BMPS is Blessed Movements Prayer Session created by Blessed Movements founder Roy DeLeon, Oblate SB. It is praying that includes the whole being instead of just reciting a prayer by memory. Praying here is defined as being with God. Check out his website, nowpraying.com for more resources for praying creatively and expressively anywhere any time.

2. Some tips to deepen your Blessed Movements Prayer Session (BMPS):
• Wear loose, comfortable clothing. No jewelry or accessories to distract your attention.
• Have a near empty stomach.
• Find a quiet space without phone or TV.
• Set up an altar or shrine that reminds you of the Divine Presence.
• Loosen up your shoulders, back, and hips with gentle movements and stretches.
• You may stand, or kneel (as shown by Hilary), or use a chair (as shown by Jeanie).
• Do not analyze the poses. There is no right or wrong. Let the Spirit move you.
• Between slides, allow some time to listen to the ‘small voice within.’
• Feel and sense the Spirit praying in your body, heart and soul.
• Finally, let go and let God. That is, fully consent to God’s presence and action within.

25. C L O S I N G:
From the heart, release a stream
of healing and happy thoughts
to family and soul friends,
to those who are easy to love,
to those not so easy to love,
and to all beings on the planet.
That in all things, we glorify God
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
