Guidelines (for facilitators)
Centering Prayer is a method designed to facilitate the development of contemplative prayer by preparing our faculties to receive this gift. It is both a relationship and a discipline to foster that relationship.
Guidelines
-
Choose a sacred word as the symbol of your intention to consent to God’s present and action within.
-
Sitting comfortably, with back straight and eyes closed, settle briefly, and silently introduce the sacred word to affirm your intention.
-
When you become aware you are engaged with thoughts, return very gently to the sacred word.
Remember the ‘Four Rs’
