Prayer & Metta, Can They Heal?

This is a video of Dr. Mercola Interviewing Dr. Larry Dossey, see some of his books below.   It’s not mainly about premonitions, In this part of a multi-part series, they discuss early in the video how prayer can affect others even across space. Dr. Dossey mentions studies that seem to support this idea. The reason I recommend this video here, is that some people need or want science to support some spiritual ideas;  especially if the latter is new to them. While prayer is not identical to metta, it struck me as supportive of metta practices’ producing benefit not just for the practitioner but for the individual or being that is the “object’ of the practice. Metta is loving-kindness meditation, for more– I’ve mentioned it in previous posts .  Teachers have told me in my studies that the practice of metta is really for ourselves as it softens the selfishness and self-clinging of the heart.  Metta practice also seems to soothe angry or upset states of mind.

On a more material plane level, I believe that metta and other meditative practices provide crucial help to align us with our purpose here on this planet and manifest that with greater clarity. This topic is what my podcasts are focused on as shifts continue to happen in our lives, culture, government and world.  Beginning a daily spiritual practice is highly recommended.
