Spirituality as Imitation

a body reacts to the Lord's Prayer

Occasionally when I pray the Lord's Prayer, I notice a simultaneous pattern of physical sensations occurring.  Always a single sensation, not always the same pattern.  My attention moves from one body part to another as I move from one line of the prayer to the other.  I don't attach any significance to this phenomena.  I find it inspiring to be engaged by the prayer on a physical level; that is significant enough.

a form of the Lord's Prayer

Last night, I tried syncing my breath and the Lord's Prayer while staying mindful of the lines of the prayer that are in the imperative command mode.  I didn't find it as difficult as it sounds.  Maybe I've just practiced praying the imperative sections enough times now that I can be attune to both my breath and my attitude.  I found praying the Lord's Prayer this way both restful as well as inspiring.
