Meditating on the Psalms can be powerful. The old boys who wrote them knew a a lot more about God than I ever will.

Recently, meditating on the book of Ecclesiastes, enriching. Often neglected.

This weekend, I’m trying to understand the plight of the children on the Gaza Strip,
I’ll meditate on Lamentations.

Rumi can provide inspiration, too.

Proverbs, I find hard to swallow, with their parallel thoughts, some seeming contradictory whilst others expand and amplify. Like the sea they can be restless.

The sea itself is a place to meditate, as is a herb garden, or out for a run.

I’ve use zasim too.

@FreddieUK Questionable. Joseph Ratzinger said no. If you reduce your mind to a void. What is going fill it. Thomas Merton used it though. So does Peter Taylor, the authority on Thessa de Avila and St John of the Cross.

But it’s used by those who practise Mindfulness.
