Hi there!
I’m putting this in Non-Catholic Religions but of course I’d like the Catholic perspective on why we choose Centering Prayer over the other forms of contemplation or meditation that are offered by the more… Eastern religions.
I have been practicing Centering Prayer, and so far I have found the practitioners and gurus quite orthodox and simple in their belief that this form of contemplation can help us access the Presence of God in a profound, meaningful, and lasting way. It has already made an impact on my life, as I struggle with bipolar disorder, healing from abuse, anxiety, and all the usual stress of day-to-day life in pandemic times.
I would like to hear from people who know more about these forms of contemplation, their lived experience, and the benefits that can be derived from sincere practice.
