After reading our first post, Is There A God and Can He Perform Miracles? Part 1 – Trumpet Blog , some may ask why these miraculous changes occurred? Were they simple coincidences or is there actually power in prayer? Only each individual will be able to answer this question. But, due to the fact that this is my Blog, and it is my intention to voice my opinion, here is what I have concluded.
Are prayers during meditation more effective than the normal routine of praying?
My wife and I have been following the practice of Transcendental Meditation from 1976 to the present and have enjoyed many benefits including added energy, improved sleep, eradication of migraine headaches, clearness of thought and a generally improved lifestyle.
During meditation, a practitioner effortlessly distances himself/herself from all random thoughts which surface constantly while we are awake. It is during this twenty-minute period that the meditator enjoys a deep period of rest. It is important that my readers understand that with this explanation, I have not made any reference to religion, God, or any other faith-based references. What I have shared is only the technique and benefits of Transcendental Meditation.
Most recently I have experienced a change during my two periods of meditation each day which caused me to change from repeating my mantra to observing moving color images before my closed eyes.
During more recent periods of meditation, I began to observe changing shapes in motion of different colors. Gradually each element seemed to become more focused, more vivid in color and more stable. Three colors were always present- yellow gold, deep blue and a penetrating white. Eventually I realized that the piercing white light was the dominant of the three colors and my attention was drawn to that each time I meditated.
While observing this powerful white light, which I can only describe as a concentration of energy (this is what I feel throughout my body), I prayed that both my wife’s cancer as well as mine be removed from our bodies……… and it was.
I am currently repeating this practice, substituting other close friends who are experiencing health issues and hope for similar results for them.
God hears all prayer, but is it only through actual meditation at a subconscious level that we are able to experience His presence?
