What Is the 4-Step Prayer
First of all, the 4-Step Prayer is a prayer where we go through 4 main steps, in a logical sequence, which connects us to universal energies and may enhance our requests. Even so, even if you don’t believe in God, you can still benefit from it.
How the 4-Step Prayer Works
For it to work at its full potential, it should be followed in the order described. After all, we must first give thanks, connect, and give, BEFORE asking for anything.
In this way, the chances of receiving responses to our requests from the Universe and God are believed to be higher.
There is also another simultaneous benefit: gratitude is part of the process and raises our vibration, which can also increase the likelihood of sleeping more efficiently. After all, sleeping at higher frequencies may project us into planes of alignment where both our spiritual evolution and physical rest are improved.
In addition, the chance of waking up during the night due to a “call of the light” to help improve the Earth’s psyche may be reduced, since you have already made your contribution before going to sleep. If you want to learn more about this, read my other article: “Why Do I Always Wake Up at 3 AM?“.
4-Step Connection: Video
In summary, I explained the 4 steps of the Connection in less than 1 minute in the following video (it’s also written below, ok?):
Below is a video from Luz da Serra — where I learned how to do this connection, with Bruno Gimenes teaching it in practice (starting at minute 13:41). Right after, I summarize the method in writing.
4-Step Prayer: How to Do It
In conclusion, all 4 steps together take about 4 to 12 minutes. It is also called the “4-Step Connection.”
Here is the method:
- Take about 20 deep breaths;
- Give thanks (even if your day is just beginning, be grateful simply for being alive and having the opportunity to do your best today);
- Share the connection with those on the same frequency (visualize and send the energy of gratitude you anchored to others who are connected, strengthening the effect of the next steps);
- Offer energy / help the world. Feeling the intensified energy field after sharing it with others, dedicate it to global causes (e.g., world peace, hospitals, conflict zones — mentally direct positive energy to those who need it most);
- Make your requests and declarations (now, ask for what you desire);
- Wait and remain with your eyes closed for about 2 minutes, simply receiving the vibrations of everything you created.
It’s worth sharing that starting with step 1 (gratitude) was decisive in my spiritual awakening and third eye opening (I share it here), and I’ve seen it happen in other people’s lives as well.
In this way, sincere gratitude for being alive and for what you already have holds powerful energy to attract more of the same, while also opening you to connect with higher levels. 💜
