Ale J: Centering Prayer

Centering Prayer is a way or praying that prepares us to receive God's presence within us in a prayer called Contemplative Prayer. This method of prayer is both a relationship with God and a discipline to foster that relationship. Centering prayer adds depth of meaning to all prayer. This way of praying emphasizes prayer as a more personal relationship with God. To preform Cetering Prayer you sit comfortably with your eyes closed and relax. then you choose a sacred word that best supports your intention to be in God's precense. you let that word be present as a symbol of your sincere interests to have God in you. when you turn to be aware of anything other than prayer you go back to your sacred word.
