Moving Prayer: Steps 1-12 For Christ Centered Devotion

Experience the powerful intersection of intentional physical movement, and sacred scripture. Moving Prayer is for any believer seeking greater harmony between soul, mind, and body as a temple of the Holy Spirit, as well as anyone seeking a structured, somatic path to inner peace, clarity, and presence. Lesson Three brings together all 12 steps of this sacred movement sequence. Practice the complete sequence repeatedly, first leading with the right and then with the left, allowing the transitions to become familiar and the movement to flow with greater ease. As the movement becomes more familiar, Scripture is brought into the practice, creating space to listen for the guidance of the Holy Spirit while remaining connected to the movement. Please complete Lessons One and Two before beginning, and wear comfortable clothing and secure footwear. Follow my profile for future lessons and live workshops.

We'll practice it four times. Moving to the right, So we're going to be leading with our right. As you face the screen, Simply mirror what you see. As we begin to move through the sequence. You'll start to pivot away from the screen. Just listen for my verbal cues. To tell you which direction you're moving in. By the time the sequence is done, All four times to the right. You will have traced a complete square. Be sure you've got plenty of room around you. That you're wearing comfortable clothing and secure footwear. And if you're ready. Let's begin lesson three. Step forward, Right. Step out right. The event. Right. Step forward, Right. Step out right. Pivot. Right. Step forward right. Step out, Right. The event. Right. Step forward, Right. Step out right Pivot. Right. Now find a comfortable seated position. Let your mind and your body absorb the practice. Let your mind be drawn to those moments that you were unsure of. And mentally rehearse those transitions. Now let's practice again, This time leading with the left. I will again cue you transitions. So as you pivot away from the screen, Listen for my voice. Allow my verbal cues to guide you. While remaining focused on the physical movement. Step forward, Left. Step out, Left. Pivot. Left. Step forward, Left. Step out, Left. Pivot. Left. Step forward, Left. Step out, Left. Pivot. Left. Step forward, Left. Step out, Left. Pivot. Left. Again, Find a comfortable seated position and let your mind and your body settle. For this final practice, Recall the words of St. Paul's letter to the Corinthians. For now. We see through a glass darkly. But then. Face to face. Now I know in part. But then shall I know? Even as also. I am known. There might be a word or phrase that stands out. Hold your attention there as you move. Listening for the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Finally. Find a comfortable seated position, Allowing your mind and your body to settle. Return to these first three lessons as often as possible. The more familiar you become with these transitions, The easier it will be to listen for the Holy Spirit's guidance as you move. In Lesson 4, I'll introduce an intention. We'll practice the 12-step sequence flowing from right and left. And close with a time of reflection. I look forward to seeing you for Lesson 4.
