Preparing with Prayer is a ritual to ground yourself and create a sense of focus and connection before starting a session. Begin by selecting a spiritual or religious prayer that resonates with your personal beliefs. If you prefer, you can adapt an existing prayer or create one that aligns with your intentions for the session.

Recite the prayer slowly, either silently or aloud, allowing its meaning to center your thoughts and emotions. Use this moment to invite higher guidance, reflect on your purpose, and cultivate a sense of peace. This simple practice fosters presence and confidence, helping you approach the session with clarity and alignment.

This practice is inspired by Father Thomas Keating’s Centering Prayer approach, which emphasizes grounding oneself and seeking spiritual guidance.
