| Caring | “God, [person’s name] is in need…” |
| Centering | As you feel God's presence, move into it more deeply. |
| Focusing | A
favorite name for God, i.e. "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus..."
A spiritual word that has significance for you, "Love, love, love..." A short prayer, "Please help!" "Thy will be done" "I'm available." |
| Moving | Embody your sacred communication. No words are necessary. |
| Opening | "I'm here. Help me to stay open to all You wish to communicate." |
| Praising | "Speak God's name or attributes with love and appreciation |
| Questioning | "What
is the next step?"
"What do I need?" "What is changing?" |
| Reading and Reflecting | Read or recall a biblical story. Ponder its meanings as you move. Take your scriptures with you. Stop anywhere to read and respond. |
| Releasing | "Help
me let go of..."
"I forgive..." |
| Searching | "God, I want to understand..." |
| Seeking | "Holy One, reveal Yourself to me." |
| Singing | Choose a favorite spiritual song. Sing it silently or out loud. |
| Transitioning | "Ever
since Sarah died..."
"Thank You, God, for the new opportunity..." |
