Christian
Meditation
The all important aim in Christian meditation
is to allow God's mysterious presence within us to
become more and more not only a reality, but the
reality which gives meaning, shape, and purpose to
everything we do, to everything we are... John Main
OSB
How to Meditate
Sit down. Sit still and upright. Close your eyes lightly. Sit relaxed but alert. Breathe calmly and regularly. Silently, interiorly begin to say a single word. We recommend the prayer-phrase MA-RA-NA-THA. Recite it as four syllables of equal length. Listen to it as you say it, gently but continuously. Do not think or imagine anything--spiritual or otherwise. If thoughts or images come, these are distractions at the time of meditation, so keep returning to simply saying the word. Meditate each morning and evening for between twenty and thirty minutes.
