???There are beautiful and wild forces within us.??? With these words, the mystic St. Francis described what ancient traditions believed was the most powerful force in the universe???the power of prayer.

For more than 20 years, Gregg Braden has searched for evidence of a forgotten form of prayer that was lost to the West following the biblical edits of the early Christian Church. In the 1990s, he found and documented this form of prayer still being used in the remote monasteries of central Tibet. He also found it practiced in sacred rites throughout the high deserts of the American Southwest.
