Description
Praying with the Body brings a new dimension to prayer, inviting you to express the Psalms with motion. This innovative book helps deepen and broaden your relationship with God, allowing you to better understand God as "Holy One".
Through a combination of scripture texts, explanations, and black and white drawings showing postures and expressions of the body, you'll find both prayer tools and companionship. This approach proposes a way of prayer that can influence both your interior and daily life, addressing hunger and longing for true happiness, freedom from fear, and deep peace.
With its meditations and reflections, Praying with the Body connects you to your deepest needs to be with the Beloved. The four basic ways of praying -oral, mental, affective, and contemplative- are all contained within its pages.
