The Uncommon Book of Prayer

Prayer is an ancient practice, carried through every culture and tradition, yet deeply personal in its expression. In The Uncommon Book of Prayer, author, psychosomatic therapist, and flower essence practitioner Heidi Smith MA, RH (AHG), a member of the Carrie Lindsey community, invites readers to rediscover prayer as an intimate, heart-centered act of healing and connection.

Through poetic guidance, historical insight, and luminous imagery inspired by illuminated manuscripts, Heidi reframes prayer as an active agreement between the soul and the Divine—whatever that means to you. This is not a manual of doctrine but an exploration of prayer as a living, creative practice that can bring joy, clarity, and transformation.

Readers are invited to:
• Refine and build a personal prayer practice
• Explore and release ambivalence around traditional notions of prayer
• Integrate prayer into daily healing and creative work
• Facilitate collective prayer circles within their communities
• Strengthen communication with the heart—the body’s seat of wisdom and resonance

A conscious prayer practice, as revealed through this book, opens a pathway to co-creation with the universe—awakening grace, healing, and hope in our lives and the world around us.
