At the first session, Steve led fifteen of us through an hour of tastes of types of centering prayer. Main techniques: breathing, prayer beads, repeated words, singing. Steve did a great job of explaining, and of helping us know what to expect. I appreciated his encouragement to find my own style and to not feel constrained to do things the "right" way. My favorite technique tonight: praying through the words "watch" and "wait." Another treat: Steve's Advent-focused words to Silent Night.
