"...a million opportunities for letting go" 🍃⁠
⁠
For those who may doubt that centering prayer is going to work for them – or may feel that they’ve tried and it didn’t work – one of our Contemplative Life leaders Liza Bell says that while it’s not a practice that everybody gets on with, she often encounters people who simply have a misunderstanding of what centering prayer actually is. Although it bears certain similarities to meditation, the goal is not to empty one’s mind of thought. Rather, in centering prayer, the intent is to become aware of thoughts as they come, inevitably, into our awareness… then practice letting them go. ⁠
⁠
“By the way,” Liza says, “your brain is not going to shut down! You’re always going to have thoughts arising. But this just means you have a million opportunities for letting go of those thoughts.” Liza connects the centering prayer approach to the words of Jesus: “When you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.”⁠
