Master Class: Centering Prayer with Louise Sloan Goben, D. Min.

The curriculum of Healing Touch Spiritual Ministry refers to healing work as prayer work. It states, "Prayer is energy. Prayer is connection - attunement to the Divine."

The practice of Centering Prayer is an expression of our intention to connect more closely with God, and to allow God to pray in us! ... to connect with us, giving and receiving. It is a form of contemplative prayer rooted in ancient practices of the Church, and based on the wisdom saying of Jesus.

"When you pray, go into your inner room, close the door and pray to your Father in secret. And your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you." (Matt. 6:6)
