12/17/07 Ways to pray

Thank you God for giving us tools to find you!
- Have you ever asked yourself about the way you pray?
- Do you really feel, think or know that you are in contact with God?
- What is the knowledge you have about praying.  Do you know how to pray?  Would you like to know how to?

Well, there are thousands of ways to pray, each person could have their own, as every one of us have our own way of walking, talking or doing things.  I think though that there are some good recipies in which we can base our own ways of praying.
First of all we would have the most comon way of prayin which would be reciting some prayers like the "Our father", etc..  You can also pray with the rosary, or you can also pray talking to God in your mind, or reading the bible.
We will discover, together other less comon ways of prayer:
One of the most simple but the most profound ways of prayer is "the centering prayer" which we will help you to develop.  An other is "the Lectio Divina" and we will help you with it also.
Just to start though we will suggest your doing the following:
Wherever you are: stand up or sit down, get connected to the earth through your feet, be erect but not tense, relax. Look away and start thinking about your body, get in contact with it, feel the connection with the earth, relax your shoulders, relax your sight and look at any part of the nature.  Breath, look closely to your focus, think about its moovement, relate yourself to this movement, don't judge what you are seeing, don't even think about its beauty, only observe it.  Look at its smallest movements.  If you are looking at a tree for example, just observe how each leaf mooves.  Think about any soft music and you will see that it dances with its rhithm.  If you are looking at ants for example, do the same excercise, look close, do not question them, just look, observe and imagin a soft music.  You will see that they also dance at its rhithm.  Then relate yourself to them, or to the tree and the music you have in your mind and think about your own life.  Your past, your own ups and downs, compare it to the moovements of the music in your head.  You will discover that you have dance at its rhithm too.  It's God's music, you have been part of his creation all your life and now you are being conscious about it.  The key to spirituality is consciousness, to be aware to see him in anything.
finally thank God to make yourself part of this beauty.  Experience this continuous dance, be part of it!

 

PERFECT HARMONY - HUMILITY  
   
THE LEAF FALLS  
  The leaf falls
Rocked by the soft movement of the breeze
and the wind takes it away
goes up and down, dances.
I am that leaf, I belong to it
I dance in life
or I moove stealthly
in the twilight
and I exist, I perfectly live
in beautiful harmony.
 
STEPS IN GOD  
  One step after the other,
life dances like that
in perfect harmony,
under the stars infinite
by the hand of beauty itself we walk
being deaf of our eyes
