The way we bring ourselves to prayer matters. In our hyper stimulated age, practising presentness as we begin our prayer times can be a helpful way of grounding us in our bodies, where God is homed, and help us experience him more freely.

The Beholding Prayer Podcast is an experiential accompaniment to Strahan's book 'Beholding: Deepening Our Experience in God' which explores prayer as seeing and being seen by God in our everyday ordinary lives. Beholding can be found wherever good books are sold.

Strahan Coleman is an author, musician and spiritual director. To find out more about his ministry, including his prayer books, visit www.commonerscommunion.com.
