Prayer — Speaking to the Universe

There is a deep truth woven into the fabric of life: the Universe is always listening.
The universe acts as one great loom with vibrating strings, and your thoughts, voice, energy all creates vibrations that carry messages across the universe. This vibrating consciousness is omnipresent and omniscient, like God, a part of God, but it is not the Source of God.
And when people all over the world seek an audience with God, they pray.
Prayer is one of the most ancient and misunderstood forms of communication with the universe. When you pray, when you set an intention, when you call out to the universe — you are not placing an order to be fulfilled. You are beginning a conversation and in order to be heard, you will need to tune your frequency to harmonize with the greater field of life.
And the universe will meet you with energy.
Without tuning into this harmony, your prayers, and its answers, are often lost in translation.
Magic Is Not Transactional — It’s Relational
I used to hope that if I prayed clearly enough, or manifested with enough precision, my requests would be delivered exactly as I pictured them. But what I’ve come to understand is this: the universe always answers — but not always in the way we expect.
After my daughter was born, I remember feeling completely overwhelmed, exhausted, longing for help. I prayed — with every fiber of my being — for an extra pair of hands to hold her so I could focus on my work, my writing, my restoration.
And no one arrived at my doorstep.
But the next morning, something had changed, I felt infused with strength that went beyond physical rest. It was as if invisible hands had steadied mine, as if life itself had risen to meet me.
I had prayed for help, and the universe had placed the help within me.
The prayer was answered. In a way better than I could have imagined. It allowed me to be with her fully, rather than wishing her away to someone else’s care.
And here’s the thing: the universe cannot force people to our door. It will not override free will. It can guide, nudge, and whisper — and perhaps a few people did think of me strongly and considered reaching out — but ultimately, they didn’t.
When an extra pair of hands didn’t appear, the universe strengthened mine.
This is the nature of energetic conversations with the universe.
The Universe Responds to Resonance, Not Entitlement
Here is a truth that many avoid: the universe does not respond to entitlement, orders, selfishness, desperation, it does not interfere with fate or freewill. When we ask from fear, or grasp from desperation, we create dissonance in the field. But when we come with open hands and an open heart — from a place of gratitude and humility — the universe responds in kind.
If you keep demanding without offering your own energy of love, care, and gratitude, the conversation falls flat.cThe field resists the pull of entitlement.
But when you tune your energy, when you harmonize your intention, when you offer love and openness into the field — the universe moves toward you like a magnet.
Tools Are Tuning Forks
Sound, song, and mantra are so powerful. Not because they command the universe like a servant, but because they tune you to the frequency of communion. When you chant, hum, or sing sacred sounds, you are aligning your vibration with the subtle energies of life. You become the tuning fork.
Your sound waves ripple through the veil to help you harmonize with the energy of the universe.
This is why ancient traditions across the globe use sound as prayer: to align the self with the field of possibility and to vibrate with the creative pulse of the universe itself.
All Prayers Are Answered — But Not All Are Fulfilled as Desired
The hard truth: some prayers cannot be answered in the form we desire.
They may ask for things that violate universal law, karma, or natural consequence.
But help is always given.
Sometimes, the answer is not external help — it is internal fortification.
Sometimes, the answer is not speed — it is patience, cultivated in the waiting.
Sometimes, the answer is not prevention — it is wisdom born from experience.
It may feel like the universe has gone deaf to your pleas, but answers always come. And sometimes its a “no, not that.”
How to Stay in Conversation with the Universe
1. Begin with gratitude: Gratitude is the magnetic field that amplifies your signal.
2. Offer energy before asking for energy: Love, care, and respect for the process keep the conversation alive.
3. Use tools to tune yourself: Mantras, song, breath — these harmonize your energy to receive.
4. Watch for answers beyond your expectations: The response may come as strength, patience, clarity, or unseen support.
5. Respect the rhythms of timing: Trust that some answers arrive only when the field is ready.
You Are Always in Conversation with the Universe
You are not a passive observer in this life. You are a co-creator, a participant, a living vibration in the great conversation of existence.
Every breath you take, every intention you set, every song you sing sends ripples across this field. That is the unconscious prayer — the energy you send, not just the requests you make.
And as you send your energy outward, the universe — like a great tide — flows back toward you.
