How do I choose to pray and what does my posture reflect?

SCRIPTURE: "Elijah climbed to the top of Mount Carmel, where he bowed down to the ground." 1 Kings 18:42
STORY: Origen was a third-century writer. One of his best known writings is his Treatise on Prayer.
Concerning the best posture for the body to take during prayer, he writes:
"The most preferable is extending the hands and raising the eyes. For then the body is showing the soul how it should behave in prayer."
Origen concludes, however, by saying that the best prayer posture is whatever helps us to pray better.
QUOTE: "Captain Ahab folded his large brown hands across his chest, uplifted closed eyes, and offered a prayer so deeply devout that he seemed kneeling and praying at the bottom of the sea." Herman Melville, Moby Dick
