Meditating as a Christian

Meditating as a Christian

Introduction to Christian Meditation

Laurence Freeman OSB

These talks to priests and religious in Myanmar are addressed to Christians who wish to meditate, and do so in the context of their own Christian faith.  Fr. Laurence says that while meditation is a universal tradition, it is also deeply Christian.  The doctrine of the indwelling Holy Spirit is essential Christian theology and this experience of 'Christ in you' is essential to the Christian life.  The discipline of meditation as prayer of the heart reconnects us with the Spirit and helps us to transcend the ego.  We rediscover our true identity and begin to live as temples of the Holy Spirit. 

These Meditation Talks are designed specially to help group leaders in their work of sharing the teaching on Christian Meditation.
