Download our prayers to say with the body and the mind
If you find it hard to focus when you pray – if your mind drifts off into lists of things to do, or the worries that follow you throughout the day and the night – then it may help to pray with your body as well as your mind. CMHI has developed a series of prayers for which you use your hands in various ways; this reminds us to give thanks for our bodies, and to see ourselves holistically, as beings of both flesh and spirit. The prayers are suitable for children and young people who are developing their prayer life and find it helpful to use physical actions as they pray. The prayers are:
- the labyrinth prayer
- the prayer of letting go
- square breathing prayer
- prayer for 5 people on 5 fingers in 5 minutes
