Feel the energy starting with your hands and if you maintain the sensation of being connected to that energy as you pray you can be more deeply immersed in your prayer. The reason is that the entire universe is composed of the energy youre feeling with your hands right now. When you maintain that feeling of connection with the universe as you pray for the great hopes and dreams cherished by your soul you are broadcasting your prayer to the entire universe as your audience. If the whole universe is resonating with your dream and working with you to make your dream come true wouldnt that lend great strength to you
