| As a child you were perhaps taught, while at [[prayer]], to hold your hands in a prayerful fashion ([[demonstrates]]). And if you were to become comfortable with that [[gesture]], and used it to protect yourself when you felt you were being [[attacked]] by the |vagaries of life, by someone invading your [[boundaries]], by someone assaulting your [[integrity]], you could anchor yourself by this gesture. And it would also have an [[effect]] on the beholder (were they present), for it is disarming to acknowledge [[God]] in [[prayer]] in your daily life in unorthodox circumstances. | | As a child you were perhaps taught, while at [[prayer]], to hold your hands in a prayerful fashion ([[demonstrates]]).

− | As you [[practice]] this [[gesture]], as you begin to appreciate your ability to walk through [[life]] in instant readiness of [[stillness]] and [[connection]] with [[Higher Power]], you [[prepare]] yourself to walk more [[graciously]] through life. It may appear affected, but you will notice that many of the great [[religious]] teachers and [[leaders]] from the East (and from the West) make use of that [[gesture]], and you might [[wonder]] why. You may [[perceive]] it as a method of pontificating, but it is also a gesture of [[aligning]] yourself with a [[Higher Power.]] It is not an overt announcement that you are [[begging]] their [[forgiveness]] or indulgence, or that you are calling upon a [[personality]]. It is a non-sectarian gesture. | + | As you [[practice]] this [[gesture]], as you begin to appreciate your ability to walk through [[life]] in instant readiness of [[stillness]] and [[connection]] with [[Higher Power]], you [[prepare]] yourself to walk more [[graciously]] through life.

And as you hold yourself in readiness of [[contact]] with [[divinity]], you are more likely to speak for divinity or as divinity would have you speak, and this rises up over the [[instinctual]] animal [[response]] or [[emotional]] [[reaction]]. | | Of course, that may appear to lose [[impetus]] if you are speaking with someone on the telephone; they cannot see you.
