SKI JUMP
|
 |
| |
|
A ski jump is in three parts
|
- IN-RUN – slide down the in-run slope and take off.
- FLIGHT – held in the draught of air as you glide in silent stillness
- LANDING – transition from being in the air to return to firm ground.
|
| Silent Prayer can be viewed in three parts too:- |
- ENTER - transition from the world with its muchness and many-ness into the unhurried stillness of the secret place.
- SECRET PLACE – held in the awesome silent stillness of the presence of the Lord.
- LEAVE – transition from being in the secret place into the world once more.
|
| Ratio 1:2:1 We have found splitting our allocated time into 4 parts works very well |
- 1 part for ENTER, during which gentle ambient music is played.
- 2 parts for SECRET PLACE, which is for ‘Silent Worship’ in silence.
- 1 part for LEAVE, during which gentle ambient music is played
|
The ambient music in ENTER and LEAVE helps transition from the hustle and bustle of the world.
|
The Secret Place is described in the section ‘Secret Place’ further on in the course.
|
| This course has been structured into these three sections:- |
- ENTERING SILENT WORSHIP
- SECRET PLACE OF WORSHIP
- LEAVING SILENT WORSHIP
