Introduction to Centering Prayer

Saturday, January 16, 2010

1-5pm $25 includes meditation cd

at Grace UMC Life Center

Resting in God is a phrase used to describe Centering Prayer which is an ancient Christian meditation method.

This simple prayer method invites us to let go of the busyness of our lives and to quiet our minds in order to rest a few minutes in silent communion with God. Centering Prayer facilitates the movement from more active modes of prayer - verbal, mental or affective prayer - into a receptive prayer of resting in God. It emphasizes prayer as a personal relationship with God. At the same time, it is a discipline to foster and serve this relationship by a regular, daily practice of prayer.

Christian Contemplative Prayer is the opening of mind and heart - our whole being - to God, the Ultimate Mystery, beyond thoughts, words and emotions, whom we know by faith is within us, closer than breathing, thinking, feeling and choosing; even closer than consciousness itself. The root of all prayer is interior silence. Though we think of prayer as thoughts or feelings expressed in words, this is only one expression. Contemplative Prayer is a prayer of silence, an experience of God's presence as the ground in which our being is rooted, the Source from whom our life emerges at every moment.

This workshop will include some restorative yoga poses, so dress warmly in layers and bring your mat, blankets, strap, eye pillow, and bolster if you have one! Some props are available at the studio, too.

Goals of This Introduction:
1. Learn method and principle of the meditation prayer as a way to deepen your relationship with God.
2. Experience 2 prayer sessions to practice the method.
3. Have the opportunity to ask questions about the method.
