MEDITATION WITH CHILDREN

“Children are born contemplatives and so contemplation is not only the goal of the Christian life but in a sense its starting point too,” Fr Laurence Freeman has written in a foreword to the Like A Child series of books - a program for teaching Christian meditation to children in primary schools.

Children are saying that they do not want merely to learn about Jesus and God in their religion lessons: they wanted to experience God in their heart. Christian meditation provides your child with an opportunity to start a journey of silence and stillness where he will experience the presence of Jesus within. Visit the webpage:

WEEKLY READINGS FOR MEDITATION GROUPS

There are readings for meditation posted each week in English on the following websites: www.wccm.org, www.mediomedia.org and www.friendsinmeditation.com. Readings are also available In Spanish at www.meditacioncristiana.com and www.meditacioncristiana.cl.

The readings usually contain a teaching from John Main or Laurence Freeman, with a brief complementary after-meditation reading from other sources, including Scripture, poetry, and sacred texts from other traditions. The readings can be printed out and used in the group itself or given out to members as a support for their daily practice. Each week, hundreds of people around the world receive the readings directly by e-
mail; if you would like to receive them, just follow the instructions under the “Weekly Readings” section of these websites.

FRIENDS IN MEDITATION

"Friends in meditation" are a group of people who have been deeply touched by the gift of Christian Meditation. We are seekers whose lives have been transformed. We come from all over the world and from all walks of life.

In particular, a Friend supports the work of the
Community in developing, nurturing and assisting emerging Christian
Meditation communities in locations where there may be no regional
or national contacts or coordinators.
