Christian Meditation Training

Discover the Peace of Resting in God’s Presence

Date: April 13, 2026
Time: 7:00 – 8:30 p.m.
Location: Christian Meditation Center

Is this you?

• Do you struggle with distractions during prayer?
• Do you long for greater peace and calm in your life?
• Are you curious about the historic Christian practice of meditation?

If so, this training may be exactly what you’ve been looking for.

Many Christians know how to pray, but few have learned how to be still long enough to listen.

Christian meditation is the practice of resting in the presence of God—quieting the mind, opening the heart, and allowing God to do His work within us.

In this 90-minute seminar, you will learn how meditation can deepen your relationship with God while bringing greater spiritual awareness, emotional balance, and interior peace into your daily life.

Teresa’s Story

For many years I loved God and was committed to my Christian faith, yet I still found myself struggling with addiction. It often felt like a form of bondage—living without the freedom to choose not to compromise my own values.

Around the year 2000, God began inviting me into a deeper relationship with Him. Instead of striving harder, I sensed Him calling me simply to rest in His presence and allow Him to do His work within me.

I first encountered Christian meditation through the writings of the saints. Teresa of Avila introduced me to the practice, and later the teachings of Thomas Keating helped deepen my understanding. As I continued exploring other Christian authors who taught this form of prayer, I began practicing meditation myself.

Over time, I experienced a growing interior calm, greater compassion for others, and eventually the self-control I had long prayed for.

Christian meditation did not just change my prayer life—it transformed my life.

What began as a personal journey eventually became a calling. On February 22, 2012, God led me to establish the Christian Meditation Center so that others could discover the peace, healing, and freedom that come from resting in the presence of God.

What Makes Christian Meditation Different?

Christian meditation is not about emptying the mind or detaching from God. Instead, it is about quieting our thoughts so we can become more aware of God’s presence within us.

This practice has deep roots in the Christian tradition and has been practiced by many of the Church’s spiritual teachers, including:

• Jesus and the early desert fathers
• St. Augustine
• St. Teresa of Avila
• St. John of the Cross
• Julian of Norwich
• Thomas Merton
• Thomas Keating

Christian meditation complements prayer rather than replacing it.

Prayer often begins the conversation with God.
Meditation invites us to listen.

In the stillness, we learn to trust God’s presence, rest in His love, and allow His Spirit to shape our lives from within.

What You Will Learn

During this training we will explore:

• The biblical foundation for meditation and stillness
• The difference between thinking about God and resting in God
• Discursive meditation and non-discursive meditation
• How meditation prepares the heart for contemplative prayer
• What you may experience during meditation and how to respond
• Practical steps for establishing a daily meditation practice

Participants will also experience a guided Christian meditation session and receive practical tools to continue the practice at home.

What Participants Often Experience

While every person’s spiritual journey is unique, many who begin practicing Christian meditation notice meaningful changes over time.

As the mind becomes quieter and the heart more attentive to God’s presence, people often experience:

• A deeper sense of peace and interior calm
• Greater patience and compassion toward others
• Freedom from anxious or repetitive thoughts
• Increased awareness of God’s presence throughout the day
• Greater emotional balance and clarity
• A deeper trust in God and His guidance

Often the fruit of meditation appears not during the time of prayer itself, but later—in the way we respond to life, relate to others, and experience God’s peace.

• Feel spiritually dry or distracted in prayer
