Publisher's summary

"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.

Another Classic

Eduardo Ballerini’s narration of Thich Nhat Hanh is superb. The content is thoughtful, offers good guidance, and tells of the power of prayer as a means of spiritual exercise.

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.

Refreshing

It was interested to hear prayer broken down from this perspective. I'm looking forward to being more conscience when I pray. Thank you

The Energy of Prayer

This book is amazing. I plan to listen to it again and again and buy a copy for my library. The reading by narrator in itself draws you in and gives you a sense of peace. I will encourage family to listen or read this book.
