Spirit in Action: Moving Meditations for Peace, Insight, and Personal Power Book

"When we let go and allow the Spirit to move us in prayer, the body will follow. This is surrender to the voice of the soul at its deepest levels." [pg. 46, 47]Movement is spirit in action. Embodied prayer--prayer that combines a meditative mind-set with physical motions--is practiced in spiritual traditions from all over the world: from praying with clasped hands and bowed head, to prostrations and kneeling, to davening, whirling, sitting in meditation, and stretching in yoga. The body has always been involved in expressions of worship, gratitude, celebration, and blessing.With photographs illustrating easy-to-follow, step-by-step movements, Spirit in Action introduces an exciting new kind of mind-body practice--moving meditations that give added physical power to our prayers for guidance, healing, and insight. Seekers of all religious backgrounds and traditions will enjoy and benefit from these energy-enhancing rituals. The author, a chiropractor and workshop teacher of embodied prayers, draws upon ancient, universal principles of sacred dance to create exercises that promote self-awareness, connect us to that which we consider divine, and cultivate compassion and a heightened consciousness that carries into daily activities.
