Heightened prayer? One may say prayer is prayer. What a false conception.

True prayer is making divine contact with the Source. When one prays they should silence the mind, and resolve to hear if your “plea” will be granted.

Some of the best ways to pray include silencing the mind through meditation, pranayama, and most definately Samadhi.

Samadhi or what Christianity calls the “second death” by nature is one of divine union. God the Source of Cosmic creation (the same essence as your soul) becomes witnessed while in Samadhi.

Because one can make contact in Samadhi, by definition Samadhi would be considered higher prayer.

Making contact and waiting to hear from the Source (God) the belief and faith in desires becoming realized not only increases (if you receive a guaranteed response) but if it won’t be granted you could possibly learn why.

This direct communication is what masters the likes of Jesus, Babaji, Patanjali, Buddha, and even Yogananda use. As discussed previously the importance of Samadhi (for many reasons not just for contactive prayer) should never be understated.

Practice pranayama, meditation, and yoga postures. Find a mantra of choice and repeate it faithfully. By practicing everyday and gradually building up time in Sadhana (practice) one will without a doubt reach the limits of Samadhi.
