"Meditation is not a time for words,
however beautifully and sincerely phrased.

All our words are wholly ineffective when
we come to enter into this deep and
mysterious communion with God".

JOHN MAIN,
founder of the
Christian Meditation Community

HOW TO MEDITATE

  • Find a quiet place
  • Sit upright and relaxed
  • Gently close your eyes
  • Silently and to yourself begin to say a word or short phrase (mantra). The word Maranatha which means Come, Lord, is recommended
  • Listen to the sound as you say it, gently and continuously.
  • Do not think or imagine anything spiritual or otherwise
  • If thoughts or images come, keep returning to simply saying the mantra
  • Meditate for 20 minutes to begin with once a day and try to increase this to two times a day and try to increase your time.
