There is nothing wrong with praying for others, it's complete nonsens that one would have to ask for permission first to pray for someone, what is your intent on praying for others is what the question should be.
What is your INTENT on praying for others?
Praying is just that, it's praying. it's nothing more and nothing less.
Have you ever wondered why the C's never pray for us? I do not think it is nonsense to ask for a permission and again I am reminded of how many times the C's have withhold answering as they would not interfere with our free will. We have to learn the lessons ourselves in the school of life.
As for the negative effects, then I am sorry not to be able to give the exact reference, but in the wave series Laura talks about this thing of sending love and light that is common in the new age movement with the clause of "for our highest will and good". My memory of this part in the wave was that the 4D STS took that as our permission for them to interfere and violate our free will. I paid attention as I used to be very much in the new age scene and send healing etc. Interestingly I also, like Oxajil thought that I was being very open and not putting any restrictions etc. but by and by I came to realise how little I knew about what was right for other people and their lessons and life paths. As a result I did less and less of sending healing to others, until it came to the point of sending or giving only when people asked me to. Again I am reminded of one of the transcripts where the C's answers one of Laura's questions about someone, by posing the question: "Have you ever heard of karma"? or something to that effect. In other words not to interfere with someone else's lessons unless they ask. By letting them ask or give permission, they are empowered. It comes from them. They reflect on it and say yes or no, and there in their very asking is the very seed of change.
Just a thought...
