The word meditation has the same root as medeli or medical, which means to heal. From this we can see that the word meditation contains the essential idea of healing or wholeness, the act of becoming whole in mind and body and expressing wholeness in our lives.
It is this aspect of becoming a whole person mentally and physically that draws so many people into meditation. We achieve wholeness by changing the direction of our thinking from without to within and thereby return to an awareness of our oneness or union with God.
We explore a variety of meditation techniques at our weekly Wednesday Night Meditation at 7:00 pm in the Peace Chapel.
