But as we grow spiritually, it becomes clear that traditional or rote prayers are not sufficient to express the deepest longings and feelings of our connection with the Divine. Whatever your faith tradition, this unique and inspiring book helps you connect by giving you the tools you need to speak directly to God in prayer, without relying on traditional written prayers or formulas. Accessible and from a multifaith perspective, it distinguishes among prayer, contemplation, and meditation, and then encourages you to engage in various forms of prayer involving the spirit and the physical body. It draws on prayer practices from many different traditions and offers concrete suggestions and exercises for how to incorporate those practices into your own tradition on a regular basis. |
