Healing Prayer Circle

yogananda prayers

Place your absolute faith in the Deity of all deities, or the Spirit of all spirits.

Always undoubtingly believe His power is working in you, just behind your thoughts, prayers, and convictions, to give infinite strength to heal yourself and others.

—Paramhansa Yogananda

Ananda supports a worldwide Healing Prayer Circle composed of members who wish to pray for others as part of their spiritual practice. There are over 750 members serving in this way. Mary Kretzmann, Director of Ananda Healing Prayer Ministry, sends out regular newsletters, inspiring testimonials, and more, to keep the group inspired in this sacred service.

Every month we receive hundreds of prayer requests from people all over the world. These are divided up and sent via email to small, confidential groups within the Healing Prayer Circle. The individuals in these small groups focus on three healing prayer needs for one month or more. We have received many wonderful responses thanking us for these prayers.

Many people have shared with us how praying for others also brought blessings to themselves:

Participation in the Healing Prayer Council has been a source of great joy and inner spiritual rewards. I have also, in fact, received healing through the prayers that you have offered for me.

Join Healing Prayer Circle

We would like to invite your participation in Ananda’s Healing Prayer Circle. We will train you in the techniques for healing at a distance taught by Paramhansa Yogananda, and will offer ongoing support in your service. Please know that any sincere devotee can serve as a channel of healing to others. Your healing ability will increase with practice over time, as you humbly and lovingly ask the grace of God to flow through you to bless those in need.
