Meditation & Prayer

An Overview

Meditation is a physical and mental discipline traced back to many ancient cultures.  

It can be guided by another or quietly pursued in solitude. Both forms are effective for lessening stress and nurturing physical and mental health.

Various types of meditation are practiced today in many cultures, traditions, spiritual practices and various religions.  The discipline of practicing meditation has evolved into a variety of techniques, with the same basic goal: inner peace. Different cultures and spiritual traditions tend to have vastly differing ideas regarding the self, the universe, and spiritual forces.  

In general you can see these main philosophies at the core of many forms of meditation:

• Enlightenment or Self Realization/Elevation of the Self.
• Oneness with all that is spirit(ual), seen and unseen.
• Emptying the mind to transcend the body.
• Focusing the mind, breath and body on an unseen power which transcends time and space, is Self Existent, and is the Center and Source of all Life.

Meditation can be a mental and physical experience alone.  It is not the act of meditation that opens an individual to have a spiritual experience,  rather it is the ascribed belief system and focal point itself, which influence an individual's experience.   To the pure, all things are pure.   If you seek Pure Love & Truth,  much will be revealed by the Spirit of Truth.   What you do with that revelation can change your life.  It might be a narrow road but The Truth will set you free!

At Abiding Love Wellness we teach a variety of meditation techniques to promote the  wellbeing of mind, body, emotions  and spirit, specifically or for the whole being.  We create a customized meditation, based on your preferred outcome.  Where would you like to focus?  A peaceful mind?  Calm emotions?   A restful body?  A connected spirit? 

Spiritually,  we seek to BE STILL and KNOW we are held together and loved by something far greater than the mind can comprehend;  to transcend the physical and mental state of suffering, and connect our spirit to the One Eternal Spirit that gives peace, sustains life, sparks light and is Pure Love.  

When we are Still, Intentional with our breath, and open to receive Pure Love, we begin to experience  "Christ (The Anointing/ed)  IN us;  the hope of glory!"

"This Presence is so immense, yet so humble; awe inspiring yet so gentle; limitless, yet so intimate, tender and personal.  I know that I am known.  Everything in my life is transparent in this Presence.  It knows everything about me-all my weaknesses, brokenness, sinfulness-and still loves me infinitely.  This Presence is healing, strengthening, refreshing-just by its Presence.  It is nonjudgmental, self-giving, seeking no reward, boundless in compassion.  It is like coming home to a place I should never have left, to an awareness that was somehow always there, but which I did not recognize."    Open Heart, Open Mind by Thomas Keating 

An Overview

What do you think of when you hear the word prayer?  It can conjure up all sorts of ideas, depending on our experiences or lack of experience or exposure.  Asking an old white bearded guy to make your life better? Awkwardly piecing together words of gratitude and blessing before the yearly holiday meal?  Maybe you picture a silent building with stained glass windows, and a robed man with a gigantic cross around his neck or, could it be that pesky church lady shaking her finger at you, while she reminds you that God only listens to good boys and girls?

Modern translations of several historic texts have used the word prayer, when more often, a less ambiguous word would be better suited:  Meditation, Contemplation, Thanksgiving, Intentional Stillness, Seeking, Asking, Pursuing, Contemplative Prayer, Spiritual Listening and “Sending Good Vibes or Thoughts” are all forms of what we often label “Prayer”.

Abiding Love Wellness seeks to remove the veil that keeps humanity from experiencing the fullness of what PRAYER holds for us individually and collectively.   We bless you with wisdom, peace and understanding, by the power and revelation of the Christ. 

We believe the Oneness of Pure Love, which holds all things together, is much bigger than our minds can conceive and yet still intimate enough to experience. 

We seek to create an atmosphere where The Self Existent One -The Breath of Life, The Healer, The Provider, The Creating One-is welcome to show up and reveal to each individual our inherit value, as each person is imagined and designed in the very image of The Divine.  

As we keep going back to The Source of Light and Love, we begin to see ourselves, The Creator, and one another in Spirit and Truth.  

Let us join together and seek 

The Presence of the Almighty,  so we can learn Love.
