Lectio visceralis  is form of prayer/reflection in which participants gently create sculptures with their own bodies, and then reflect on these sculptures to discern spiritual insight. While  lectio visceralis  originated during the COVID lockdown, its roots lie in Christian incarnationalism, and in the liberationist practice of Theatre of the Oppressed. This article describes an online  lectio visceralis  experience, ‘This Is My Body: An Interfaith Ritual of Embodied Reflection.’ (This was the public worship component at the 2022 annual conference of BIAPT, the British and Irish Association for Practical Theology.) The article explores the roots of  lectio visceralis  in Theatre of the Oppressed, which combines critical pedagogy, Brechtian theatre, and Stanislavskian emotional inquiry. It lays out the neuroscientific evidence for considering both prayer and reflection as thoroughly embodied. And it argues for the Christian bona fides of  lectio visceralis , in light of a theology of ‘integral liberation’.
