Her daughter had a biopsy on her leg and it came back squamous cell carcinoma. She was to have an excision that would be done by a plastic surgeon to minimize scarring. She sent a message to a prayer list, saying, “Our daughter would use words asking for prayers for those doing her procedure; requesting that she have peace of mind and minimal discomfort and also that they be able to remove all of the sick cells, and that she would heal easily and completely.”
She continued, “I would add that anything else be removed along with the tissue: anything that blocks or limits our daughter’s health and well-being on any level. Let this be a healing on all levels over all times: memory, belief, attitude, behavior. May the ultimate result be freedom from all that she and all beings would be better off without. Pray that this experience will be a deep healing blessing Stacey, her family and friends, the whole earth and beyond. Let it be a feeling-based prayer. Amen.”
Included in the message was information on feeling-based prayer by Gregg Braden:
-
Prayer researchers identify multiple kinds of prayer, and everyone has a place. For me, prayer is like a tool. It’s like if we have a toolbox, different tools can be used for different things. Different prayers may be used for different things. There are prayers of supplication. For example, when we feel powerless to do anything in our world and we ask for intervention, “Dear God, if you let my car get to the bottom of the freeway, this one time I will never let my gas tank get this low again.” That’s a prayer of supplication. There are prayers where we literally petition a higher power. “Almighty I Am, I petition the Lord for the right to heal and be healed now in all past, present, future generations.” That’s a petitionary prayer.
There is a form of prayer that typically has not been recognized by modern prayer researchers, and it is the form of prayer that is used by the indigenous peoples to do seemingly miraculous things, including healing of the body. It is feeling-based prayer. It is feeling the feeling as if the prayer has already been accomplished, rather than asking an external force to perform this thing, this healing or this miracle, for us. The difference in this mode of prayer is we become part of the solution rather than feeling powerless and asking for an external intervention.
When we feel the feeling that our perfect relationship is already present, our abundance is already present, the healing in our body has already happened, we set into motion a cascade of events that reflect that feeling that modern physics is only beginning to bear out through quantum theory. Entanglement, the principle of interconnectedness, of us being connected to the world beyond our body, as well as the world within our bodies. The heart – and the heart-brain connection – these are the tools. They provide the mechanism for us to make these communications.
So, prayer, when we say prayer, [we mean] a feeling-based prayer, does have the potential to influence the world outside of our bodies through electrical and magnetic and quantum forces we’re only beginning to understand. But it also has the ability, through that feeling, when we feel the feeling that we are already healed, for example, that we go into the heart-brain coherence without the attachment to the outcome, okay, and we’re feeling the feeling, and we can see that in our mind, our mirror neurons are seeing the healing in the presence of a field that supports that healing without the judgment, without the attachment, without the goodness or the badness or the rightness or their wrongness.
And this is what frees us, frees our body to respond very, very quickly.
Healing, what we call healing, is harmony. It’s bringing our body into harmony with itself and with the forces of the planet that we live upon. And heart-based harmony, heart-brain harmony and heart-based prayer are ancient tools that have been validated in modern laboratories, now that tell us precisely how this works and what to do.
Following the surgery, an update on her daughter reported the surgery went well and she has showering restrictions for two days and directions to follow for wound healing until the stitches come out in two weeks and thanking everyone for the prayers. She soon received an email from a friend on the prayer list:
Please tell your daughter “Thank You” for me. I will follow her example on Friday with surgery with the same diagnosis. The location on my aging body (all 82 and 3/4 years of it) is on the back of the left leg below the knee and on the upper right arm just below the shoulder joint. You have shaped my requests for the better. I wish my husband was here with skin on to walk with me through this also but I know he will coach me through this as he has all of the other past hiccups since he passed.
You don’t always know so directly how much your experiences touch others but there is always someone saying, “I’m here for you.” Feeling-based prayer going forth!
