IgnatiusofLoyola Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 [quote name='faithcecelia' timestamp='1318449291' post='2320273'] I've been sitting on it all afternoon - while sewing, watching tv etc - and it is so comfortable, definately so much better for me than the usual shape and almost as good as my old palissee. Some don't agree, but I find comfort at prayer a very valuable think, so much easier to pray when youre not in pain!

[/quote] There is a theorectical possibility, but the priority in posture in prayer is comfort. Some have padded stools, ther sit rather thak kneel and others pray horizontally!

It sounds like others already do not use the traditional Carmelite stool, so if you use it you won't be doing anything unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
