Why do Jews sway whilst praying? Why can’t we just stand still? Is there something more to the swaying (shokeling)?

Why do Jews sway whilst praying?

I will be exploring prayer in Judaism. I hope to use this podcast to help understand exactly what prayer really is. The main idea why I am doing this, is for myself. I want the idea of prayer to become more real and prevalent in my own life, and I find that if I talk about my thoughts and ideas, they automatically become more real and tangible to me, as I cannot talk about something I haven't thought about extensively. Hopefully this will also help others grow in prayer from these podcasts too.
