Divine Will Healing By Mary Kretzmann, Director of Ananda Healing Prayer Ministry
This reverence to the Infinite, God, is essential for true spiritual healing. Always remember that
we are serving as willing instruments for a much greater power than our own little selves.
Paramhansa Yogananda said, “Just heal and forget. Say, ‘God is the Healer!’”
Chanting and Meditation: You can lead a chant (Door of My Heart, Ever New Joy, or any
others you know). We try to use chants that either energize the group or develop empathy and
compassion. However, since so many prayer requests can be sad, it is good to start with
something joyful, or heart opening. You can read the poem, I Was Made for Thee (see attached)
by Paramhansa Yogananda, or one of his healing affirmations These help us to open our hearts
and tune in to divine healing energy.
Meditate for 10 – 15 minutes depending on the length of the service and the
number of healing prayers. If your healing prayer service directly follows Sunday service or a
meditation, then this can be shorted to several minutes, simply to interiorize again before doing
the healing prayers. In general, you want to feel inspired to do the prayers. Your group might
also enjoy this A Way to Awakening online video series by Swami Kriyananda.
Healing Prayers: These techniques are in your Ananda Healing Prayer Council packet.
• Start with some of the simple “Divine Mother” prayers – in the “three shorter Healing
Prayer techniques
• You can also do the “Longer Deeper Healing Prayer Technique” if you feel comfortable
with it, and if you think your group is ready for it
• Near the end of the prayer session, you can lead general healing prayers for the planet,
and for Ananda worldwide.
• Close with sending three AUMS for general blessings to all truth seeking souls, and a
prayer of gratitude to God, Christ, Guru for the opportunity to serve the Light. A simple
pronam or bow completes this, and serves as a way to give it all back to God.
Basic Divine Mother Prayer:
My eyes were made a chalice to hold Thy burning love and the wisdom falling
from Thy nature’s hands.
My ears were made to catch the music of Thy footsteps echoing through the halls
of space, and to hear Thy divine melodies flowing through all heart-tracts of
devotion.
My lips were made to breathe forth Thy praises and Thine intoxicating
inspirations.
My love was made to throw incandescent search-light flames to find Thee hidden
in the forest of my desires.
My soul was made to be the channel through which Thy love might flow
uninterruptedly into all thirsty souls.
