A Blessed Movements Prayer Session

Some tips to deepen your Blessed Movements Prayer Session (BMPS):• Wear loose, comfortable clothing. No jewelry or accessories to distract your attention.

• Have a near empty stomach.

• Find a quiet space without phone or TV.

• Set up an altar or shrine that reminds you of the Divine Presence.

• Loosen up your shoulders, back, and hips with gentle movements and stretches.

• You may stand, or kneel (as shown by Hilary), or use a chair (as shown by Jeanie).

• Do not analyze the poses. There is no right or wrong. Let the Spirit move you.

• Between slides, allow some time to listen to the ‘small voice within.’

• Feel and sense the Spirit praying in your body, heart and soul.

• Finally, let go and let God. That is, fully consent to God’s presence and action within.
