Prayer as Posture

Gideon Tsang reflects on how prayer might realign the posture of our soul and being [Luke 18:1-8].

 

Reflection

• How might prayer help keep your heart open to God, ourselves and others?
• How does the way you feel about yourself reflect on the way you feel about God?

 

Spiritual Practice

• Centering Prayer.  Choose a sacred word as the symbol of your intention to consent to God’s presence and action within.  Sitting comfortably and with eyes closed, settle briefly and silently introduce the sacred word as the symbol of your consent to God’s presence and action within.  When engaged with your thoughts, return ever-so-gently to the sacred word. At the end of the prayer period, remain in silence with eyes closed for a couple of minutes.
