Good for the soul, but if you don't have an amply padded posterior, hard on the bones.<br /><br />Standing - my preferred position, arms spread, palms upwards and looking heavenwards - great for all sorts of devotions, but beware standing under the cracks in the kitchen ceiling, which are quite a distraction - this is best done in the garden or conservatory and connects you closer to God than the other three methods.UKViewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18114944341930758335noreply@blogger.com
