What is Body Prayer?

Question

Give examples and show me the website please...

Answer 1

Body Prayer is the nonverbal language we use when praying and can greatly affect our prayers. If you've seen orthodox Jews pray with a rocking motion, Muslims either rocking or swaying or prostrating themselves while reciting prayers, or Native or indigenous peoples dancing in scripted dances or open ecstatic movements. All of these are expressions of the ancient practice of body prayers.

Example:

Find a quiet place where you will not be interrupted. Relax and prepare yourself with simply breathing the previous love and peace breath prayer. Then when you are ready, gently place your hands together in a universal prayer position. Raise your arms up towards the sky with all your spoken and unspoken questions and feelings. Slowly open your arms to the Presence and linger in that position.
