To be honest, I was raised that praying was the weak or inactive choice, so it isn't my go to option. That being said, I do a lot of journaling or reading tarot cards which I think is just another form of gathering insights or a way to prompt your gut reactions. And I do also sometimes just wait in the quiet. I'm not sure where I recently heard that God already knows our problems or questions, so really it's waiting or receiving the answers. So maybe these are my forms of prayers? They are how I open up to the divine. It just looks and sounds different. If that were true, I journal every morning as a way to sort my day and also whenever I feel disregulated and something needs to be sorted out. Maybe together on the page He and I find some sort of peace. I certainly always feel better. I do like this idea of journaling as praying.
I feel the pressure of the world as this pull, a constant pull - I have a thought I feel pulled to react, I see someone in trouble I feel pulled to react, I often feel pulled in many directions what is the highest priority? As I've been working on meditation, I've been learning to see/heat/,experience those thoughts but not feel that impetuous to act, that instant pull. And that has been truly freeing. I have become a much calmer person able to examine things and my own energy levels and thoughts and ideas before taking things on rather than being pulled in instantly. It has been good and hard work. And it is also constant work. - Jamie
