Meditation is greatly misunderstood by most people. You can do it.
You can do it if…you can sit still and focus.
We focus on our breath. Slowing it down. Paying attention.
Then we focus our attention on God. We just sit (or lie, or walk) in the presence of God.
It may last 5 minutes. I may last 2 hours. Doesn’t matter.
Mystics? Not a popular word these days. Well known in previous centuries.
They are just people who make a daily practice for longer and longer times of sitting in the presence of God.
It changes their lives. They slow down. Are less anxious. Can face adversity.
We sometimes have visions of things God wants us to see.
And then again, sometimes not.
But we have conversations, speaking and listening, with God. We thank him. We ask him for guidance. But then we must listen and pay attention to what he tells us. Sometimes that is hidden within other people. It is up to us to discern.
