For more on contemplative prayer, here are two excellent resources.
The next page has step-by-step guidance to walk you through the meditation from beginning to end. You’ll also find a guided meditation audio track – one of seven that accompany my book, Meditation – Deep and Blissful – which you can use if you prefer.
Whichever one you choose, you’ll probably only need it the first few times. It’s a little like cooking: it’s nice to have a recipe to follow, but after you’ve done it yourself a few times, its easy and you won’t really need the guidance anymore. You’ll have internalized the technique.
So, on to the next page!
