I've been praying a little bit recently, and it's causing some weird psychological effects.

Those weird psychological effects are called ‘praying’.

Isn't praying itself a physical thing though? I'm not just saying the prayers in my head.

What kinds of effects? Alot of fascinating stuff written about how prayer and ritual can produce anomalous experiences or induce an acute sense of the numinous.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

It's hard to describe, it's like my consciousness is now more......open? Colorful? Expanded? Something like that.

I knew you might think that, but no, I mean a literal chocolate danish. Or do you prefer raspberry?

Raspberry is not my favorite. Chocolate would be great, also a fan of maple.
