Sending Light is Praying

Sending Light is a prayer. The reason we tell you sometimes to send Light and also pray is because you may not realize that you are praying when you are sending Light. Some people may not be in the meditative state needed to send Light in the most powerful way. They are not in the prayerful state. A true prayerful state is a state of meditation.

You are going into a meditation and reaching out through spirit. When you send Light under those conditions, you are praying. Now, there is nothing wrong with verbal prayer the way you have always done it. I don’t mean that. But remember not to be haphazard with either verbal prayer or when visualizing someone surrounded by Light. Stop yourself if you hear yourself think things such as, "Oh yeah, I send Light. Zap." Or "Oh yeah, God bless everyone. Amen."

If you send Light and also pray with words, you are just doing the same thing two different ways. That is fine. Actually, the meditational sending of Light and the technique of magnetizing are more effective than verbal prayer, but I am not at all saying that your verbal prayer is useless. Remember that on the conscious level, you also want to feel comfortable, so if you are more comfortable using verbal prayer, please continue to do so. Try to balance the two if you can.

Sometimes people think that before they pray, they need to decide what to ask for on behalf of the person. "How do I know? I like them. I want them around. But they are suffering." Or "Well, they are suffering so much that they should go. But what if that is wrong? What if they need to stay and fix a problem in their life?" They are thinking totally wrong about this. Who asked them to decide? I do not mean to speak unkindly, because the people who are really seriously weighing these things are very emotional about them, and very much concerned. I am not saying this in a light, casual way. But honestly, it is not their decision.

It is so important that they let go. They need to support the person for whom they are praying, but they do not have to decide what to pray for. In fact, they should not decide. You need to send Light. You need to send Love. When you send Light, you are sending Love, of course. Sometimes with effective supportive prayer, you can enable the person to let go of some fears and actually come Home sooner, and that is okay. It does not mean that because you sent Light or your Guides sent Light that her Guides yanked her Home too soon. It does not mean she will choose that resolution, either. She may have a reason for wanting to endure more suffering before she comes Home.

Spirit: As you are sending Light, you are also receiving it. When you ask us to join you in sending Light to someone, we also send you Light. So you are being strengthened every time you choose to send someone else Light. If you are giving Light, you are also receiving Light. If you are giving Love, you are also receiving Love. So don’t ever hesitate to send Light. If you are in your meditational state and sending white Light, and you suddenly get the urge to send green or pink Light, do it. Don’t try to figure out why or calculate what color to send. Start with white Light, and if during your meditation, you feel the urge to change colors, then do it. If you feel the urge to send a rainbow, do that.

When it is not your mind trying to figure it out, as long as this urge to change to a certain color comes during your meditation and prayer time without you trying to decide or manipulate it, don’t question what you feel led to send. Always begin and end with white Light, and then change just like you would change the filter over a spotlight if that is what leading comes to you. You can never give away too much Light or Love. You can never deplete yourselves. You can never run out. It is impossible. The exact opposite is true, in fact. The more you give, the more you will be able to give, because you more you will have.

Now remember, you must first fill yourself with Light before you can send it. If you just think to yourself, "Oh yeah, send them Light," that’s a nice thought, but that is not actually sending them Light. A Light beam may go out with that thought, but it does not have the endurance, the strength, the potency of a focused Light. It is like a flash of Light through the sky compared to the Light of the sun shining upon the Earth. It isn’t wrong to just have the thought. It just isn’t very effective in helping someone else the way the meditative sending of Light is. As you fill yourself and send your Light, you are constantly refilled, constantly receiving, and so you find yourself stronger. So sending Light to others is good for you, too. It is a very positive thing.

You never have to hesitate and wonder if you are doing the right thing to send someone else Light. If someone is very ill, never wonder if you are hurrying their body’s death by sending Light. You are not deciding by sending Light. You are only supporting another soul, and that is very good and very loving.
