Centering Prayer

  • Arlington Community Church 52 Arlington Avenue Kensington, CA, 94707 United States (map)

Centering prayer is a mediation practice of surrender or contemplative prayer. In her book Centering Prayer and Inner Awakening, Cynthia Bourgeault writes, "...even though we can perhaps find ways to stop ‘outer noise’ it is much more difficult to still the “inner noise." She says Centering Prayer “….is a very simple method for reconnecting us with that natural aptitude for the inner life…(p.6) which, over time, of its own accord, leads to personal self-emptying and a more unitive outer life."

We will sit quietly on chairs or on a pillow on the floor opening our hearts with an open and clear mind to the Origin of everything that exists in the universe.
