“Sometimes I feel my prayers are practice- the mindfulness practice- to help compose my mind refocus on the moment and possibly ‘incline the mind to insight'”.

“Inclining the mind is a term I learned from one of my Buddhist teachers. It means calling to mind something that you intellectually know is true in order to be able to understand it more directly, more completely.”

With the help of Boorstein practically my whole day is a prayer. Mental Training. I know my prayers are even more effective than those formula prayers I used to recite unmindfully.

Those formula prayers conditioned me to be a worrier, to be a scared martyr always using those formulas as crutch. I did not realize till I had Boorstein as a guide how much time I wasted not using my God-given gifts and powers.
