Christian Meditation

MeditationBe still and know I am God Psalm 46:10

Meditation, in the Christian tradition, is often called the prayer of the heart. 

John Main OSB (1926-1982) believed that the contemplative experience creates community.  His genius was to recover and to re-present a way into this experience for ordinary people from within the Christian contemplative tradition.  In the teachng of the desert monks on pure prayer he found the practice of the mantra.  He realised that this way of prayer could further the search of many modern people for a deeper spiritual life.

"The way of meditation is very simple .... it gives us the space that our spirit needs to breathe.  It gives each one of us the space to be ourselves .... all you need to do is accept from the hands of God the gift of your own being ..... " John Main OSB
