On Centering Prayer

In this short video, Fr. Thomas Keating introduces the method of Centering Prayer by going through simple guidelines. Time just under 8 minutes. Enjoy!



The Guidelines offered are as follows:

One
Choose a sacred word as the symbol of your intention to consent to God's presence and action within you.

Two
Sitting comfortably and with eyes closed, settle briefly and silently introduce the sacred word as the symbol of your consent to God's presence and action within.

Three
When engaged with your thoughts, return ever-so-gently to the sacred word.
