Prayer Is Not Begging: What Effective Prayer Really Looks like

from The New Ashla Podcast: Cultivating Consciousness through Inner Work and Self-Mastery · host Justin V Gates and Michael Perry

In this episode of The New Ashla Podcast, Justin V. Gates and Michael Perry explore what effective prayer really means. Many people think prayer is simply asking, begging, or pleading for the Divine to intervene. But through the teachings of Ashla, prayer becomes something deeper: alignment.This conversation reframes prayer as the conscious turning of the self toward the Light until thought, feeling, trust, and action begin to move together. Drawing from The Power of Your Subconscious Mind, the episode explores how desire, belief, feeling, and inner acceptance shape the deeper mind, and why prayer becomes more powerful when it moves from panic into presence.Justin and Michael discuss why prayer is more than asking, how desire can become a form of prayer, why the conscious and subconscious must come into harmony, and why prayer must eventually become embodied through right action. Prayer is not about convincing the Universe. It is about becoming receptive to the Light already available within and around us.At its heart, this episode is about learning to live the prayer. To stop praying from fear alone and begin praying from alignment, trust, and sacred cooperation with the Light.Get the book here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://a.co/d/4ADHZyA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/NewAshla⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/JustinVGates⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@justinvgates?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.youtube.com/@KnightsofAwakening⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.youtube.com/@TemplumLumis⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: www.newashla.comKeywordseffective prayer, prayer is not begging, affirmative prayer, spiritual alignment, Ashla, New Ashla Podcast, Justin V Gates, Michael Perry, subconscious mind, Joseph Murphy, The Power of Your Subconscious Mind, desire as prayer, conscious mind, subconscious mind, inner alignment, spiritual growth, faith, trust, divine guidance, prayer practice, metaphysical prayer, self mastery, the Light, the Force, embodied prayer, spiritual discipline, prayer and action, healing prayer, manifestation and prayer, inner coherence
