Prayer and the Five Stages of Healing: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Prayer and the Five Stages of Healing" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Prayer is the key to healing, not only physically, but spiritually and emotionally. Ron Roths Prayer and the Five Stages of Healing is a guidebook to developing an effective prayer life and to integrating prayer into every aspect of daily life. The first half of this book traces the relationship of prayer to five distinct phases of healing based on the classic stages of enlightenment found in the mystical literature of the world. These stages, known as the awakening, purification, illumination, dark night of the soul, and divine union, represent significant evolutions in spiritual life that lead to what the author calls healing into wholeness. The second half of the book is devoted to advanced methods of prayer drawn from Ron Roths many years of experience with prayer and healing. He shares his personal secrets for praying in the energy of the saints, learning to use silence and solitude, invoking the sacred throughout the day, and making forgiveness the linchpin to genuine and effective prayer. Each chapter in both parts of the book contains one or more prayers and spiritual exercises designed to help the reader learn to implement the authors teachings in a direct, experiential way that will deepen the experience of prayer even as the reader learns the theoretical underpinnings of prayer and healing.

Contents

I am eternally grateful to the many people whose love has empowered me over the years and whose support has taken me to new heights of service. It is my prayer that all of them be continually blessed by God in such a way that they truly recognize that life is not only a gift, but a celebration.

First and foremost, I am grateful to my family and friends, who form my core support group. This includes my spiritual family, who are committed to pray daily for me and the work entrusted to me by the Divine Spirit.

I am also grateful to Peter Occhiogrosso, who is more than a coworker; he is a true friend and confidant.

To my office manager and secretary, Marilyn Carr, for the efficiency and care she expresses in her work, as well as for being a friend for over 40 years.

To my agent, Muriel Nellis; to my editor, Jill Kramer; to Louise Hay, Reid Tracy, Barbara Bouse, and all my family at Hay House, without whose support for my work this book might not have been realized.

To Kathleen Noone, who has graced my life with her continual love, encouragement, and radiance.

To Rani Stoler, a dear friend whose media expertise has helped bring my message of God's healing love to a wider audience.

To my friends, Carole Dean; Carol Joyce; Alan and Robin Neuman; Dolores Myss, my other mother, who considers me a member of her own family; and to Toni Boehm; Patricia Treece; Ralph Sariego; and the entire staff of The Conference Works.

To all of you go my prayers for continual blessings and God's peace.

One seeks God in books; one finds him in prayer.
Padre Pio

T hese words of Padre Pio, the 20th-century Italian mystic to whom I feel a close attachment, sum up both my dilemma and my only recourse. No book can supply a surefire road map to the Divine; the best one can hope to do is point pilgrims to the path and help them on their way. The journey will be completed only under God's direction. What I can and do hope to accomplish in this book is to establish the link between prayer and healing, and explore the many ramifications of that connection.

When people ask me how to heal themselves, I tell them to pray for others to be healed. They sometimes look at me askance, as if it couldn't possibly be that simpleor that paradoxical. And yet the link between prayer and healing is so direct that if you take the time to learn just a few basic principles about prayer, along with a few uncomplicated techniques for praying, you can change your life completely.

The first principle we need to accept is that we can no longer look at prayer as some kind of adjunct to life, or as a peripheral aspect of the spiritual pathlike that yoga workshop you take every summer, or the occasional weekend retreat. Prayer cannot be something you do only once a week, at church on Sunday, at the temple on Saturday, or at the mosque on Friday. It can't even be something you do for an hour every morning or evening. I am convinced that we cannot make much progress at all along the path unless prayer is as intimately integrated into our daily life as breathing. When St. Paul advised his followers to pray without ceasing he didn't mean that in some metaphorical or hyperbolic sensehe meant it literally.

That does not mean that your lips should be engaged in rattling off preexisting prayers every minute of the day. More than words or formulas, prayer is awareness. You can pray while driving to work in the morning, while changing the baby, making dinner, swimming in a lake, or watching television (although I don't recommend the latter). Prayer is a way of invoking the sacred in your life, and once you acquire the habit of prayer, you can make all of your actions sacred acts.
