The Annunciation by Henry Tanner
Meditation, the word brings to mind someone in white linen clothes sitting with their legs folded saying, “Ommmmm.” However, meditation takes many forms. Some people meditate in silence, while others prefer to have calming music in the background. You can meditate over a bible passage, a concept, favorite quote, or even you daily events. The method and content of your meditation is left to your discretion. This is prayer your way. It is customizable and helps you to focus on the parts of your relationship with God, which are most important to you at a given moment.
A peace and tranquility come with meditation. It is a way to not just speak with God, but to be with Him. It enables you to place yourself in His presence entirely. Remove all other distractions of life and focus solely on the love, grace and joy that God offers us every day. This Lenten Season find a quite time when you are alone in your dorm room and meditate or try the Examen an Ignatian form of meditation. Some quite time to reflect on how God influences your life can help put your stresses at ease. Knowing that we are connected with someone who loves us so much, can bring the calm we all need during our busy school days.
