Welcome, Pilgrim, to a conversation with God. This portion of the website is set aside for your personal--and totally private--communication with Spirit. When you press "send" the e-mail will dispel into the universe. No one will read it but you and God.

If you know what you want to say, go ahead with your e-mail:

If you’re not sure, or would like some assistance, consider the following:

1. State Your Intention
Begin by stating your intention for communion with Spirit. We all have moments when we desperately want God to make someone else do something we want them to do. But deep inside, we know this is futile. After all, would we want others praying desperately to God to make us do something we don’t want to do? The purpose of prayer is not to get God to do our bidding. Sorry. The purpose of prayer is to change us, not God! So, state your intention to seek the highest good for all.

If you don’t know how to do that, or don’t feel ready, just visualize God’s perfect white light surrounding you. That image will comfort your soul and send the universe the message that you are prepared to be in the light, and seek the light, and spread the light.

2. Breathe
Take three deep cleansing breaths to relax your body and focus your mind. Breathe in deeply through your nose and release every drop of breath through your mouth. Three times. If you are deeply stressed, take nine cleansing breaths. Take your time. God isn’t going anywhere.

3. Begin
This is not an ordinary e-mail; this is a sacred e-mail. Write “Dear God,” at the top. Or, if you prefer, use another salutation that feels right to you. The name doesn't matter. God in Spiritual Geography is whatever or whoever you perceive God to be. Addressing God directly shifts your consciousness and opens a pathway to your soul.

4. Open Up
With your heart and mind open and ready, begin by sharing your experiences. If you write quickly, you’ll have a better chance of communicating honestly. The most important thing is to not edit yourself. Do not leave out a detail because it’s too awful or say something because you think you should say it. (Do you really think God doesn’t already know?!)

5. Listen Up
After you’ve told your story, ask God for guidance and understanding. (You actually have a chance of hearing it now that you’ve gotten yourself out of the way by venting your troubles and frustrations.) When you ask a question, keep writing, even if what’s coming doesn’t make sense or doesn’t seem to be related to the question. Don’t be surprised to find words on the screen that you didn’t know you were thinking or questions you didn’t know you had. Just write your thoughts as they come, without judgment or editing.

6. Be Grateful
Say, “Thank you.” You have much to be grateful for: You have been heard by All-That-Is.

7. Send
When you are ready, push “send” and your e-mail will dissolve into the ether. It is, and was, only one thing: energy. And that energy still and always exists between you and your creator.

8. Return
This may come as a surprise to you, but God is always standing by waiting to whisper in your soul’s ear. But you can’t hear that small, glorious voice until you show up, focused and ready to hear. Come back and communicate with God as often as you like. Once you get in the habit, and begin to reap the rich rewards, you will find this type of prayer an essential part of your daily spiritual practice.

What, you didn’t think you were praying? E-mailing God is communicating with God, right? Two-way communication. And that is the definition of prayer: two-way communication or communion with the divine. So, welcome, Pilgrim, to a new form of prayer—a highly-effective form of prayer. To learn more about this form of prayer read an excerpt from A Brief Tutorial on Sacred Journaling on this site or the full text in one of the Spiritual Geography books.

In the near future the site will offer will a Spiritual Geography registration that will include private online journaling. If you’d like to receive e-mail notification when that service is available, please leave your e-mail address:
