From The Author ~ How To Use The Prayer Book:
Before you begin reading and reflecting on the prayers in this book, please put away your electronic devices and find a quiet place where you will feel free from distractions.
Select the same time each day, if you can, to make using this book a part of your daily routine. Make your reading space inviting. Light candles or fill the room with fragrant incense. Sit, make yourself comfortable, and breathe deeply until you feel relaxed.
If you need help focusing, you can rub your fingers together, feel the sensation, and concentrate on it.
When you’re ready, begin reading the spirit-filled reflections in this book.
Read aloud, whisper, or read silently.
Slow down.
Take your time.
Be mindful and be intentional.
When you receive a spirit-soul insight, write it down and lovingly reflect upon it throughout your day.
Always place your focus on receiving peace.

Excerpt Quote and Prayer
to reflect upon
*******
“Embrace laughter
as your funniest best friend.”
Laughter Has the Power to Heal
Your Mind, Body, and Soul
There are endless stories of people
who have been cured from an incurable illness
and from emotional disorders
with the unique power of laughter.
If you cannot laugh, then try to smile.
Smiling is kind.
Smiling is sweet.
Smiling is welcoming.
Smiling is always encouraging.
Smiling decreases stress.
Smiling opens the door for laughter
to come in.
Smile at your loved ones.
Smile at your pets,
and gradually you will begin to laugh from
your heart.
When it’s hard to laugh,
look at yourself in the mirror and make faces
at yourself. Then, you’ll begin.
Laughter stimulates your mind, your heart,
your lungs and your muscles by increasing
endorphins.
Laughter is fun.
So, spend time with lighthearted people
who will uplift your spirit.
