That is a very interesting theory REPuckett but I agree with my fellow peers that that is not prayer at all. In fact, there is absolutely nothing scientific about prayer to claim otherwise, it's an insult to true science. I too think that what you are referring to is meditation and is better classified as positive affirmation to onself of ones goals and aspirations.
There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
