Centering Prayer

Recently Mike J. shared with us about his practice of centering prayer and led us through a brief experience of prayer. The four guidelines to centering prayer are:
- 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.
*thoughts include body sensations, feelings, images, and reflections.
We are blessed to have Mike in our midst!
