End of the day Wellbeing Prayer and changes planned for the Moot Community Podcast

For this Moot podcast we again want to share some of our online prayer resources. Last year we shared the Morning Wellbeing Prayer for use at the beginning of the day, this time it is the wellbeing prayer at the end of the day. This way of praying is particularly good if you have problems with stress, anxiety or depression. Also to give you the heads up, we will be shortly moving the feed for these podcasts from our podbean site, to the moot.uk.net site. If you have any problems you may need to resubscribe to the mootuk podcast through itunes or another podcast index. We hope to continue to offer this podcast for free for the years to come. If you experience any form of technical difficulty, or would like to support moot with a financial donation, please email info@moot.uk.net. Thanks for subscribing to the Moot Community Podcasts.

Using an integrative body prayer by Ian Mobsby

In this podcast recording Ian Mobsby opens up the use of a body prayer as a form of encounter with God and the integration of the self around our adult, adolescent and child that we all have within us.  This prayer practice is very ancient yet we really do not use our bodies actively in prayer, and so miss out on God's blessings. Please see the image of the four different prayer postures to support you in this practice.

Misunderstanding Competition in the New Testament of the bible by Ian Mobsby

In this podcast Ian Mobsby explores texts in the Gospels and letters of St Paul in the Christian Bible to explore the theme of competition in the New Testament.  These texts can sound hard and jarring, but often this is because we have had very unhelpful interpretations of these tects.   In this session Ian explores an approach that understands this competition as an inner issue of the self rather than competing and winning against others.
