Synopsis
A practical -how-to- guide for persons who want to learn how to meditate or practice yoga in a way that is consistent with their Christian faith., If you’re looking for clear links between Christian faith and the practice of yoga and meditation, this book is for you. Prayer of Heart and Body will help you integrate teachings from the Christian contemplative tradition into your practice and encourage a new appreciation for the role of the body in prayer. “Yoga,” says the author, is “meditation in motion, a way to pray with one’s whole being–body, mind and spirit. It was originally designed to prepare people for sitting meditation.” The two work powerfully together.Quoting extensively from such authors as Ignatius, John of the Cross, Rahner and Merton, Ryan explains what is distinctive about Christian meditation compared to some eastern forms, and looks at reincarnation and kundalini energy in the light of Christian faith, respecting the authenticity of other world religions and drawing from their wisdom traditions where appropriate. “Through this, Ryan integrates all that is beautiful, wise and holy in other traditions,” says Jean Vanier in his Foreword, for a book that is “unifying and pacifying.”The final section gives explicit instructions on beginning yoga. Using easy-to-follow diagrams, it covers breathing exercises, warm-up exercises, and the postures, including benefits, precautions and contraindications for each. In all, the basic aim of this beautifully written book is to assist the millions of Christians who today are practicing meditation or yoga or both, to consciously integrate them into their Christian spirituality as effective instruments for their personal development in prayer and daily living.+, If you’re looking for clear links between Christian faith and the practice of yoga and meditation, this book is for you.
