Body Prayer

---

"Adding conscious devotional gestures to your prayer life can deepen your spiritual connection and experience."

Body prayer is a way of enhancing one’s prayer practice by adding meaningful gestures to devotional thoughts and feelings. It is applicable to all  spiritual paths and religious orientations. In this five part downloadable DVD, Cynthia Hutchison, a respected teacher in the field of energy medicine, sacred geometry, and Healing Touch, brings her understanding of Body Prayer through three forms of teaching methods.

The Origins of Body Prayer

Rudolph Steiner, founder of Waldorf Education and Anthroposophy, introduced eurythmy (meaning beautiful movement) in 1912. There are artistic, therapeutic, pedagogical and devotional forms of  this practice. Eurythmy is a way to integrate our soul forces of  thinking, feeling and willing to create inner alignment with Truth,  Beauty and Goodness, and our birth intention of LOVE. These wisdom filled  sacred body gestures strengthen the etheric, or life body, of the human  being.

I was introduced to Eurythmy, as a form of spiritual body movement, in 1992,  while my children were attending Waldorf Schools. Over the years, body  prayer has become a part of my daily spiritual practice. It has had  significant effects on my physical vitality and spiritual alignment.  When I started sharing my enthusiasm with various groups at conferences, I started using the term BODY PRAYER, as  it was more understandable and generic.

For me, practicing body prayer deepens my connection to God. How? Because I am not just engaging my thoughts, heart and intentions, but I  am also engaging my will forces, using my physical body through  movement and gestures which symbolize my thoughts, feelings and  intentions. In this way, we can support healing of the body, mind and soul.
