The quality of a prayer
There are several conditions that must be fulfilled, so that our prayers can bring the desired benefit to the world.

- 1. Faith
The absolute and unconditional faith in God, and the faith that we are capable of changing the situation in Russia and the whole world with the help of our prayers.
- 2. Love
The performing of our prayers from the highest point of unconditional Love to one's neighbor, the Motherland, the planet, and the whole of creation.
- 3. Reverence
Reverence for God, the Masters, and the Higher world.
- 4. Selflessness
The understanding that God Himself can dispose of the energy that we give to Him when praying, at His own discretion. The unconditional sacrifice of the energy.
- 5. Humility
The understanding that we are in the hands of God. And we are ready to obey the Will of God, whatever it may be.
- 6. Children's state of consciousness
We are the children sitting on the shores of the ocean of the Divine Wisdom, trying to perceive this Wisdom with our childish inquisitive mind.
- 7. Repentance
The understanding that we have been wrong many times. The confessions of our sins and repentance for them. The repentance facilitates our karmic burden by half. Even prior the prayer, we are freed from extra loads.
- 8. The motive
The right motivation will be if we pray not for ourselves but for others, for our country, for peace and for the happiness of all living beings.
If we are able to meet these conditions, then we will be able to achieve the prayerful state of consciousness where there is an upward flow of energy from us to God and a downward one of the more subtle energy from God into our being. In this state, the Grace of God is becoming available to us.
Of course, the achievement of the prayerful state of consciousness requires the application of our everyday efforts for many years.
Just as athletes train daily to achieve results at the Olympics, so a prayer requires constant practice and diligence.
You can start performing your prayer with 15 minutes a day, gradually increasing the time to an hour or more.

in the dictations of the Masters.
In order to perform the prayer practice effectively, the physical conditions should be observed.

- 1. A place for a prayer
It is desirable to have a permanent place for praying, before the Altar. There should be the pictures of the Masters, flowers, icons, candles and crystals… on the Altar, everything capable of elevating your consciousness and creating the Divine attunement.
The room should be tidied and aired.
- 2. Preparation of the physical body
Do not eat meat. Do not use alcohol, nicotine or drugs. Do not pray on a full stomach, at least two hours after a meal or on an empty stomach.
The body should be clean. The clothes should be neat and clean, white or light colored.
Do not watch TV. Do not listen to poor-quality music.
- 3. Conditions
It is advisable to be aware of the silence at the time of the prayer. It is good to pray together with your whole family. Arrange with your family for the TVs, radio, and music to be turned off during the prayer, if for some reason you cannot pray with the whole family.
Turn off cell phones.
In a large city, the night or the time before dawn is ideal for a prayer, when the fuss moves away and there is silence.
- 4. Harmonization and attunement
You should come into a harmonious, balanced state of consciousness 20 - 30 minutes before the prayer. You need to find your own methods of harmonization: the listening to calm music, mantras or watching meditative movies, etc.
