My experience of this posture was positive. At first, this posture felt uncomfortable to stay in while praying, but as the time went on, I began to feel more comfortable and relaxed. It affected my prayer because my prayer was a prayer of thanksgiving and it allowed me to feel more connected to the purpose. I would try this again, but for the second time I will prostrate while praying a prayer of adoration. 

 

My experience with this posture was positive. At first, this prayer posture felt unusual as I do not normal stand with my hands folded, but as the prayer went on, I began to feel more at peace and comfortable in my position. I would not try posture again, as it allowed for me to feel at peace while praying. 

At the beginning, I felt very awkward when I was standing with my hand folded during my time of prayer of thanksgiving, but at the end I felt very comfortable and open.  I also saw that this posture helped me significantly, to not become distracted by the world around me during prayer. I would do this posture again and I next time I might try doing it with a prayer of intercession, so I can really focus on asking God to prayer for other people.

It felt a little uncomfortable at first but eventually it started to feel good cause it was like I was stretching my entire back and it was very calming and relaxing. 

It felt natural because it doesn’t have to be like walking around singing songs about Jesus. I could be brushing my horses and saying a prayer for people with injuries because of riding or saying a prayer to give thanks for the gifts of horses that I have. 

The prostrate posture felt weird and awkward at first and the feeling remained throughout. Didn’t really like the posture and I felt it hindered my prayer because I was more focused on the awkwardness than the prayer. I would not try this posture again. 

-it felt quite different at first
at the end it became comfortable
-surprisingly, it helped my prayer
-yes I would try it again because it is different 

When standing, having my arms extending, I felt very open at first. It helped me to pray as I was able to open up to God, while praying for adoration. I would try this posture again, because the posture was the best one that I tried. 

While standing and having my arms folded, the posture felt comfortable and relaxing throughout my time praying. I feel that this posture helped my prayer, being able to focus on prayer rather than the posture. I would try this prayer posture again, because I would want to fully immerse myself in prayer. 

 

Praying while standing with arms out.  This felt very weird and odd to do at the beginning, and you feel as if everyone will be looking at you and your arms get tired.  The benefit to this is that you will feel more open to God and it will make you pay attention more to what you are praying and what God is trying to say to you. 

The action posture felt decent at first and got better as it let me focus more on prayer and less on the action. It helped the prayer because the nervous energy that usually fills me when I pray is channeled into my movement, so I can devote my complete attention to prayer. I would try it again because it is my preferred posture and I would do it with the purpose of intercession. 

The posture standing with arms extended felt uncomfortable at first, but eventually I was able to focus on my prayer and forget about the position I was in. This position helped my prayer because I was able to really focus on my prayer more since I was doing it for the first time, I wanted my prayer to be more proper then sloppy. I would do it again because I feel that it is good way of trying new things. 

The sitting was the most comfortable because I was relaxed, this helped certainly with the prayer because I forgot I was praying because it was so comfortable. I would definitely try this position again. 

Sitting down while praying allowed me to relax and fully connect with God. I was able to be comfortable and fully commit the time to the prayer. In relation to standing, sitting down is far more comfortable and allows you to really focus on the prayer. During the prayer and by the end of the prayer, there was no difference or change in the posture. 

 

I chose to sit because I wanted to do something different as I only pray sitting down when I am in class or at mass, so I decided to try it out on my own. It felt better than kneeling in my opinion. I felt warmth and light and joy and I sat down with my arms open letting God come upon me. I would definitely use this again, though only when I do prayers of intercession or adoration, or when I need God’s heavenly touch. 

By doing the kneeling posture I felt a sense of greatness by God, and how I was able to bring myself on a lower level, to represent how Great God is, and it was truly a great experience and one that I would do again. I chose to use the prayer posture of kneeling because, I wanted to try and demonstrate my self being small in the presence of God and recognize my dependence on Gods grace. 

I chose this kind of posture because since its more of a God looks down on us kind of way, and I chose it to choose my apologies and thought of repentance for all my sins against God. It felt good to me because it felt like a weight had been lifted off my chest from doing this and the sin was like a weight that holding me down. I would do this again on my own time because although there is confession to confess sins, it is easy to talk to God about my sins. It is easy to talk to Him and ask for forgiveness.
