Prone Yoga Poses are poses done lying on our belly. They
allow us to literally "lay it all down." Surrender our will and simply throw in our towel. It is a time to rest in His presence and hear His voice. Let the silence bring you to His voice.
Cobra Pose (Bhujangasana)
Psalms
139 is an amazing chapter that you can meditate on in any posture
but specifically appropriate for lying down in His presence.
Psalms 139
O
Lord, You have searched me and known me.
You
know when I sit down and when I rise up;
You understand my thought
from afar. You scrutinize my path and my lying down,
And are
intimately acquainted with all my ways.
Even
before there is a word on my tongue,
Behold, O Lord, You know it
all. You have enclosed me behind and before,
And laid Your hand
upon me. Such
knowledge
is too wonderful for me; It is too
high,
I cannot attain to it.
Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where
can I flee from Your presence?
If I ascend to heaven, You are
there; If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there.
If I take
the wings of the dawn, If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,
Even there Your hand will lead me,
And Your right hand will lay
hold of me. If I say, “Surely the darkness will overwhelm me,
And
the light around me will be night,” Even the darkness is not dark
to You, And the night is as bright as the day. Darkness and light are
alike to
You.
For
You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother’s womb.
I
will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully
made;
Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well.
My
frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret,
And
skillfully
wrought in the depths of the earth;
Your
eyes have seen my unformed substance;
And in Your book were all
written
The days that were ordained for
me,
When
as yet there was not one of them.
How precious also are Your
thoughts to me, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
If I should
count them, they would outnumber the sand.
When I awake, I am
still with You.
Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me and
know my anxious thoughts;
And see if there be any hurtful way in
me,
And lead me in the everlasting way.
