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 Romans 5:1-5 (ESV):  1 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.  2 Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.  3 Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance,  4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope,  5 and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.   Please consider following us on Facebook for further videos, meditations, and articles: https://www.facebook.com/aMindfulChristian
