If you are a Chrisitian why is it wrong to meditate?
My yoga instructor meditates. I do not. But have thought about trying it. I have heard from various other christians - outside of my Catholic faith - that Christians should not meditate. I don't think the Catholic church has anything to say about it either way. But I wanted to know what other Christians thought. Please elaborate. Thank you in advanced
Catholics meditate all the time, but specifically on the lives of Christ and the saints and on God's love for us, things like that. The greater your ability to meditate on these things, the more spiritual and good you become. Meditation and contemplation are very difficult things to achieve for a Catholic, that is why it is all the more important to do them often. When we pray the Rosary, we are meditating on the mysteries of the Rosary while we recite the prayers. The better you are able to focus and concentrate on each mystery, the better you become spiritually.
