The tools of Contemplative prayer will be explored. These tools are designed to release us from the busy-ness of the mind in dialogue and move us to the non-dialogue realm.
Those who are already familiar with meditation practice and focusing attention in prayer, who have practiced visualization, chant, scriptural prayer, using a mantra, and feel unable to progress further may find contemplative prayer practice helpful.
Contemplative prayer may assist you in; practicing watchfulness; contemplating the qualities of God; practicing the reception of God’s love; practicing the art of letting go; examining the fruits of a spiritual life; examining the dynamics of contemplation.
