Introduction to Centering Prayer

Wednesdy, Aug. 17th, 2011

6:30-9pm Summit Hospital

$25

includes meditation cd and follow up session

 

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.

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.
