changes occur." The result of a five-year study conducted at the Holmes Center for Research in Holistic Healing, and published in Dr. Robert Miller's book "Miracles in the Making", was that prayers do indeed have the power to influence and affect other living systems.

One study took place between August, 1982 and May, 1983. In this fascinating experiment 393 patients in the San Francisco General Hospital's Coronary Care Unit participated in a double blind study to assess the therapeutic effects of prayer. Patients were randomly selected by computer to either receive or not receive prayer. All participants in the study, including patients, doctors, and the conductor of the study also were not aware of who was receiving healing. To guard against biasing the study, the patients were not contacted again after it was decided which group would be prayed for, and which group would not.

It was assumed that although the patients in the control group would not be prayed for by the participants in the study, that others-family members, friends etc., would likely pray for the health of at least some of the members of the control group. There was no control over this factor. Meanwhile all of the members of the group that received prayer would be prayed for by not only those associated with the study, but by others as well.

The results of the study by Dr. Randolph C. Byrd in Positive Therapeutic Effects of Intercessory Prayer in a Coronary Care Unit, published in the Southern Medical Journal, Vol. 81, July 1988, were that the patients who had received prayer as a part of the study were healthier than those who had not. The prayed-for group had less need of having CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) performed and less need for the use of mechanical ventilators. They had a diminished necessity for diuretics and antibiotics, less occurrences of pulmonary edema, and fewer deaths. Taking all factors into consideration, these results can only be attributed to the power of prayer.
