De stressing Learn to pray

Sit or kneel comfortably upright. Adopt your regular prayer position with your hands. Close your eyes and focus on your breath. On an out-breath repeat a prayer or holy word/s that have meaning for you. Repeat the invocation with every out-breath; let it melt away awareness of the body. As you utter the holy words, bring them into your heart, giving up any thoughts or emotions you are holding on to. Let the holy word ignite the spark of divine within.
