Why should you bow your head and close your eyes to pray?

Humans used to bow and show other outward forms of reverence for kings and others who had power over them; it was fear from subjugation, not reverence. Thus, it is a tradition (habit of enculturation), as there in nothing in scripture that indicates such posturing is required, and indeed, one very important place (for New Covenant Christians) indicates nearly the opposite.
