How to Pray

[pedra]

I have been struggling for a year and a half to understand how I truly feel about something and I finally have that clarity. It is a very calming feeling, although this clarity will require deep and difficult adjustments- Life changes with no guarantees. I asked the Yi, now that I have clarity, how do I pray for that which I want without a shadow of doubt? I got 52-6 changing to 15. The Yi never ceases to amaze me! Knowing the truth and aligning your life with it- equilizing, integrity (15). Humblying oneself -the mountain that overtime becomes the earth where it stands. The perfect image of praying: from standing tall, down to your knees. The prayer position. Then "Stilling", as in meditation (52)-I practice yoga and it helps focus my energy. I thing the Yi is telling me that asking in prayer is a humbling gesture and I should still my heart like the mountain, go inside myself and clear my heart-mind without asking for anything in particular except for being open to receiving whatever blessings are destined for me instead of focusing narrowly on praying for the goal that is now so clear to me. Thank you for any thoughts, and of course, any prayers you want to send my way. Namaste!

I think you've understood the reading, especially the part about clearing your mind of its usual thoughts and being open to whatever comes instead of praying for your cherished goal specifically. Actually, I would try a 1-2 action: first thinking of your goal, and then opening your mind and letting all goals go.

Thank you Ginnie! I will certainly try the 1-2 action approach!
