Maybe but there's no evidence to suggest such a thing. So to believe in it would just be wishful thinking, just like all the people who believe in heaven or praying. I think a person should formulate their believes based on evidence.
Everything we know suggests that consciousness is produced by electrical activity between the billions of neurons in your brain, and their connection to each other and the other parts of your nervous system throughout your body.
It's kind of a trendy thing these days, followed by lots of celebrities and such, to move past Christianity to Bhuddism as if it's any less baseless a belief system.
You as your consciousness and you as your physical body are one and the same. When you die the you that exists right now is gone for all eternity. Maybe the matter that makes up your body right now will find it's way into a new baby that's born sometime in the future, or a squirrel or a bird, but that won't be you.
Prayer has been scientifically proven to have an effect on the physical, observable reality. For instance, praying above water re aligns it's molecules in a nice, neat, orderly pattern when usually it's random and messy - This can be seen when looking at ice crystals under a microscope.
