In a nutshell, Braden encourages us to feel the gratitude in our hearts as if the prayer has already been answered. I was taught that a prayer was a request to God, but in Braden’s book the author offers a different perspective derived from much different ancient wisdom. This freedom continued to grow when not too long ago, I came across a great book called: Secrets of the Lost Mode of Prayer, by Gregg Braden that helped me to truly understand the concept of gratitude as a prayer, which in turn, brought profound inner peace and joy into my heart. I came across the following sentence: “Every thought is a prayer.” This sentence rung beautifully in my heart as it gave me a sense of freedom that I didn’t know I could have. Twenty years ago, as I began a spiritual and healing journey, I realized that I had even more options. It took me a few years to change my paradigms and open up to all the new possibilities.
Catholicism, as many other religions, is filled with traditions, rituals, and “the right way to do things.” I didn’t know any different, so when I arrived to the US at the age of 19, I was in awe of all the different religions and options available to people for religious denominations. Growing up in Chile over 55 years ago, I had no option but to be a Catholic, since at that time 98% of the population practiced that religion in our country.
