Christian Meditation: A Work of the Heart
When I added
meditation to my day, my life greatly changed.
The biggest change is that life makes more sense and is much more
exciting. I feel more balanced, more
able to welcome challenges and much more able to deal with day to day stress. I consider myself lucky to have
been encouraged to begin my meditation practice and to have teachers to guide me in this amazing journey to my heart.
Most western Christians feel
that meditation is not part of our tradition and conclude that it is something that does not fit. This
is a misconception. Apart from the highly rational
Greco-Roman world we spring from, meditation is alive and well in the contemplative tradition. Though most Christians have never been taught it,
meditation is a rich and vital part of our heritage.
As a
Christian who has received tremendous benefit from my daily practice of meditation,
I have decided to offer instruction, and support, in the basics of Christian
Meditation. I will be
teaching core techniques systematically and comfortably in one on one
instruction that will provide you with a solid foundation for a rich meditative practice.
In each one
hour session you will learn entry points, how to sink-in and how to follow
your path. We will be using sacred
readings, chants, bells, oils and sacred images. You will learn the importance of creating a sacred
space, timing and how to best utilize the time after your meditation as a key structure
in your daily life.
I look forward to you joining us.
