Meditation can be a gentle yet powerful practice for those who carry wounds from trauma or broken attachments. When we pause to breathe, slow our thoughts, and center ourselves, our bodies begin to feel safe again. Meditation helps quiet the constant noise of worry and fear, allowing space for peace and rest to take root. Over time, this practice creates room for new patterns of trust, connection, and hope to grow.
Meditation is not a new idea; it has been a part of the life of God’s people for thousands of years. In ancient Israel, to meditate meant to turn one’s heart and mind toward God, to remember His promises, and to reflect on His faithfulness. The Psalms often speak of “meditating day and night” on God’s Word, inviting us into a rhythm of pausing, remembering, and resting in Him.
Christian meditation is different from some Eastern practices that encourage emptying the mind. Instead, Christian meditation is about filling the mind, with God’s truth, His promises, and His presence. Rather than trying to push thoughts away, we gently bring our focus back to Scripture and to God’s love for us. In this way, meditation becomes a way to exchange anxious thoughts for peace, fear for hope, and lies for God’s truth.
