| The Simple Teaching of Christian Meditation How to Meditate? |
- Sit down. Sit still and upright. Close your eyes lightly. Sit relaxed but
alert. Breath calmly and regularly. Silently, interiorly begin to say a single
word.
We recommend the prayer-phase 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 and
images come, these are distractions at the time of meditation, so keep
returning to simply saying the word.
Meditate each morning and evening for thirty minutes.
