“Prayer can come in many forms. Why limit the form with expectations?”
Nantene
In a recent conversation with Nantene, one of the guides my husband channels, I asked him* to expand on a definition of prayer he gave me several years ago that prayer is simply alignment with Spirit.
I personally always loved that definition. It is much more expressive than my previous understanding of prayer as communication with Spirit/Divine/God. Communication suggests words, but alignment suggests something more; a connection beyond words.
However, something that is beyond words is not easy to write about – which is why I mostly write through stories – but I want to at least try. So that is what I asked Nantene for help with.
The following is a transcript of our recent discussion about prayer.
Louise: So, I’m kinda writing this book about prayer, except now I got the guidance to publish it as blog posts to lower my resistance. And I know you’ve talked about prayer before being alignment with Spirit, but I wondered if you had anything more you’d like to say about prayer that would help me communicate to other people about what prayer is.
Nantene: Prayer is your life. Prayer is every moment. Prayer is how you perceive the world when you get up in the morning. Prayer is what you say to someone who has insulted you. Prayer is standing up for what you believe is right. Prayer is whether you prepare your food with love or with indifference. All of these things are prayer. Prayer is unfolding. Prayer is connection with Spirit, and you are never not connected with Spirit; it’s simply a matter of conscious awareness and conscious choice as to how to express that connection.
So, for your book, there are many prayer stories that you could tell, but what is, for you, the fundamental essence of prayer? And as you explore that, how does it influence everything you express in your book?
Prayer is personal and prayer is universal.
Louise: That’s good!
Nantene: So, prayer for you will have unique qualities to it, and yet prayer for everyone will have commonalities to it. A prayer for John might be a dance. A prayer for you might be a song.
Louise: You’re smirking!
Nantene: [Smiling] Because you have such a beautiful voice waiting to be used in song.
Louise: I do?
Nantene: Do you feel resistance?
Louise: Well, I guess I do. I suppose I don’t think I have a beautiful voice. I think I have an okay voice, is what I think.
Nantene: Yes, there is resistance.
Louise: [Laughing]
Nantene: So consider that song, for you, might be a form of prayer.
Louise: Hmm.
Nantene: Think of the mornings when you stepped out the door and sang to the deer [to keep them safe during hunting season]. Is that not prayer?
Louise: I guess it is.
Nantene: Prayer can come in many forms. Why limit the form with expectations?

Thanks, Muriel!
Beautifully explained Louise, thank you and stay blessed xxx
