How to do Christian Meditation

‘How to do Christian Meditation’ is a short animation film that introduces meditation to people who have never meditated before, especially Christians who think that it is not part of the Christian traditions. The film has been produced by Paul Demeyer, an animation film director based in Los Angeles. He generously shares this film as a supporting resource for WCCM.

Many people, including many Christians, think that meditation is only found in Buddhism or Hinduism. Meditation belongs to the Christian tradition too as the prayer of the heart, where we let go of all thoughts and words. Jesus says 'Go to your inner room, close the door and be there in the presence of God".

The early Christian fathers and mothers have taught us to guard the heart from negativity and emotion by laying aside all thoughts. In Christian Meditation we enter into the inner room to enable the essential human journey. As we mediate day by day, we find deeper stillness, silence and simplicity that begins to transform our minds, our feelings and daily life all for the better. If you're serious about finding peace, be serious about learning how to meditate.

In his video, Paul takes us on a gentle journey to show us how simple and natural this process is. He explains, "That was the idea: how to do it, how many times you do it… and I also wanted to add about the resistances we have, so you are just aware of that. It is about introducing something that's not as difficult as it might sound or it's as difficult as it sounds whatever you're interpreted like ''.

Christianity isn't just another religion, it's a universal truth

Thank you for this video! Many people do not know that Meditation belongs to the Christian tradition as well

[diarmuidrooney]

Thank you so much Paul...it is so clear this comes from the depths of your being, of Being itself. One can feel the lineage of this rich tradition pushing at your back and creative imagination! The desert Mothers and Fathers, especially St. Evagrius Ponticus to St. John Climacus, and St Hildegard to St Theresa, then to today Fr. John and Fr. Thomas and so many more...all dancing in silence at this expression of beauty...

"When you pray, go into your inner room, close the door ..." - it's Mt 6, 6 ;)

I "quit" meditation for a bit because i read about christian way to do it, and for someone to be aware of god in us, and not about the path. This video was really well made and am ready to start meditating again. My goal before was to improve mental health and be more aware, but now its about God too. Thank you for making this video.

Thank you so much as this is not just a great video on Christian Meditation, but on meditation in general. For years, I have found much peace & wisdom in Zen Buddhism--esp Thich Nhat Hanh--and now have a way to relate mindfulness to my faith. God bless, 🙂

Love this. The animation is beautiful and light-hearted! Thanks! I will use it for our groups and new-comers! Thanks Paul!

This is inspiring and reassuring. There are so many videos on meditation for Christians that either don't describe anything recognisable as meditation, or they simply dismiss it.

I am working on it in tiny amounts of time and trying to increase it weekly. I am grateful for your gentle guidance and encouragement.
