Archetypal Prayer Postures
I do mind–body exercises upon waking each day, and I recommend these. -- The Rev. Ray Simpson
1. The Warrior … Start by stretching in a warrior-like crouch, arms stretched forward above the bent knee and say, 'I arise today in the strength of God the Warrior, the Creator, Initiator and Overcomer.' Let these words become your motivation.

2. The Shaper (Mystic /
Healer) ... Touch your eyes and say, 'I arise today in the flow of the Shaper.' Make
moving, supple body shapes that stretch, as a shaper, your seeing, sensing and
connectivity.
3. The Lover ... As you say, 'I arise in the name of the Lover, with all my senses', crouch down
and allow God's divine sensing to spread through each part of your being. Pray,
'God bless each thing my hands touch, each thing I think, each word I speak,
each soul I meet until I reach my home.'
4. The King ... As you say 'I arise in the centredness of the King', stand with feet astride and hands stretched out. Encompass all, stand firm before any looming troubles, allow the quiet authority of the King of kings to reside in his royal child.

June 2013 when he visited)
