Mindful Christian Meditation is a collection of guided meditations that combine mindfulness techniques with Lectio Divina, or "Divine Reading".   Lectio Divina is an ancient scriptural reading practice dating back to the 6th century that involves meditative listening to the formulaic reading of a passage of scripture. Those who listen are encouraged to set aside analysis, and what they “know” already about the passage, seeking instead to open themselves to God’s word, listen with their hearts, and receive it expectantly and passively. God's word read aloud is literally God speaking.   Mindful Christian Meditation aims to use common mindfulness techniques to bring one to a meditative state of mind that is void of the everyday concerns of life and the 24/7 inner monolog of our minds only to then fill it with God's precious word. These sessions are NOT meant to replace personal devotion time spent in prayer and in the scriptures, only to accompany it.       God's peace to you and your family!    The reading for this meditation is John 3:16-20 (ESV):   16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. 19 And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. 20 For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed.   Please consider following us on Facebook for further videos, meditations, and articles: https://www.facebook.com/aMindfulChristian
