We record every Monday at 1pm and livestream the session. Join the "live studio audience" on Facebook or YouTube for a peek behind the scenes.
A Practical Prayer is a prayer that WORKS! These discussions between Rev. Bill Marchiony and Carol Lawrence dive into the details of how it works, and how to work it.
Rev. Bill is a New Thought minister, and the Author of Practical Prayer for Real Results. Carol Lawrence is on a spiritual quest, finding the New Thought teaching after decades on the pulpit in three different traditional denominations. Together, they're exploring the philosophy and activities that come together from many of the world's religions to create the Practical Spirituality that is New Thought.
Spiritual Counseling & Practical Prayer sessions with Rev. Bill
Our beliefs create our experience of life. When we are dissatisfied with any aspect of life - be it...
- health and vitality
- prosperity and enough-ness
- love and connection
- the way we share our gifts with the world
- or something else...
there is very likely a belief at work that is hidden below our conscious awareness.
Rev. Bill works with you one-on-one to discover those hidden beliefs and replace them with ones that will tend to bring more of the Good you seek into your life.
Each session includes a personal Practical Prayer to activate the Truth of who you are as individualized expressions of Spirit. Through practice of this scientific form of prayer, we enter an energetic vibration that anchors our awareness in our essential perfection and oneness with the I Am Presence of the Self, and invite a new experience of Life.
Three, six, and twelve-session packages include free follow-up via email or text between sessions. Unused sessions expire after 18 months.
All session will be scheduled at a mutually agreeable time, via Zoom, phone or in-person.
