How To Pray the Shaman’s Way by Jose Stevens

THE NINE KEYS TO SUCCESSFUL PRAYER

The nine keys to success prayer from a shamanic perspective are:

1. Staying present: When stated in the present, as if the object of your focus were already true, your prayers have greater power.
2. Praying from the heart: Prayers stated with emotional intensity provide the fuel that propels prayers and affirmations into reality. Sometimes the most powerful prayers are wordless
3. Clear wording: When you pray with words, be clear. Prayers that are clear, unequivocal, concise, and focused produce the best results.
4. Praying without doubt: When you choose to pray without giving any attention or energy to doubt, you are affirming your trust in Spirit, thereby sending affirmative energy to creating what your soul desires. A prayer or decree can leave no room for doubt.
5. Praying with “I Am”: An effective prayer makes frequent use of the words “I Am” focusing on the source point in the heart.
6. Praying with inspiration: Prayers that are inspirational, dramatic, and luminous are most powerful. Prayers that entrance us with rhyme, repetition, or rhythm have the deepest influence.
7. Praying with intent and vision: When prayers are accompanied by firm intent and clear vision they magnetize the most powerful results.
8. Listening: Prayers that end with quiet meditation, contemplation, or listening are highly effective. The listening part may result in a two-way conversation.
9. Action: Prayers that are followed by some kind of action or application have the greatest possibility of bringing quick results.

Now that you know the nine keys to successful prayer, let us discuss the attitude that you bring to prayer, for this is immensely important in determining their outcome.

Your attitude toward prayer betrays your beliefs about your life and about whom you believe God is. Here are the seven possible attitudes you can bring to prayer.
