About The Glad Helpers

We are a prayer-healing group. We pray for our prayer-list daily. We meet twice a month to pray for the people on the list and to perform laying-on-of-hands healing. When we meet, we also read and discuss Cayce's readings to the original Glad Helper group from the 1930's

Healing Together

How are the Glad Helpers different from other groups?

We are based on healing information from the Cayce readings. As a result, our focus is Spiritual Healing. In the readings, there are many references to "spirit is the life, mind is the builder, physical is the result." If we only focus on physical healing, we will miss healing the mind and the spirit - which is two-thirds of our being. Spiritual Healing begins with the mind and spirit, and then heals the whole person (mind, body, and spirit).

Prayer Request Form

What is Direct, Surround, and Passed On Prayer?

Direct prayer is for those who are willing to attune themselves daily through meditation and/or prayer. They also agree to pray daily for themselves, the Glad Helpers and others.

According to the Cayce teachings, what you give out is what you get back. You attune yourself, then pray for yourself the Glad Helpers and others. The Glad Helpers attune through meditation and then pray for you, themselves and others. Everyone praying gives and receives healing. A typical visualization of this prayer is to picture God's light and love entering and filling the body of the person you are praying for.

The Glad Helpers feel it is important to honor a person's free will by not praying for what you think they need but for what is best for them: i.e. their highest good. We similarly feel we should honor God's will by not praying for a particular result. We pray that God will give the person whatever is most needed. A typical visualization of these prayers is using God's light.

Through years of experience, the Virginia Beach Glad Helpers have made the observation that direct prayer is not best for addicts and Alzheimer patients. For these two groups, we recommend surround prayer.

Surround prayer for is for people placed on the list by another or for people who are unable to attune and pray daily. A typical visualization is picturing the person for whom you are praying being surrounded by God's love and light. It is like praying a bubble of golden light around your loved one to be used as needed.

Passed-on prayer is for those who have died. It helps the deceased in the afterworld. According to the Cayce teachings, we are uniquely able to help those who have passed-on by praying for them here on earth.
