But pessimism, fear, anxiety, negativity, and lack of hope all seem so heavy and dark, and an unfulfilling way to go through life.

The Art of Manifesting With Quantum Prayer
Quantum Prayer is simply the act of empowered receiving. While we are intending to connect with the Divine to receive guidance, we do so knowing that we are already complete, already whole and already One with the All. We allow we make welcome, we trust, we surrender to the flow.
