connect

Disconnect with creation and connect with the Creator.

Meditation is simply letting go of that which is temporary (the created) and joining THAT which is eternal (the Creator).

Establish a daily practice of release and all will become clear,

turning

Meditation is that conscious act of turning away from our worldly concerns to THAT which does not come and go. This is not a new idea though many new-agers think so. It's stated perfectly in Psalms 131:

My heart is not proud, O Lord,
my eyes are not haughty;

I do not concern myself with great matters
or things too wonderful for me.

But I have calmed and quieted myself,
I am like a weaned child with its mother;
like a weaned child I am content.

Israel, put your hope in the LORD
both now and forevermore.

Turn away,

mercy

meditation is the search for what to give up in order to find that which cannot be lost.

Meditation is like de-cluttering a house crammed with years of accumulation. Bit by bit we discard old duplicate furniture, all the old newspapers, and even those prized pictures of vacations we took so very long ago. When we finish we are left with an inviting spacious space.

When we de-clutter our minds we are left with mercy.

empty yourself utterly,

surrender

Let go; empty yourself utterly; release; stop trying to fix yourself; relax; submit; release your grip. Sit quietly and take what you get. Notice what has never been lost.

"Everything in the heavens and earth reflects the glory of God, the Sustainer, the Holy, the Almighty, the Wise"
