What if prayer doesn’t just change your soul… but also your mind and body?





In this video, we explore Prayer in the Orthodox Christian Life through the Bible and the Church's living tradition. Orthodox prayer involves the whole person—body, mind, and heart—just as Scripture teaches: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind”(Matthew 22:37), and “Glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s” (1 Corinthians 6:20).





You’ll learn:


• Why Orthodox Christians bow and make prostrations


• How prayer can bring peace, focus, and inner calm


• How slow, reverent movement in prayer can reduce stress and tension


• How posture, breathing, and rhythm in prayer can support the body


• How prayer shapes humility, discipline, repentance, and spiritual focus


• What the Bible says about peace, endurance, gratitude, and hope


• Why Orthodox prayer is not just words, but worship with the whole person





We also talk honestly about what prayer is and is not:


Prayer is not a medical treatment or a magic formula. It is a slow, steady training of the heart, where God works in us over time—bringing peace, strength, clarity, and deeper love.





This video is for:


• Orthodox Christians who want to understand why we pray with our bodies


• Christians curious about ancient Christian prayer practices


• Anyone asking: Does prayer really change how we live, think, and feel?

Does prayer change only your soul—or your mind and body too?



In this video, we explore Orthodox Christian prayer through the Bible and Church tradition. You’ll learn why Orthodox Christians bow and make prostrations, how prayer involves the whole person, and how it can bring peace, focus, humility, and inner strength. We’ll also discuss how posture, breathing, and movement during prayer can help reduce stress and support a calm, attentive mind.





Prayer isn’t magic—and it’s not medicine—but it does slowly transform how we live, think, and love.
