The Energy of Prayer

How to Deepen Your Spiritual Practice

De: Thich Nhat Hanh

Narrado por: Edoardo Ballerini

"The act of praying is not just an empty wish, because behind each prayer there is a practice of mindfulness and concentration." (Thich Nhat Hanh, from The Energy of Prayer)

In this extraordinary celebration of spirituality, The Energy of Prayer demonstrates the relevance of prayer in our daily lives. Thich Nhat Hanh reveals how the energy of prayer and meditation allow us to reconnect with our higher selves while satisfying our basic need to connect with the world as a whole. With a generous spirit that acknowledges the many different types and functions of prayer, The Energy of Prayer provides a guide for deepening our spiritual practice through the use of prayer.

Thich Nhat Hanh introduces the listener to several meditation methods that reenvision prayer as an open, inclusive, and accessible practice that helps create healthy lives through the power of awareness and intention. This audiobook includes visualization and breathing exercises as well as a rich sampling of prayers, chants, and invocations from the Buddhist tradition.

Unlike any other

Forget anything you have read on prayer. Unlike other books on the subject this looks at why and what prayer is. This also includes a unique step to charge your prayer practice. It really shows unities of every path. It might be short, but it is one of those rare pearls which you might move onto your device permanently. This is freeing because unlike other books on the topic it is not about converting it is a tool.

Great book review by Sambath

Great book but need to know more about Buddhism to truly understand the contents and teaching.

Add this to your library!

More sage wisdom and practical, prayerful insight from my favorite Zen master, Thich Nhat Hanh.

Profoundly Transformational

Enjoyed this immensely. The message in each chapter resonated so deeply I found peace and comfort within my soul. This book made me want to find my tribe of spirits here having a human experience. Waiting to reconnect with you all. ❤️

Amazingly Peaceful

I can’t even tell you how much I cried when I listened to this. The actual sense of connection you start to develop to everything and everyone in this world, was what got me. I always took pride in being separate, independent, me, but I was completely blown away after realizing that this is what’s gotten in my way my entire life. The ability to pray for others and myself alike, intertwines us all. The beauty of the authors words when speaking about others, really does make you want to give more of yourself. I have a lot more to practice in terms of rooting my connection to existence during prayer, but I plan to keep working on it. I’m going to listen to and read this book for years to come.
