CHRISTIAN MEDITATION


Meditation comes from one of two Hebrew words HAG-GAH and SEE-AAGH terms frequently translated "talk-speak-utter". Both convey the idea of musing and pondering.

Meditation is disciplined thought, forced on a single object or scripture for a period of time. It is reflecting upon or pondering specific truths slowly piece-by-piece . . . allowing our minds to dig deeply into a word, a phrase, an idea or principle from Gods own word. Meditation considers these things from every possible angle , with the purpose of getting insight, gaining practical benefit and/or reaching some conclusion.

Be aware, Christian meditation, centering prayer has the same essence.
