Thank you Mary I ofthen asked myself if there was a difference etween prayer and meditation because I meditate more than I pray! Meditating is a profound thinking of who God is. Thank you for letting me know the oneness of prayer and meditation. Meditation leads to revelation and manifestation of Gods Love

I often find myself lost in the amazing feeling of meditation when i pray. I find prayer to be the way to connect to God. And, of course, meditation is the way to have Oneness with God. I do not doubt that meditation could be reached through the act of prayer.

When I meditate, I get comfortable so my thoughts can relax. In the same way, I get comfortable to pray. That way I can effortlessly spread my feelings and thoughts to God…Thus, achieving meditation.

For me prayer and meditation go hand in hand. While entering the rest I often pray to get in touch. The prayer usually comes in the form of ‘ I love you’, ‘you’ve always known me, always loved me’. Then there is quiet, as thoughts and feelings and judgments are released. Beyond all these, after a time of just being, a love dialogue happens. This is prayer for me. Its not empty. Its full of love and joy.

Thanks for weighing in, yournontoxiclife. I love how we find that interconnectedness when we sink into our selves.

I meditate regularly and do not pray very often, if at all. I see meditation as me getting in touch with me and improving my life.
It’s also in indirect sense (or direct, if I am practicing mehta) of the interconnectedness of all.

Excellent post! Prayer and Meditation are two excellent means to achieve mental bliss, serenity and peace. Your post points out towards this fact really effectively. While prayer requires some form of belief or faith as a prerequisite, meditation can be practised by anyone by just following the suitable meditation techniques. Keep up the great work, Mary!
