Start your focus on getting more Prayer into your life with this free downloadable coloring card.

WHY PRAYER IS IMPORTANT:

Having more prayer in your life will support your connection with Source and a reminder to always call on Source for support.  We lose prayer when we experience to many anxious feelings in our life.  There is to much on our plate, to much going on so we lose a connection with Source.  Sometimes, it’s hard to find prayer because we are anxious and feeling disconnected from Source.  Anxiety is the opposite of prayer.  ‘Do not be anxious about anything, pray about everything.’ (Philippians 4:6)  When we reconnect with prayer, we let anxiety go and pray about everything. We feel connected, supported and loved. Our life becomes an act of worship with prayer.   Only then can we receive answer to our prayers. 

HOW COLORING CAN HELP:

Coloring intentional words helps you to engage with the present by noticing and focusing on the quality you want to bring into your life.  While doing this, the mind will wander, but it should always be brought back to the object of focus without judging or being distracted by the content of those wandering thoughts. While moving your crayon, pen, or colored pencil through the intricate shapes on the page, your mind is focusing, often to the exclusion of unpleasant thoughts and the feelings which accompany them.

Coloring calms activity in the amygdala, a part of the brain that handles the “fight or flight” response. This response is a condition in which the body is in a heightened  state of panic and hyper-vigilance—it’s your brain trying to help you fight against something dangerous or, alternatively, to help you flee from it.  This can lead to inflammation—a state in which the body has been overstimulated by stress hormones, and is harming and exhausting itself. You may already know that inflammation is the root of many disorders, including asthma, high blood pressure, Alzheimer’s, and arthritis, and is a silent killer.  Coloring disarms the amygdala, which, in turn, calms our bodies and brains.
