Techniques in Prayer Therapy

This book gave me so many thought provoking tools to work with, truly inspiring a must read.

Joseph Murphy was my first metaphysical teacher, through his writings. He has an excellent teacher, with a simple style, always with many testamonials. I would recommend any of his books. He is one of the pioneers in the field.

You will find this book of Dr. Murphy's simply amazing, comforting, and certainly enlightening. This is just simply too good to not read, and it begs to be used.

Sometimes we cannot find the right words when we're praying. Sometimes we just plead and beg and focus on what we do not want to happen and, in our turmoil, we don't know how to get the answers we seek. It happens when we are scared or angry, struggling with the unknown, or grieving a loss; we keep that negative low energy around with the thoughts and words we use during prayer and it does a number on us subconsciously. This book gives insight to how to think about our prayers, how to phrase our prayers, and how to ready ourselves for receiving answers to our prayers. It also helps with those difficult times in our lives when we need to focus on the positive, and not be bogged down or interrupted by our own interfering negative thoughts or the negativity around us. It may not happen to you overnight; it may take some practice. It's good practice! The book is not religion-specific. It is a good guide into prayer work, how it works, and how prayer can resonate goodness within your life and the lives of others by knowing how to interact and connect with yourself and God, and how to open ourselves up to experience God's Grace. In his book, Dr. Murphy shows how to stop blocking the answers which we seek. Dr. Murphy also discusses how imagination and thoughts have a "corresponding emotional reaction," and how those reactions influence us. I was happy a friend recommended this book. I hope it works for you.

This book is useful as it is also mystical. Should be useful to contemporarary personality who are interested in the integration between eastern and western wisdom. I find this approach complements and illuminates each other. Excellent. Good price. good read.(PS I am a chinese catholic who has 6 of his 8 university degrees from Australian universities)
