Please, did you say this was ORIGINALLY AIRED in July, 2012 according to the caption ? I thought it was taped earlier than that. I stand to be corrected.

You sure can heal your life by prayer, meditation and fasting

[@dbsk06]

10:10 open ended prayers - best thing to happen 18:00 those not desperate for a healing are the ones most likely to heal. Surrender 40:05 being in a constant state of prayer

[@crystaltharrell]

I am a behavioral scientist studying the connection between psychological health and spiritually at Yale School of Public Health. And I honestly cannot believe how relevant this conversation is today. I don’t believe that you have to have a certain religious belief to benefit from the power of prayer and its amazing to see science show what has always been ❤

[@collabomanagementinc5543]

Ephesians 4:10-14 confirms what you’re saying. We all need to come into the unity of the faith. We were all created for a divine purpose and need each other to yield the same results. It’s all for the work of the ministry, perfecting of the saints and edifying of the body of Christ. That body has no religious connotations.

[@saraoconnor6169]

Now I hope that science will work to prove life after death is as real as you and I.

[@dianeroseministries3998]

Oprah-I so miss the variety of topics you presented even then. As my Spiritual BigSis, we are always tune with each other. It’s time we met. Especially on this Spiritual Journey never a coincidence! Prayer is my November Focus! Join me!

No dull moments when the one and only Oprah is starting to talk! I always love her! Fan of her from The Philippines

[@Afia6098]

In Islam we do a lot of prayers. In many hospitals in Pakistan now they recite surah rahman for patients and they have seen alot of changes in patients. One should always pray, if it is good for me and for my family than it should happen. At this moment the society needs both science, prayer and spirituality. On our dollar , it says on God we trust. Our community is in need of healing at this time. After all these mental health problems, and mass shootings, don’t you think we need prayer.

[@Bannerkim1]

Oprah, I appreciate being able to view a prayer perspective in prayer. Interesting comments by your audience and guest speaker in regards to healing and the medical community.

[@RayRom1797]

To answer that young lady that asked to prove how it works...it goes back to faith. The Bible says "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" . We can't see it. We just have to Believe.

The power of prayer is based off your belief system! What you believe in is your truth! Your ritual and prayer to your GOD/ UNIVERSE is for you and mine is for ME. both are right and works!

Love how Oprah did not entertain any BS! She just said “ They don’t believe and thats okay “ 👑👑

[@cc1k435]

She just knew from experience that not everyone is ready for that yet. But they were mostly trying to listen, which is a part of the process. It puts the concept of reincarnation into play, I think, because we are all evolving at different rates and times. ❤

[@AnayTheAesthetician]

Love your perspective of the situation ! & Happy Thanksgiving if you’re in the western world🦃🧡

[@SelenaHill]

I've seen God work miracles in my life and in the lives of those I've prayed for. Hence, I have no doubt about the power in prayer, and I'm glad science has finally gotten caught up.

When the happy,your'e money propit is the good health

[@ColibriDuNord]

道 Coming from a very religious family, I have proudly denounced my religion since realizing it has brought more harm than good. E.g., in reality nobody chooses who they’re attracted to, unlike most religions preach. Also noticed that no matter how subtle, religion usually teaches you to be righteous. That what you’re taught to believe in is obviously “right” - therefore any other contradicting beliefs/opinions have to be “wrong” by default. This can only create separation… or worse. Have always believed and rooted for the opposite; inclusivity, desegregation, togetherness. Therefore organized religion seems to be an exclusive divider-in disguise of a unifier. How many wars/conflicts has religion solved thus far? And how much war/conflict/harm has it caused or derived from it? But like this episode suggests we do strongly believe in the power of prayer, and of course believe in something greater than myself that has created all of this. Also love applying the teachings of Buddhism since there isn’t one we’ve read so far that we don’t agree with. Especially love that it doesn’t even need to be considered a religion since it’s a non-theistic faith, so we follow Buddhism as a philosophy/moral code/etc. Other than Oprah being my religion since I’m a kid, I believe in the healing power of prayer (a form of meditation) and the common sense teachings of Buddhism. Remembering your spirit always leaves you feeling better too❣️ Hoping (and praying!) to keep awakening to enlightenment. 𓂀 “Religion can only create division/segregation. Division/segregation can only create hate. Hate can only create harm & death. Dare to think for yourself. Being led by empathy, compassion & kindness are rewarding self-religions.” 🙏☮️

[@lizardfirefighter110]

Well said! Generally my conclusion. Religion is just a human construct around the divine. The divine is all of creation. All the stars, all the space and all the creatures, and diverse life forms existing in harmony. “The essence of life is the harmonization of diversity.” Stars come and go, but the spirit of everything is eternal.
