Christian Contemplation

We are a small group who have practised Centering Prayer here in Geneva for nearly four years. The method is easy to learn, and our group is open for anyone who wants to practice or try out Christian Contemplative Prayer. We may think of prayer as thoughts or feelings expressed in words. But this is only one expression. In the Christian tradition contemplative prayer is considered to be the pure gift of God. It is the opening of mind and heart - our whole being - to God, the Ultimate Mystery, beyond thoughts, words, and emotions. Centering Prayer presents ancient Christian wisdom teachings in an updated form. The practice is not meant to replace other kinds of prayer; rather it casts a new light and depth of meaning on them.
