  • This is a selection of key pointers on the practice of Centering Prayer as taught by Fr. Thomas Keating (intended for prayer/meditation/contemplation) and extracted from various sources and texts.
    Thomas Keating, O.C.S.O. (March 7, 1923 - October 25, 2018) was an American Catholic monk and priest of the Order of Cistercians of the Strict Observance (also known as Trappists). Keating was known as one of the principal developers of Centering Prayer, a contemporary method of contemplative prayer that emerged from St. Joseph's Abbey, Spencer, Massachusetts. Fr. Keating was an internationally renowned theologian and an accomplished author. He traveled the world to speak with laypeople and communities about contemplative Christian practices and the psychology of the spiritual journey. He helped found the Snowmass Interreligious Conference, which had its first meeting in the fall of 1983 and continued meeting annually.

    When Mother Teresa was asked how she prayed, she answered, "I listen". The interviewer then asked, "well what does God say" ?
    She answered, "He listens".

    Thank you. Humility is forgetting of self (and let God take over). I am still far from this. Thank you God for the humility of knowing this.

      You are only as far as one thought away from Presence. Imagine yourself as a crystal orament hanging in a window 🪟 and you reflect the one light coming in out into multiple colors of fractal patterns in the room. The light goes through the prism and looks different, but that light of awareness is the same and only light, so we move towards the unconditioned light. I find breath to be the guide to the silence, 🤫 deep but relaxed continual breathes with ever deepening and subtle breathe you consciously slow the body down and the expansion can feel like a light shining through you and rest in your own being.

    There is a Dutch saying: dwijlen met de kraan open, which can be seen as solving symptoms instead of root causes. Interior silence which flows from understanding and self realization must be the solution then.
