Christian meditation is an ancient form of contemplative prayer, deeply anchored in the teachings of the early Christian desert, fathers and mothers of the 4th and 5th centuries.

It echoes the spirit of the psalmist’s words: Be still and know that I am God

The present day global spread of meditation in the Christian tradition expresses a  universal human need for stillness and presence in a world ruled by a pace of change not previously experienced in human history.

We can meditate outside of any spiritual tradition, but, it will always lead us back home where we belong: the heart.
Fr Laurence Freeman
