This book challenges the historic separation of mind and body in European thought, reimagining prayer as an embodied practice inspired by the spirituality of St. Francis and St. Clare of Assisi. Through the lens of the Alexander technique, it reintegrates the physical into prayer, emphasizing its sacred nature. While rooted in Christianity, it welcomes all backgrounds, offering practical exercises to incorporate movement into prayer. Authored by a professional Alexander technique teacher and ordained minister, it draws from diverse body/mind disciplines. Each chapter ends with practices promoting peace, physical ease, spiritual depth, and a tranquil lifestyle.
