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..."
