Intro to Meditation
-
Remember that the point of meditation is just to be with God for some moments.
-
Remember that the effort He sees you make is the most important part.
-
Remember that at the end of the day - the meditation is just thinking about God.
-
Start every meditation with an image in your mind that is most effective for you in seeing God's goodness or beauty. It could be Christ on the Cross, Our Lady in a garden, a favorite painting of yours, a beautiful sunset or the stars. Anything.
-
Whenever you're distracted, come back to that image to refocus yourself.
-
You don't have to think of all the points of the meditation. If you're really into one point, stay on it. If not, move on to the next.
-
Follow the suggested times depending on your experience. Don't stop trying until the timer stops. That is so important.
First starting out - 5 minutes
After a couple weeks - 10 minutes
After a couple months - 15 minutes
