Woman Unveils 'Prayer Tools' To Help With Spiritual Insight
Author: Jessica Ravitz Source: The Salt Lake Tribune (UT)
Title: WOMAN UNVEILS 'PRAYER TOOLS' TO HELP WITH SPIRITUAL INSIGHT
As a child, Tracey saw things others didn't.
Her grandmother beckoned the 7-year-old girl to sit in her lap, while Tracey was at the woman's funeral. Two years later, the young girl was practicing piano when she says her grandfather sat down beside her to chat. Seconds later, Tracey's mother got a phone call from a hospital, saying the man had passed away.
These experiences came naturally to Tracey, who does not use a last name. She doesn't believe they were gifts bestowed upon her. Nor does she see these moments as sacrilegious. Everyone has the ability to see and learn from the spiritual realm, she says.
"We've all had a gut feeling," she explains. "God created us equal."
But because most people don't cultivate these instincts the way she has and because even she can use added guidance, Tracey - of Tarot by Tracey and the force behind Murray's School of Medium Arts and Predictive Sciences - wants to increase accessibility to spiritual insights.

...it depends on what you classify as tools, and what you classify as prayer.
As far as I'm concerned, anything you use during a ritual is a "tool". Incense, sage, herbs, water, bowls, athames, wands - anything. I believe that we can all achieve what we do in ritual without the ritual tools, but we have to learn to do it alone and without help. That herb that is supposed to enhance cash flow? You wouldn't need it if you were sufficiently trained to access the energy of cash flow without the herb, so it's a tool. Incense that puts you in a spiritual frame of mind? A tool to help you connect easier.
I'm not down on any of these things - I love herbs and incense and use them readily!
As for prayer, connecting to deity trying to bring forth the energy to manifest what you want is sort of what we do with spells. Don't we ask Gods and Goddesses with attributes similar to the ones we are trying to bring out of ourselves? I know I don't call on Aphrodite for a healing spell, or the Fates for a spell aimed at bringing out my beauty. I feel like that's asking for their help just like Christians ask their God for help - only we ask lots of deities instead of one.
Just some things to ponder.

for myself, I don't even need "tools" to connect with the spiritual realm. And as far as I am concerned, Praying is nothing more than a glorified form of begging.... if the xtian "gawd" wants that, he can go get himself a dog! I feel most attuned with the spiritual when I an walking in the wood and can connect with Mother Earth. All I have to do is completely clear my mind and let the power flow through me. I feel EMPOWERED, not humiliated.... Sheesh, I don't do it enough! Anyone have similar experiences?
Love to all
